Yucu ninu xian Kumasi
Yucu ninu xian Kumasi
Ini-ri jin-ro, kua'a kiti nchaka-ro
In the sky, we fly, high and free
Nuni cháa ñú-un nayuu roó
The stars shine down on us all
Nta'u nta'u, ntukuiñi-ro
Step by step, we walk together
Maro skuanu yunu
Bring the light, oh my love
Skuanu ita yisi
Light that shines so bright
Ita nteyu, vincha, ji'i
You and I, forever, always
Ntuvi ja kanuu skuanu-ro
Together we create our destiny
Yunu nuyuja
Your love, a melody
Nuxeñu, nujanu
In my heart, you reside
Nuyuntu, inti-i kanuu
Nuyuntu, you are the light
Io iin chaa ntiti roo
I am here by your side
Te tu kuenta sa'a-de
Tell me your story, my love
Konte nu ni ntua-ro
I won't let you go
Pan ni sa'a
Just stay with me
Te vasi nuku'un ini-de roo
You are my heart, my life
Chii maro kuu ja sa'a
Let me hold you tight, my dear
Lu Lu yuku ninu
Oh oh, I feel you near
Te nuu nte'e jika-yo
You are my dream come true
Tuun tuun ntukuiñi-ro
Forever we'll be together
