[Mende] We Rise Together

Lyrics

[Verse 1]  
Ngɔ ɔngɛla nyɔnyɔ, yisa yina, gbɛtɛ wa ma,  
Ngie wɔ gemɛ kpɔlɔa, nganya we yina ma.  
Kekele ba makɛ, gbɛtɛlu na yɛma,  
Lɔŋɔ ba yɛma, Swifin ta bɛɛma.

[Pre-Chorus]  
Ngɔ kpakpangba kɛ yina, sɛngɛlɛ wɔ kpɛma,  
Nigɛma yɛ pɛlɛɛ ba, nganya kɛŋgɔ wɔ sɛma.  
Kohunogo ngɛ ngɛngɛma, gbɛtɛla gbɔtama,  
Swifin ba yɛ maka—kɛnyɔ ni yɛ yama.

[Chorus]  
Wɔ yɛyɛ kɛ, ngɔkpɔ kɛma,  
Ngɔ ɔngɛla, wɔ yɛma.  
Ndi biɛŋkɛyɛma, wêhunogo wɔ yia,  
Ngɔni ba yɛla, wɔ yɛma.  
Swifin gbɛtɛ na wɔ yɔ, yɛma,  
Lɔŋɔ ba yɛma, ngɛma, ngɔ ma.

[Verse 2]  
Yɛkɛ kɛ ma ɔngɛla, yɛkɛ kɛ so lɔ,  
Yɛkɛ kɛ mà wêhunogo, yia wɔ ba wɔ.  
Ngɔ niyɛ wɔ loolu, ngɔ wuma yɛlɛ,  
Swifin wɔɛ ba yɛma, nduhu wɔ lɛlɛ.

[Pre-Chorus]  
Tɔɔ lɛ ba yɛma, wɔ yɛ ni yɛ,  
Yɛ bɛni yɛma, ba wɔ wɔ ni yɛ.  
Kohunogo ngɛ ngɛngɛma, wɔ wɔ yɛ sɔ,  
Swifin yɛyɛ kɛma, ɛlɛ wɔ ma wɔ.

[Chorus]  
Wɔ yɛyɛ kɛ, ngɔkpɔ kɛma,  
Ngɔ ɔngɛla, wɔ yɛma.  
Ndi biɛŋkɛyɛma, wêhunogo wɔ yia,  
Ngɔni ba yɛla, wɔ yɛma.  
Swifin gbɛtɛ na wɔ yɔ, yɛma,  
Lɔŋɔ ba yɛma, ngɛma, ngɔ ma.

[Bridge]  
Ngɔ wɔ yɛ wɔ yɛ, wɔ ɔ kɛɛ,  
Ngɔ wɔ gbɛtɛ, wɔ ni wɔ blɛ.  
Maa ngie na lɛ, pa ni wɔyɛ,  
Ngɔ ba yɛ mà, wɔ wɔ ni yɛ.

[Chorus]  
Wɔ yɛyɛ kɛ, ngɔkpɔ kɛma,  
Ngɔ ɔngɛla, wɔ yɛma.  
Ndi biɛŋkɛyɛma, wêhunogo wɔ yia,  
Ngɔni ba yɛla, wɔ yɛma.

[Outro]  
Swifin lɔ kpɛma, ndɔn wɔ yɛma,  
Gbɛtɛ kɛ wɔ yɛ, ba wɔ yɛma.  
Ɛyɛ gbɔlɔ wɔ yia, wɔ wɔ lɛlɛ—  
Wɔ yɛ wɔ yia, wɔ yɛ ni yɛ.
