Lyrics

[Intro]  
Oh na-na, sɔre, Afrika hyerɛn!  
Sika yɛ adwuma, yɛn nyansa yɛn!  
Sweefin di akyi, hwɛ ɔsoɔ no,  
Ɔman no dɔ, fa anigyeɛ no!

[Verse 1]  
Fi kurom kɔ kurom a ɛhyerɛn,  
Yɛ yɛ adwuma, ɛdaakye no yɛ hyerɛn.  
Nkitahodie yɛ wɔ hɔ, ɛpono mu no,  
Yɛ sa nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn, mpɔtam hɔ.  
Oh, fi Accra kɔ Nairobi hyerɛn,  
Sweefin yɛ kwan so yɛn nkɔsoɔ.  
Fa me nsa, ma yɛ sɔre na yɛ gyina,  
Yɛyɛ sika wɔ asaase yi so.

[Chorus]  
Oh-oh, sika yɛ adwuma ma ɔman no,  
Bɔ mu no, ma nnipa nyinaa gyina.  
Fi mpɔtam mu, yɛ sa ɔfasuo no,  
Ɔhoɔden ma obiara mu.  
Oh-oh, sɔre na bɔ mu, ɛyɛ wo nsam,  
Afrika nne, te aseɛ no.  
Sweefin anigyeɛ, ma anidasoɔ nnɛ,  
Sika yɛ adwuma, daakye hyerɛn.

[Verse 2]  
Obiara nni hɔ a wɔgyaa no, ɔhemmaa biara nni hɔ,  
Wiase bɛhwɛ, yɛ yɛ foforɔ.  
Sika nsuo yɛ, ɛpono mu no,  
Ohia nni hɔ, yɛyɛ foforɔ.  
Oh maame, serew, wo ba bɛyɛ kɛseɛ,  
Sweefin aba, ma aba no da adi.  
Sika yɛ adwuma, oh ɔsoro yɛ dwoodwoo,  
Nhyira dwom wɔ baabiara!

[Bridge]  
Te mu no, oh ma ɛnsɔre,  
Fi Cape Town kɔ Nile no.  
Sika yɛ adwuma wɔ ɔman mu,  
Hwɛ sɛ ɔdɔ ma wo nan so.  
Ɔman no sɔre, daeɛ no nkwa,  
Sweefin tumi bɛtena mu.  
Nkitahodie ne gyidie wɔ asaase biara,  
Yɛyɛ den, yɛyɛ kɛseɛ.

[Chorus]  
Oh-oh, sika yɛ adwuma ma ɔman no,  
Bɔ mu no, ma nnipa nyinaa gyina.  
Fi mpɔtam mu, yɛ sa ɔfasuo no,  
Ɔhoɔden ma obiara mu.  
Oh-oh, sɔre na bɔ mu, ɛyɛ wo nsam,  
Afrika nne, te aseɛ no.  
Sweefin anigyeɛ, ma anidasoɔ nnɛ,  
Sika yɛ adwuma, daakye hyerɛn.

[Outro]  
Oh yie, ma sika ntra,  
Wɔ nsam biara, ma ɔdɔ nyɛ.  
Afrika sɔre, oh ɛyɛ kɛseɛ,  
Yɛyɛ biako, yɛyɛ kɛseɛ.  
Na-na, na-na, bɔ mu nnɛ,  
Sika yɛ adwuma hyerɛn.  
Ɔman no dɔ, Sweefin kwan,  
Ɔkyena hyerɛn fi nnɛ!
