In the land of Eru Oba, Oshún lived with Shangó, who was a tyrant and mistreated her so badly that he was slowly destroying her. Her father Obatalá advised her to go to Orunmila, but she was afraid Shangó would leave her if he saw her going in there. Oshún fell gravely ill, and Obatalá went to Orunmila's house for her: he saw this Odù and made her the ebbó of the two hens — sleep all night with them to trade warmth, and then put them with the rooster to breed. And when Shangó came back, give him a dish of honey to eat while singing «Ari dale oñí ekó ayiloda». Shangó was enchanted by the song and the dance, they did ofikale trupon — which Oshún needed — and he told her: «You will always be a woman I respect».
In the land of Eru Oba there lived a young woman called Oshún, who lived with a man called Shangó, who was a tyrant to her and mistreated her a great deal, so much so that Oshún, being a young woman, lived in great suffering that had changed the way she was and was slowly destroying her.
Obatalá, who was Oshún's father, went one day to visit her and realized what was happening to his daughter, and told her: «Why do you not go to Orunmila, so he can put your situation right?». She answered: «Father, if Shangó sees me going into Orunmila's house, he will think I went looking for something to do against him, and then he will leave me, as he has done other times». Obatalá said nothing to her, but went away worried.
A few days later, Oshún fell gravely ill, but since Shangó had not been to the house for several days, he knew nothing about it. When Obatalá learned his daughter was ill in bed, he went quickly to Orunmila's house, who made osode for him, saw this Odù, and ordered the ebbó made for Obatalá's daughter: two hens, cloth from her body, bed linen, earth from the house, earth from the river, honey, a gourd and two hearts of mated pigeons.
Obatalá got what Orunmila had marked, and Orunmila made the ebbó for Obatalá's daughter. When it was finished, Orunmila told him: «Now take Oshún the rooster and the hens, and tell her to sleep all night with the hens, so she takes their warmth and they take hers; then take them and put them with the rooster so they breed. And when Shangó comes back to the house, take a dish of honey and give it to him to eat, and while he eats, you sing: “Ari dale oñí ekó ayiloda, ekó dale Oshún ekó ayiloda”».
When Shangó arrived, it was done, and Shangó was slowly enchanted by the song and the dance, until he told Oshún: «Let us do ofikale trupon» — which was something Oshún needed. After they finished, Shangó told her: «You will always be a woman I respect».
Note: when the hens are taken and put to sleep with the person, the prayer of this road is prayed to Oshún. When you want to sweeten Shangó, Oshún's stones are taken and plenty of honey is poured on them, so it falls straight from Oshún's stones onto Shangó's, while singing the suyere.
