"Ogunda did not give offence,
Ogunda did not cause pain,
it is not good to punish Ogunda"
were the ones who cast for Olowo,
on the day that he was told
to make sacrifice, in order not to
be punished his whole life long.
They said that never in his life
Olowo would be punished.
"What is the sacrifice?"
one very happy Olowo asked.
One pigeon, one sheep, 4400 cowries.
Olowo listened and made the sacrifice.
Always honor and respect other people;
it is better not to punish
the son of an honorable man.
A tree is honored
for its complicated shape;
albino's are honored
because of Obatala.
All of you should honor me.
