Lyrics

**[Intro — Warm Female Vocals, Gentle Afrobeat Rhythm]**

Oh na-na, yɛrɛ sɔre,  
Hu ɔdɔ no, hann a ɛyɛ fɛ.  
Ɛda foforɔ refrɛ, ɔsoro yɛ fɛ,  
Ɔwɔ ne anisoadehunu, ɔpɛ sɛ ɔsoro.

Oh na-na, teɛ asɛm no,  
Ɛnipa pii de wɔn akoma reto.  
Sweefin no ma ɔkwan no hann,  
Ɔkɔ soro wɔ ɛda foforɔ no.

**[Verse 1]**

Maame ka kyerɛ me, "Hu w'ahodeɛ,  
Wo wɔ tumi sɛɛ wubetumi sesa wiase yi."  
Fi aseɛ a ɛyɛ dinn kɔ anisoadehunu a wɔnnka,  
Ɔwɔ koma a ɛyɛ sika kɔkɔɔ.

Nsa a ɛsa yareɛ na ɛbɔ adan,  
Anisoadehunu mpempem reba mu.  
Ɔyɛ aburoo, na ɔma ɛnyini,  
Na ɔma ɔkwan no hann ma wɔn a wɔwɔ fam.

Fi kurow mu kɔ ɔman no mu hann,  
Ɔyɛ anisoadehunu sɛ ɔkɔ soro.  
Ɔman no tumi, anidasoɔ a yɛhwɛ,  
Ɔyɛ nea ɛdaakye bɛyɛ.

**[Pre-Chorus — Building Energy]**

Ma ɔnso daeɛ, ma ɔnhyerɛn,  
Bepɔw biara ɔbɛtumi asɔ.  
Ma no krɔkɔ, ma ɔnsoro,  
Hwɛ sɛ ɔbue ɛpono biara.

Sɛ ɔsɔre a, yɛsɔre,  
Biribiara nni hɔ a yɛrentumi nyɛ.  
Nsa wɔ nsa mu, yɛn nyansa mu,  
Hu tumi no a ɛyɛ nkwa!

**[Chorus — Explosive, Joyful Dance Hook]**

Oh-oh-oh, ma ɔnsɔre!  
Hwɛ ogya wɔ ne ani mu.  
Oh-oh-oh, ma ɔnhyerɛn!  
Ne ɔkyena no fi nnɛra.

Hey-ya, hey-ya, teɛ ne frɛ,

Oh-oh-oh, ma ɔyɛ di,  
Ɔyɛ ɔkyena a yɛhia!

Sɔre, sɔre, ma ɔnsɔre,  
Te sɛ anɔpa wɔ ɔsoro.  
Sweefin no, anisoadehunu bɛyɛ nkwa,  
Sɛ mmea yɛ nkɔsoɔ a, yɛn nyinaa yɛ nkɔsoɔ!

**[Verse 2]**

Wɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ ɔntwɛn ne bere,  
Seesei ɔwɔ wiase a ɔbɛnya.

Hwɛ akokoduru wɔ ne ani mu.

Ɔyɛ adanfo, ɔyɛ ɔkyerɛkyerɛfo,  
Wɔde ɔdɔ tumi wɔ ne mu.

Ɛyɛ ɔpɔwmuden a ɔyɛ.

Ɔtumi di, ɔtumi yɛ,  
Ɔbɛyɛ ɔkyena, ɔbɛsesa ne dɔm.  
Fi adwuma a wɔyɛ wɔ ɔman mu,  
Ma ne anisoadehunu nyinaa da.

**[Pre-Chorus — Layered Female Harmonies]**

Ma ɔnso daeɛ, ma ɔnhyerɛn,  
Bepɔw biara ɔbɛtumi asɔ.  
Ma no krɔkɔ, ma ɔnsoro,  
Hwɛ sɛ ɔbue ɛpono biara.

Sɛ ɔsɔre a, yɛsɔre,  
Biribiara nni hɔ a yɛrentumi nyɛ.

Hu tumi no a ɛyɛ nkwa!

**[Chorus — Full Afro-House Energy]**

Oh-oh-oh, ma ɔnsɔre!

Sɛ mmea yɛ nkɔsoɔ a, yɛn nyinaa yɛ nkɔsoɔ!

**[Bridge — Emotional, Then Rising Celebration]**

Maame a ɔwɔ daeɛ,  
Ababaa a ɔnyɛ hu  
Nea ɔbɛyɛ nyansa,

Ma ne nne nyɛ dɛ wɔ nnɛ,  
Ma ɔsoɔ biara nsɛe wɔ ɔkwan.

Ne bere aba, ne bere a ɔbɛsɔre.

Ma ne daeɛ hyerɛn wɔ soro.
