Akwaaba, ogbe ts xmx!

Ah – oh welcome, welcome seven stars oh Ghana
Welcome, welcome seven stars oh Ghana
Welcome, welcome seven stars oh Ghana

Second verse

Akwaaba, ogbx tsxmx,
Ghana our beloved country, our heritage fought for us
It was built by God and taught by our fathers
We love our culture so much
So my people, come and dance Kpalogo
Ashanti come and dance Adowa
Ewes come and dance Agbadza
Let us left our culture to the word
Kenti tsi ni Boboobo is our proud
He hyiman Damaye Asudum Kumdomu
Fetu homowo Ogyura Abuakyir Akwesidai Dipo and the others
We are lifting all higher to the world
come to Ghana our beloved country
