Lyrics - Transliteration
(Folk song from Ghana)
Miweh ni wa yo, duk-ah no kpo
Miweh ni wa yo, ah-yeh
Miweh neh yo, suku neh djo
Miweh neh yo, duk-ah mi-seh lo
Dja leh leh leh-leh leh!
Translation - Make it a good one
You must do it well for others to see
You must do it well
You must do it well, it’s an era of education
You must do it well for others to listen
Dza le lee leele lee! (exclamation)
Ewe - Miwɔe nenyo
Miwɔe ne woa nyo, dukɔwo no kpɔ
Miwɔe ne woa nyo, a-yee
Miwɔe ne nyo, suku nyae dzɔ
Miwɔe ne nyo, dukɔwo mise loo
Dza le lee leele lee!
