Obatala, Chief of the Òrìsà

Ogunda funfun orun funfun yin

Ta lao masin torun ba pe?
Oosanla la o ma sin borun ba pe

Translation

Ogunda is white, Heaven is also white
Cast divination for Obatala
coming from heaven to earth
Whom shall we worship every five days?
It is Obatala we should worship every five days.°

He sleeps in white. He awakens in white. Majestically, he arises draped in white. Obatala, venerable father, I pray you have awakened joyfully today. Hepa Òrìsà!
