Iya ni wura
Mother is Gold
A Treasure untold
Gifted to the Human race
To soften life’s arduous task
Yeye ni wura
A crystal gift
Given to humanity
That the vicissitudes of life can be curtail
For truly mother is gold
An irreplaceable gem
Which shines and sparkle
In the darkest days of life
Soothing our deepest pains
Anchoring us safe through the raging winds of life
That we may glow in crystal gold
