Jovani – Alayo Lyrics

Verse One:
Igba kan wa laye mi,
Temi ko rona gbegba,
Emi ko r’ounje je,
Kosomi latimu,
Emi ko ribi gbe,
Awon ore wa d’ota,
Sugbon Jesu mi d’eti wa,
Emi d’alayo.

Chorus:
Jesu kristi mi deti wa,
O s’ekun mi d’ayo,
O nu omije minu,
Ara e bami yo,(2X)

Verse Two:
O somi d’asegun,
O somi d’alayo,
O nu’omije nu,yeeh
Ara e bamiyo,
O gbami lowo iku,
Ore to se funmi opo,
Koje kin ko bata f’egbe,
Ara e bamiyo,
Eru jeje leti okun pupa,
Ekun oko faraoh,
Oba ti ko lafiwe,
Ara e bamiyo,
Won fe fimi Seleya,
Won fe fimi seyeye,
Olohun ni ko fuwon se,
Ara e bamiyo.

-Repeat Chorus-

Translation of Alayo in English

Verse one:
Once upon a time,
I had no way out in life.
I had no food,no water to drink.
I had no where to live,
My friends became foes.
But now that Jesus has come,
I am a happy person.

Chorus:
Now that Jesus has come,
He turned my tears into joy,
He wiped my tears away,
Come and rejoice with me.

Verse two:
He made me victorious,
He made me a happy person.
He wiped my tears away,
Come and rejoice with me.
He saved me from death,
His goodness over my life
cannot be quantified,
He didn’t make me a slave to my mates.
Come and rejoice with me.
The Mighty One by The Red Sea,
The Humbler of Pharaoh.
The Incomparable God,
Come and rejoice with me.
They planned to mock me,
They planned to make me an object of ridicule.
But God didn’t allow it.
Come and rejoice with me.

-Repeat Chorus-
