[Ijaw/Izon] We Rise Together

Lyrics

[Verse 1]  
Ebe bu ruru, noru ke nite, ekena ke doro,  
Oru nɪbiri, e ken na, jine ne eji k'ama.  
Eyi da ma ba nɪkɪ, nɪbiri ebi to kuruma,  
Ebi ɔ́kɔ nɪbiri, Swifin zɔ na xé.

[Pre-Chorus]  
Sɔ nɪkɪ ebia, k’akɪ ke fɔ kú,  
Oru nɔmɛ, a be k’ondo, na nɪbiri, dɔk’ɔ.  
Oru be fɔ ebi, doro ke dɔ be gu,  
Swifin k’ama ebi—bɛ k’ekeme xé ma.

[Chorus]  
Ibi zɔ eyo, nɔmɛ rɔ,  
Ado egi, k’ama bɛ yọ.  
Ebi nɔtɔ ayɔ, doro ke bɔrɔ,  
Nɔma ya, nɔmɛ, aku mɛ gbe.

[Verse 2]  
For ebi nɔ ke xɔ, for ebi nɔ ke fɔ,  
For ebi nɔ xɔ ri, k’ama ya hɛ ne.  
From ogbam to ogbe, from dǫ ke urumi,  
Swifin dɔk’ɔ ebi, k’a kɔ mɔn ke ní.

[Pre-Chorus]  
Eyi nɔ be ebi, nɔmɛ n’ime eyo,  
K’ondo bɛ dá jɔ, dɔ ke ya be fɔ.  
Nɔ k’ama, e geba, ni gɛke fɔ,  
Swifin ke ebi, k’a kɔ nɛ nɛ.

[Chorus]  
Ibi zɔ eyo, nɔmɛ rɔ,  
Ado egi, k’ama bɛ yọ.  
Ebi nɔtɔ ayɔ, doro ke bɔrɔ,  
Nɔma ya, nɔmɛ, aku mɛ gbe.

[Bridge]  
Sɛ nɪbɪ n’akɪ, nɔma dɔ xɔ,  
Oru, nɔrȯmu, ebi iḿɛn rɔ.  
Eyi nɔ fɔ, ebi nɔ bɔ,  
Eyi nɔ k’ama dɔ, nɪma fɛ.

[Chorus]  
Ibi zɔ eyo, nɔmɛ rɔ,  
Ado egi, k’ama bɛ yọ.  
Ebi nɔtɔ ayɔ, doro ke bɔrɔ,  
Nɔma ya, nɔmɛ, aku mɛ gbe.

[Outro]  
Swifin ke ebi rɔ, nɔmɛ wɛ nɪ,  
Oru t’ama dɔ, nɔ be dɔ ke yé.  
From nɔma k’ama, k’a dɔ ke yɔ—  
K’ondo bɛ fɔ n’ibi, k’ama mɛ kɔ.
