Lyrics - Akan
(Folk song from Ghana)
Bantama kra kro,
Me ye den na m’anya bi madzi?
Kra kro de de iyi,
Me ye den na m’anya bi madzi?
Kra kro kra kro,
Me ye den na m’anya bi madzi?
Me nyi sika
Me ye den na m’anya bi madzi?
English Translation - Bantama pastries
Bantama pastries,
How can I get some to try?
How delicious are the pastries!
How can I get some to try?
Pastries, pastries,
How can I get some to try?
If you don’t have any money,
How can I get some to try?
