Iwoya Lyrics & Chords By Angélique Kidjo

Dave Matthews:
You don't have to be old to be wise
A bird doesn't wait 'til it dies to fly
Emptiness is not for me
Fill me up and spill over me

Angélique Kidjo:
Titila ela temi yo
Lon dan ninou ayé pelou oyaya
Mon fé dada foun éda mio
Fon fé ki ayé temin koda

Dave:
See your soul, open your eyes
From inside, your soul comes shining

Angélique:
Mon ria émi ninou i fè
I fè foua nami pelou ayo

Dave:
You don't have to be old to be wise
Don't you hear the baby crying?

Both:
Iwoya, Iwoya, Iwoya
Iwoya, Iwoya, Iwoya

Angélique:
Goun nounkoun kou ikou lémé
Kpala n'la la
Afatcha idarugbo
Kpala n'la la

Both:
You don't have to be old to be wise
A bird doesn't wait 'til it dies to fly
And emptiness is not for me
Fill me up, fill me up, spill over me

Iwoya, Iwoya, Iwoya
Iwoya, Iwoya, Iwoya

Angélique:
Oloriré nin èda
Oloriré ni èda mio
Emin o lérin hoho wa lé
Oriré ni ti agba do

Oloriré nin èda mio
Oloriré ni èda
Emin o lérin hoho wa lé
Oloriré ni èda mio

Iwoya, Iwoya
Iwoya, Iwoya
