EH GAN YA AH GO A....
(They don't take from the truth...)
Eh gan ya ah go a,
Ah ma e gbin a ah kpe a,
Tsukun na a dzun na a dzun a ni,
Emikpere u la nyagban u wu gbannyi,
Kamina wun ga e gban yawo na,
Ndarinna a ci kata o fe gbanle,
Zandondo e lagwa da shi enyayaci a,
Zana shi enyayaci na shi wuyafya,
YaIsah Kawu,
Buhari Kin Niger State,

Ena ga po kaba, wun a tami u,
Agan wo a gan zo,
Yi gan yiri wo e ga gun kin sakpa nyi o,
Eka na Soko da na e gbinya,
Eka yizheci ga yi gboduwa o,
Bona eza gboduwa ga dokun gan o,
Na wo a mini wo e kun,
Eza ci a shi na,
Ngba wo de kuti ke na wo a by na?
Woga ce takun daku shempa,
Wun a zhin be dan wotso,
Ratsa be robonkpe ci a fe mara be o nyi,
Sayi, yi gangan, Soko ga lugwa ah tigi eyewara ma,
Zandondo be wun a giye ya a ma.
