[Intro]  
Oh na-na, wuok piny, Afrika ywaya!  
Pesa biro, wan gi paro!  
Sweefin tero, neng' ka wuotho,  
Piny mama, winjo tugo!

[Verse 1]  
Kochopo dala nyaka boma,  
Wang'ni okinyi, mori tek.  
Ketho tim, nyithindo wuok,  
Nang'o lokruok, kwayo ok.  
Oh, Nairobi, Accra yweyo,  
Sweefin tero yore mondo dhi.  
Kawo luedha, ka wan chungo,  
Konyo piny gi lonyore.

[Chorus]  
Oh-oh, pesa biro piny mama,  
Tugo, nyithindo chungo.  
Kuom ketho, wang'ni otemo,  
Konyo joma, bedo ngima.  
Oh-oh, wuok kendo ywaya,  
Dwond Afrika, winjo tugo.  
Sweefin tero mor odiechieng',  
Pesa biro, wang'ni okinyi.

[Verse 2]  
Kata ng'ato oketho, kata ruodha,  
Piny ng'eyo, wan gi paro.  
Pesa yweyo, dhok odhiye,  
Piny ngima, wan yweyo.  
Oh mama, yie, nyathini wuok,  
Sweefin ketho, konyo kanyo.  
Pesa biro, polo ler,  
Ng'eyo dwond ngima piny.

[Bridge]  
Winjo tugo, oh wuoth kendo,  
Kochopo Cape Town nyaka Nile.  
Pesa yweyo e dala,  
Winjo tugo, nyithindo wuok.  
Pinje chungo, paro ngima,  
Sweefin teko ochungo.

Kata kende, wan gi teko.

[Chorus]  
Oh-oh, pesa biro piny mama,  
Tugo, nyithindo chungo.  
Kuom ketho, wang'ni otemo,  
Konyo joma, bedo ngima.  
Oh-oh, wuok kendo ywaya,  
Dwond Afrika, winjo tugo.  
Sweefin tero mor odiechieng',  
Pesa biro, wang'ni okinyi.

[Outro]  
Oh ee, pesa yaa,  
Kocha kendo, hera konyo.

Kata kende, wan gi teko.  
Na-na, na-na, ywaya kendo,  
Pesa biro, wang'ni okinyi.  
Piny mama, Sweefin yore,  
Odiechieng' mor owuok kawuono!
