Harvestime Lyrics

Harvestime - Beautiful Nubia and the Roots Renaissance Band

...

You know the truth the say will set you free

And if you play it right you win the game

The race is not for those who are swift

The crown will be won by those who wait

Se b'eyin l'e l'oni o, e de nsi'wa wu

Eni to l'ola nbo l'ona won nsa're

Oba to l'ojo gbogbo ki ma i sun

Enit'o moye a be yin o, ke te'ti

(It may be your turn today

But those who own tomorrow

Are already in the race

The knower of all things never sleeps

Words for the wise!)

So you can sow your seed and watch it grow

Harvestime is near and we will see

It wouldn't matter who you know or seek

Time is up and you will pay the price

Ore mi ta'fa s'oke f'odo b'ori

Esan o ni s'ai ke, o le pe o, k'o gbo

Arigisegi, modaru, apa, obayeje

Igba otun ma de tan, mo ma nw'ona k'e gbo o

(Warning to the corrupt, the wicked,

Destroyers, defilers of the land and the people

The season of payback cometh, beware!)

Se b'eyin l'e l'oni o, e de nsi'wa wu

Eni t'o l'ola nbo l'ona won nsa're

Oba to l'ojo gbogbo ki ma i sun

Enit'o moye a be yin o k'e te'ti

Otito koro ye o, ko dun l'eti

Oro etan iyen ma l'o po ju

Eni a wi fun oba ma je o gbo o

Eyi a kilo fun, ma je o gba l'asiko

Se b'eyin l'e l'oni o, e de nsi'wa wu

Eni t'o l'ola nbo l'ona won nsa're

Oba to l'ojo gbogbo ki ma i sun

Esan ika le pe sugbon o nbo, ke gbo o
