Ede, the town of Màpó Àrógun

The town of (Ọba) Tìmì

The town of great warriors

We are ready to lift it to greatness

Descendants of Ede Màpó Àrógun

Descendants of those who cherish beauty

Beautiful everyday like a zebra

Let us join hands to lift our town to greatness

In unity lies our strength

Everything that is good

Is usually compared to Ede

In dispute about the standard of things,

People often ask if it is as good as Ede

Their reaction is that it is as good as Ede

In the South

In the North

In the East or West

There is no place like home

Because home is the place of rest after work

We are praying to You, God

Accept our prayers over our town

For Ede to triumph over others

May God help us

Amen
