*Poem for departed souls*
My memory would not cherish you less.
You left us without leaving us.
a life well spent
How did you know you needed to plant a lot of joy in us that will last till the end of time?
Chorus
I hope you find peace.
Farewell to you!
I hope your earthly light keeps shining.
Farewell to you!
Oh, Elédùmarè,
father of all
Keep that precious soul.
Farewell to you!
Your soul is too peaceful to cry upon,
You are gone.
Your words are here, living.
those times you said
I love you.
Those times you said you care,
I hear the resounding of those words.
Your soul speaks love.
Chorus
I hope you find peace.
Farewell to you!
I hope your earthly light keeps shining.
Farewell to you!
Oh, Elédùmarè,
father of all
Keep that precious soul.
Farewell to you!
Does the body really count?
How come I feel you so near?
Maybe you never left.
Maybe you gain freedom from body control,
You are free now.
No mortal language can express,
Pain and joy in one cup
Farewell!
Chorus
I hope you find peace.
Farewell to you!
I hope your earthly light keeps shining.
Farewell to you!
Oh, Elédùmarè,
father of all
Keep that precious soul.
Farewell to you!
Farewell, sweet soul.
I will cherish these memories till the end of time.
We have always loved each other in absentia.
Loving you is so easy.
Smiling at you is cheap.
I will do them till the end of time.
Farewell
Mimo mimo ni ti oluwa olorun Elédùmarè
Iba fun Elédùmarè
Iba Asee
