Lyrics

**[Intro — Distant Choir, African Drums, Rising Synth]**

Eh-oh, eh-oh!  
Te aseɛ yi reba!

Fi ɔdan ketewa kɔ ɔman kɛseɛ,  
Sɔhwɛ no yɛ, ɛde nkɔmɔ ba.

Oh-ya, oh-ya!  
Mote nnipa no nnwom?

Sɔre, sɔre, kɔ akyi!  
Kɔyɛ papa no nkɔ so!

**[Verse 1 — Percussive Afrobeat Groove]**

Anadwo no ogya bɔɔ kwan no,  
Anɔpa yi mpɔnsa kɔ so.  
Wɔn a wɔnte nka da  
Rekasa, wɔrekyerɛ kwan.

Fa wudwa, yɛ abɔnten,  
Sɛ yɛkeka a, yɛreboɔtɔn.  
Sweefin bɛboa yɛn abɔ mu,  
Nsɛm a yɛbɛka, yɛbɛyɛ kɛse.

Nsoɔ da no yɛ fi aseɛ,  
Nkwa biara yɛ sɛnkyɛ.  
Ɛnyɛ sɛ yɛtwɛn nsoromma,  
Yɛbɛyɛ nanso awia no bɛhyɛ.

**[Pre-Chorus — Handclaps and Rising Harmonies]**

Mote no? (Te no!)  
Muhu no? (Hunu no!)

Papa bi reba,  
Wɔhɔ yɛ me ne wo.

Fa wo ho, boa w'adanfo,  
Ma ɔsɔfopɔn nkɔ so.  
Sɛ wiase nyinaa ka ho,  
Tiatia nneɛma nnyigye!

**[Chorus — Explosive Global Dance Hook]**

Sɔre, sɔre, kɔ akyi!  
Kɔyɛ papa no nkɔ so!

Di w'akyi, to dwom yi,  
Nnipa nyinaa, mo ntena!

Sɔre, sɔre, kɔ akyi!  
Ma nkuto no ntɔ!

Hey-oh, hey-oh, yɛre kɔ,  
Hwɛ sɛ nsɛm a yɛbɛyɛ!

Upbeyond! Upbeyond!  
Ma nsɛm no nkɔ so!

Fa wo nsa, fa w'ahoɔden,  
Ma wiase nyinaa nsɔre!

**[Post-Chorus — Festival Crowd Chant]**

Oh-ya-ya! Oh-ya-ya!  
Nnipa nyinaa, ka ho!
