Lyrics

[Intro]  
Oh na-na, kam na, Afrika we lan!  
Lefna for beti, we tin na pan!  
Sweefin na di wi pa, e go rayti,  
Mama Salone we taygi, lenti!

[Verse 1]  
Fom town wi kam ti city lamp,  
Wi na moku, wi futcha lamp.  
Soja fo na do, doot dem open,  
Katu dem break, no more kalimpen.  
Oh, fom Freetown to Nairobi bo,  
Sweefin de open we pa go.  
Hol me han, lan wi rise an tan,  
Buldin richis na we lan.

[Chorus]  
Oh-oh, moku fo wi mama lan,  
Dan to di bit, let di pipul tan.  
Fom no say, wi tok di wal,  
Empawa pipul, lan we all.  
Oh-oh, rise an dan, na en na ni han,  
Afrika we voice, o di band.  
Sweefin flow, bring hop tonight,  
Moku move, futcha bright.

[Verse 2]  
No man lef, no kwein fo bye,  
Di worl go si, wi redefine.  
Money flow, open di get,  
Poverty don, wi fo pet.  
Oh mama, smile, yo pikin go big,  
Sweefin seed, let di havis dig.  
Moku move, oh di skai so clear,  
Prosperity song na everywhere!

[Bridge]  
Feel di bit, oh mek am ride,  
Fom Cape Town to di Nile side.  
Moku flow, through evri street,  
Watch di beat, mek yu feet.  
Nation rise, dream na live,  
Sweefin pawer wi go survive.  
Trade an trust, na evri lan,  
To get strong, wi go span.

[Chorus]  
Oh-oh, moku fo wi mama lan,  
Dan to di bit, let di pipul tan.  
Fom no say, wi tok di wal,  
Empawa pipul, lan we all.  
Oh-oh, rise an dan, na en na ni han,  
Afrika we voice, o di band.  
Sweefin flow, bring hop tonight,  
Moku move, futcha bright.

[Outro]  
Oh yeah, let di moku flow,  
Through evri han, let di lof show.  
Afrika rise, oh so grand,  
Together wi move, han in han.  
Na-na, na-na, dan tonight,  
Moku move, shinin bright.  
Mama Salone we taygi, Sweefin way,  
Tumara shines fom today!
