Oyeku Meji, the Averter of Death !

Oyeku Meji, the Averter of Death, Oyeku Meji, the Averter of Death,
Oyeku Meji, the Averter of Death, I call upon you three times. I beg you,
Averter of Death, if Death is coming my way, help us to avert it.
During all my given years here on Earth, please avert
my Death until my destined day to die.
Avert Death not only for me, but also for my children,
and for all those who are in my prayers.
May they not die young, may they not die in fire,
may they not die in tragedy, may they not die in shame,
may they not die in water.
Oyeku Meji, the Averter of Death. Ashé!
