LET’S DANCE ADOWA

Hit the atumpan

Hit the agyegyewa

Hit the apentenmma

Hit the dawuro

Hit the nnawuto

Hit the dondo,

let the bells and rattles sing

As we dance adowa.

We will dance and give thanks to Otweadeampong Nyankopong

Then move on to speak in languages only a royal like you will understand

Both hands of mine will take my heart from its chestly enclave and give it to you

I will twist around for the world to see my beauty

In the hand woven beautiful multi coloured kente

I will tell you in the language no one understands

That all opposition can do their worst

Yours is the only name this heart has endorsed

I will proclaim your handsomeness in a gesture every heart will understand

And will touch your bare chest to put a mark of “mineness” on it

You can do same sweetheart,

So come, let’s dance adowa

Let’s dance so vigorously that the gods will wake and witness,

So vigorously they will be forced to bless this union.
