Mätu ta Yauni rota
1 OPI, ma voondre kuru midri,
mise nyabe ori giti miro dri vo'buyakuru ya ono.
2 Oso ruindu'ba kabe mio'ba 'desi ndaro dri ronye,
ago oso ruindu'ba ŋguti ro kabe mio'ba 'desi
anyaro toko ro dri ronye,
mà ugu voondre kpa oso inye mi OPI, Lu amaro dri,
madale nya'dona lutu yauni be ämäri.
3 Nya'do yauni be ämäri, Äye OPI,
nya'do yauni be ämäri, tana aye ama te oye kozi si.
4 Ŋga'bai guyi ama te madaro
ago 'dieza'bai 'doloyi ama te driuŋgyi si.

A Prayer for Mercy
1 Our Lord and our God,
I turn my eyes to you,
on your throne in heaven.
2 Servants look to their master,
but we will look to you,
until you have mercy on us.
3 Please have mercy, Lord!
We have been insulted
more than we can stand,
4 and we can't take more abuse
from those proud,
conceited people.
