I do not know the exact translation but you get the hint ;) Saol Fada

Translation and correct spelling has been made for you: Omi tuto, [=fresh water] ana Tuto, tuto la roye [it's ona tuto/tutu fresh road or path, tuto/tutu laroye speaks to the road of elegba laroye. Laroye means revolt.] Tuto il,[tutu-fresh house] Tuto om [tutu-fresh children] Tuto owo [tutu-fresh money] aiku babagua [aiku or ariku babawa is by the blessings of the ghost of forefathers. It also refers to an entity that lives on the roof of the house that oversee's all incoming and announces it before it arrives] This part of the petition asks for the blessings of specific entities associated to ifa/Orunmila worship only. It does not address family ancestors, osha priests or priestesses, or any other ancestral souls: Ybababa, ybayeye,yba echeda, oba baroque[ iba baba, iba yeye, iba acheda, oba baroke[mentioning in recognition father, mother, acheda is an ifa entity, etc] ach boguo olvo [ache bogbo oluwo blessings from all orunmila priests] Loku Elese Olumare[It's TOKU that passed away, dead --elese Olodumare at the feet of Olodumare] Oba Ernesto Pichardo CLBA olukumi@hotmail.com
