Hi flaco.

Ago, toyo ma le kawa o, olele
Ago, toyo ma le kawa fumi ye
Bara unsoro koto (altern.: Iya unsoro koto)
Omo lowo sire o, olele.

Word separation upon my own guess. Nobody can say for sure what the words mean.

For melody and clave see also my transcription:

Cheers,

Thank You so much Thomas.

Is this transcription from your book?

How can I get it ?

I used to have this orisha anthology, but I lost it in moving and don't know how to get another copy.
Your transciption is much clearer. Let me know how to purchase a copy of your stuff, and thanks again.

Flaco:

My book has handwritten transcriptions. I wrote it before I got my Finale notating program. The above example is one of the unpublished transcriptions that I made afterwards.

You may learn more about the book at http://www.ochemusic.de/ochelit.htm (where to buy, FAQs etc.). There you can also examine a typical sample page.

Greetings,

Thomas
