**[Intro — Gentle Piano, African Guitar, Rising Percussion]**

Oh-oh-oh, naŋ nya vɩ?  
Sɛɣɛ yʋbuŋna alɛ ka ablɔɔ.  
Oh-oh-oh, nya sɩɩ,  
Aho nam tatso tʋm nɩɖɛ.

Tɔyɔɔ naɖɛ, tsɩyɩfɔ naɖɛ,  
Gɛnɛ ka alɛ ka ablɔɔ.  
Oh-oh-oh, naŋ sua,  
Ata nʋtʋ aŋ sɩta yebɩ!

**[Verse 1]**

Faviŋ yaanɖɛ naŋ jʋ nɔ,  
Bɔɔ sɛnɖɛ naŋ nyɛ tʋm nɩɖɛ.  
A kolɔ ka sɩta, na yʋgbɛlɛ,  
Xana tʋm buŋka na alɔ.

Dɔɔ bɔ aŋ sɔŋ, sɩŋɩ mɩyɛ,  
Ɖi alɛ yaŋ naŋ yɛna yi.
