"Azan Nan Kpé"


Ahiwo-n-n
Bowessi bawa dji-hi-lo-h'o
Ibopomo-o
Etan boda outan nougbe
Mehbao twi biwe teh-teh
Mi kwon dji kwo
H'evile noh zizanweh
Ahiku ban djiho
Bethole nubeduhe

Emaka yinoro pibighen
Turi rimheoh
Mewi buduyadjiwe
Yeh-nan gbe yehe boku
Bunanleda tuheye
Uwe teh-n—n
Webewileh kanago djedoh

(Chorus):

N'gwazan wa kweha
Bethe ma siudo mitehne
Emini minayo-oh
Ya duru mitagleh

N'gwazan wa kweha
Ahikuman nanhan bugh—
Sufan dhioleh
Yenawa dje puli-hi...uh-uh

Emaka suyinan ine
H'a h'awenuha
N'dagwo mitoneh wehighele
An-ghe-yan bla ye-he dugohmeh
Bonanle goug' yeha
Tat'shia gwede
Numoko djionale djeha

(Chorus)
