Lyrics

An b’an da don kumala
An kana da don kuma bèe la
An b’an da don kumala
An kana da don kuma dòw la
An k’an da bò kuma dòw la
Nin kèra cènin dò ye dumuniba kè kun kad’a ye
N’a ye suman min tèmètò ye, fo ale ko dò dun
N’a ye dumuni tèmètò ye, fo ale ko nènèèhen
A bòla muso de kò sa, a taara ni muso y’a ka so
Denminsènw nyè dal’a kan
Olu bèe ko a ma
Olu bèe kulela
Bakònòba
U ko a ma babakònòba ye baba
Bakònòba
U ko a ma babakònòba ye baba
Bakònòba
U ko a ma babakònòba ye baba
Bakònòba
U ko a ma babakònòba ye baba
Bakònòba
Nin kèra cènin dò ye dumuni bakè kun kad’a ye
N’a ye suman min tèmètò ye, fo ale ko dò dun
N’a ye dumuni tèmètò ye, fo ale ko nènèè
Denminsènw nyè dal’a kan
Olu bèe ko a ma
Olu bèe kulela
Bakònòba
U ko a ma babakònòba ye baba (Bakònòba)
U ko a ma babakònòba ye baba (Bakònòba)
U ko a ma babakònòba ye baba (Bakònòba)
U ko a ma babakònòba ye baba (Bakònòba)
U ko a ma babakònòba ye baba (Bakònòba)
U ko a ma babakònòba ye baba (Bakònòba)
U ko a ma babakònòba ye baba (Bakònòba)
U ko a ma babakònòba ye baba (Bakònòba)
Denminsènw nyè dal’a kan
Olu bèe ko a ma
Olu bèe kulela
Bakònòba
