3Awurade bo kyɛ fuw, na ne tumi so,

Ne kwan wɔ mfɛtɛ ne ahum mu,

4Ɔteɛteɛ po na ɔma ɛyow;

5Mmepɔw wosow biribiri nʼanim

6Hena na obetumi agyina nʼabufuw ano?

“Ɛwɔ mu sɛ wɔwɔ nnamfonom a wɔdɔɔso de,

“Worennya asefo a wo din bɛda wɔn so.
Mɛsɛe nsɛsode a wɔasen ne ahoni a wɔagu

Nnipabɔne rentu wo so sa bio;
Wɔbɛsɛe wɔn pasaa.
