I asked why is Owon laughing so lively?
Me bisa adɛn nti Owon sere saa?

Orunmila responded by saying,
Orunmila kyerɛɛ sɛ,

Owon is laughing so lively because
Owon sere saa efiri sɛ,

There is money in the house,
Sika wɔ fie

There is a wife in the house,
Ɔyere wɔ fie

There are children in the house
Mmɔfra wɔ fie

Everything is in the house
Biribiara wɔ fie                                        

Indeed, Owon life is exactly right
Ampa, Owon bɔ bra a edi mu

Owon weighs everything in the balance
Owon kari biribiara nsenia mu

Owon does not eat without measuring
Owon susu aduane ansa na wadi    

Owon does not drink without measuring what he drinks
Owon susu biribiara ansa na wanom

Owon susu ntama ansa na wafra  
         
Owon does not build a house before making measurements of what he is going to build                                
Owon ɔnsie dan ansa na wasusu
Woforo dua pa a, yɛpia wo.
