KWԐԐԐ, BOLGA TII TII

Kwԑԑԑ;

I am wearing my long skirt

And my long sleeve shirt

Coupled with my korle bu powder on my face

Magye me mooku, ko ko ko

Mashԑ me spԑԑce

And I’m looking fly

But Braa Kwame says not to come close

 

Tell me I’m beautiful

Tell me I’m fly

Adԑn na wo hwԑ me saa,

Ԑnyԑ fԑ anaa?

Na anka ԑwↄ sԑ me shԑ mini skirti

Ԑne bare baacki?

Whatever the case

Call me pretty

 

Mabↄ mahuma tire

Mayԑ heavy

Mate nkuto abↄmehu

Me honam ayԑ shiny

Matwe me duawa tintintini ahyԑ m’ano mu

Cleaning to avoid mouth odour

But Braa Kwame says not to come close

 

Tell me I’m beautiful

Tell me I’m fly

Adԑn na wo hwԑ me saa,

Ԑnyԑ fԑ anaa?

Na anka ԑwↄ sԑ me shԑ mini skirti

Ԑne bare baacki?

Whatever the case

Call me pretty

 

Madi me nana afutuo so

Ahyehyԑ me ho ama wo

Granny says;

 Of all pomades shea butter is best

Of all powders Korle bu is best

Of all clothes, the most covering is best

Of all hairstyles, threading is best

Na afei adԑn na wo yԑ me saa?

Wohunu me a, na wo guane guane

Wo hunu me a na wotetԑ tetԑ

Braa Kwame, why can’t I come close?

 

Tell me I’m beautiful

Tell me I’m fly

Adԑn na wo hwԑ me saa,

Ԑnyԑ fԑ anaa?

Na anka ԑwↄ sԑ me shԑ mini skirti

Ԑne bare baacki?

Whatever the case

Call me pretty.
