Oba Ewaure N'Ogidigan II
To. (The Oba Of Benin)
Omo N’Oba N’Edo Uku Akpolokpolo
Oba Ewaure N’Ogidigan II
He who is wise in all grace
Learned and dignified by his royal lace
Chosen by the forebears themselves
To be the custodian and protector of
The Edo heritage and peoples
He who was destined to be king
Right from the womb .
For it is said :
Aise agbon rrio oba
Ehimwin ake rrio re.
He who has taken over from his father,
Whose strength surpasses that of a panther .
He who sees both yesterday and tomorrow
May your reign know no sorrow .
He who we all, call our father
May your fame and prosperity
Echo In distant lands and borders .
Oba mwen
May your reign as the Oba N'Edo
Be Long and Peaceful
Oba gha to kpere
Ise!!
