Lyrics

Ohhh
Olóòkun mi, Olóòkun mi
Omi tí ń wẹ̀ ẹ̀sùn wa
Omi tí ń wẹ̀ ẹ̀sùn wa
(Olokun, my Olokun
Waters that wash away our sins
Under the quiet morning sky, I kneel beside Your shore,
My heart is heavy with burdens I can no longer ignore.
Olóòkun, Olóòkun, hear the trembling of my soul,
Let Your waves roll over me, let Your mercy make me whole.
The tide whispers forgiveness as it brushes at my feet,
A sacred song of healing where the heavens and waters meet.
Mo bẹ̀ ọ, Baba Okun, ràn mí l'áánú loni,
(I beg You, Father of the ocean, show me mercy today)
Haaaa Yee! Olóòkun Yee!! Olóòkun Yee!
Olóòkun, Olóòkun, wash me in Your grace,
Let Your forgiving waves erase my darkest days.
Oh! Carry my shame far beyond the shore,
Make me new again forever, evermore.
Every crest and every crash reminds me of Your strength,
How You take a broken vessel and restore it at length.
My tears fall into Your waters and disappear beneath,
A promise that redemption is as endless as the deep.
You calm the storms within me, You silence every fear,
You cradle me with tenderness that only spirits hear.
Olóòkun, gbe mí soke, kí n lè tún dide,
(Olokun, lift me up, that I may rise again)
Let Your waves of mercy shape the life I long to live.
Olóòkun's forgiving waves… carry me home!
Wash me clean, let Your healing waters flow!
Come from the ashes of my pain, let a new light rise,
As You cleanse my soul like the dawn cleans the skies!
Olóòkun, forgiving waves carry me home
Olóòkun — Your mercy forever saves,
let Your healing waters flow!
Aanu re gbo, Olóòkun mi
Your mercy is deep, my Olokun
Wẹ̀ mí mọ́, wẹ̀ mí mọ́
Wẹ̀ mí mọ́, wẹ̀ mí mọ́
Ma jẹ́ kí n pada sí òkunkun mọ
Ohhh… ohhh… Olóòkun
Olóòkun's forgiving waves — renew my soul!
From the depth of the ocean, let Your mercy unfold!
Let generations sing of the love You gave,
How the broken were restored by Your holy waves!
How the broken were restored by Your holy waves!
Holy waves
We rise and give You praise,
Olóòkun mi
We rise and give You praise,
Olóòkun mi
For in Your mighty waters…
Olóòkun mi
Hmmmm Olóòkun mi
Hmmmm Olóòkun mi
Omi ìbápọ̀, omi ìdárò oh oh oh oh
Olóòkun mi
Hmmmm wẹ̀ mí wẹ̀ mí
Wash me cleanse me
As the waves whisper grace
