Ode to Life and Love on the Highlands of Ekiti

Oh life, love, and ecstasy on the highlands of Ekiti,

How sweet is your beauty,

How sweet is your melody.

The beauty of the Highlands of Ekiti,

Filled with lush greenery and rolling hills,

Makes the heart sing with joy and thrill.

From the upland groves of Iye in Ekiti,

Where the butterflies dance in the air,

To the sacred groves of Oke Ero in Ekiti,

Where the sacred waterfalls and springs flow,

Life, love, and ecstasy reigns and glows.

The beauty of the highlands of Ekiti,

Filled with natural wonders and magic,

Makes us forget all the worries and strife.

From the majestic highlands of Ado in Ekiti,

Where the sunsets are always picturesque,

To the rugged highlands of Emure in Ekiti,

Where the thunderous rivers course through,

Life, love, and ecstasy always break through.

The beauty of the highlands of Ekiti,

Filled with vibrant wildlife and majestic views,

Makes us always want to come back and renew.

From the highlands of Oye in Ekiti,

Where the birds greet each day with joy and cheer,

To the grand highlands of Gbonyin in Ekiti,

Where the nightingales sing sweetly,

Life, love, and ecstasy is always ever near.

Oh life, love, and ecstasy on the highlands of Ekiti,

How sweet is your beauty,

How sweet is your melody.

Thank you for always being there,

To give us the joy, peace, and serenity,

That we always seek and need.

For life, love, and ecstasy,

On the highlands of Ekiti,

We are forever grateful,

And we thank you endlessly.
