Oba Ewuare II is learned and dignified by his royal lace
Chosen by the ancestors themselves
To be the custodian and protector of the Edo heritage and peoples

He who was destined to be king
Right from the womb.
For it said 'Arhia agbon rhio oba
Ehimwin ake rhio rre.

He who has taken over from his father, Whose strength surpasses that of the

Who sees both yesterday and tomorrow
May your reign know no sorrow.

He,that we call our father
May your reign be long and peaceful
Oba Gha To kpere!!!
