Yoruba Praise Poetry
II
Oríki of the
Awori People
Oríki is a Yoruba tradition of praise poetry and eulogy — a spoken art form that honours the identity, lineage, and character of a people. It is both a greeting and a declaration of heritage.
The Greeting of the Awori People- Mariwo tu yeri yeri
- Agan tu yeri yeri
- Awori Omo Akesan, omo oloko ni ilu Isheri,
- Omo iwaju oloko to n s'owo,
- Eyinkule oloko to nso ejigba'leke,
- Omo ogedengede oloko to ntan yebe yebe loju omi,
- Omo kafopa wa kafaje wa, ka tun sopa nu ka s'aje nu,
- Kafogede gede owo w'ako de'le Isheri. Ki ti gbe?
- Oge i ri.
