# LIFTARA *Ni ka sigida, an bè sigi nyogon.* **[INTRO — Djembe Kono, Djelibaa Ngoni, Sira Kolo]** Hey-oh! Hey-oh! I ni barika ka sigida! I ni barika ka bara nyogon! Kelen, fila, saba— LIFTARA! *(Dununba bè faga)* **[CHORUS — Afro-House Kolo]** Sigida, sigida, LIFTARA! Bolo ka segin, an bè yɛrɛ ka sigi! Oh-eh-oh! Oh-eh-ah! An bè yɛrɛ ka sira sira!

Ka sɛbɛn ka yɛrɛ ma, An bè sigi nyogon dɔɔnin. Sweefin bè yɛrɛ ka jɔ, Ka sigida, ka yɛrɛ ka san. Ka sigida ka yɛrɛ nyogon, Ka yɛrɛ bè taara ka san. **[PRE-CHORUS — Musokoroba Kolo]** I ka sira kɔrɔ nyogon? I ka djembe kɔnɔ kɛ? Ka yɛrɛ ma kɔrɔ nyogon, Ka duniya ka sigi! An ka sɛbɛn kɛ nyogon, An ka yɛrɛ ma ka sigi. Ka yɛrɛ ma kɔrɔ mɔgɔ, Ka yɛrɛ bè taara ka sira! **[CHORUS — Amapiano Kolo]** Sigida, sigida, LIFTARA! Bolo ka segin, an bè yɛrɛ ka sigi! Oh-eh-oh!
