Yoruba song in Poésie de mots inconnu

Hello!

I am writing a commentary on a 1949 of "Poetry in Unknown Words," which largely consists of dada gibberish and sound poetry, but the first selection is clearly a Yoruba song—which I imagine is perfectly sensible.

Could someone help me identify the source of this song (or these three songs, if they're separate)? And could someone provide a translation, or point me toward an anthology that might include one (if this is a major work)? I'd be happy to note your contribution!

Thank you in advance!
