about

Ojo maa ro is an African playground song that children sing during the dry season. It is a prayer to ask for the showers when everywhere is dry and dusty. Parents and storytellers can clap and dance to the gentle music, or play a percussion instrument to the rhythm.

lyrics

Ojo maa ro - Lyrics in Yoruba
Chorus: Ojo maa ro ojo maa ro (2ce)
Itura lo je

Eweko o yo boo ba ro, eweko o yo
Agbado o yo boo ba ro, agbado o yo
Emi o le leran lara boo ro,
Emi o ni yo kun

Ojo maa ro - Lyrics in English
Chorus: Rain please fall
You are refreshing

Plants cannot grow if you do not fall
Corn cannot grow if you do not fall
I cannot be healthy if you do not fall
I cannot have enough to eat
