I sing another dirge tonight

Amεtee gidigidi

amεba dεkεdεkε

kε amεkoto sεε kpεnshεε kpεnshεε

I will tell you of the times

The times before the fall

Even before the worms

eat up my leaves

Como un encuentro

el encuentro de Korle e Insho

se moverán como serpientes

más rápido que las olas

que han olvidado su camino

en los grandes mares profundos

o yaafo lε fec lε fεoni efoc

I sing another dirge tonight

And none that heard came to console

The palm trees bear me witness

As their wine stood by my side

I will awake to walk your path

I will trace its footprints

When I march on

On on till I lose sight of you

Beni wctee wcyamc okpo

ni blcgi kumc eshwie

wcnaii anc ni wcbo shuushaa

Does it end there?

With falling leaves

And drying greens

And farming soil

Does it end there?

With falling rain

And scorching sun

And dry windy air

Does it end there?

Strong tide lifting

And anchor drifting

And cables straying

When tears get dry

And clouds roll by

With its darkness

Will it end there?
