Lyrics - Ewe
(Folk song from Ghana)
Klinua miedo ɖo vɔ
Aɖatsia ge
Miatɔ badzaviawo, klinuanu miedo ɖo vɔ
Aɖatsia ge, dzimelefowo na gbugbɔ
English Translation - We've arrived at Klinua
We’ve arrived at Klinua,
The tears fall,
Gbazda players, we’ve arrived at Klinua
The tears fall, if you are not brave, return.
