I lef mi mooma and A lef mi papa inna Sokodé
I lef mi bredda and a lef mi sista fi di land of plenty
I ran to di river di Kara river and A wash mi body deh
I asked sweet Dora from Bassila "Gimme Illa glacé"

Ah miss mi fufu mi bredda Fofo and mi can o' Milo
Samsamé Mango Bafilo Aneho di pickney sey "yovo!"
ah miss Fafavi, princess Mawussi, Karin o memba me...
nights in Togoville and days pon de hill,
evryting cook and curry!

ah lef mi mooma and ah miss mi papa, mi hometown Sokodé
ah lef mi bredda dear ol' sista oh carry mi deh

right on time di lord crown I king!



just in time put you in di fryin' pan

and ah let ya in man til di end of time!

you played wid di fiya when ya steal mi banner!

no you ain't got no honour better run fi cover!!
