OBAAHENMAA (QUEEN MOTHER)





Obaahenmaa,
Mother of the people
The voice of the voiceless
The giver of life
You swore to be available morning, noon or night

Tufuhenmaa
the village will suckle on your breast
the get life giving food
you should comfort the weeping
from day break until they are sleeping

Obaahenmaa,
you should light a flame
In the young girls hearts
be a role model
before their motherhood starts

Tufuhenmaa
Ye gena ma wu
maameaye
Ye sore ma wu
titipan titipan bre bre bre bre

Obaahenmaa,
heavy is the head that wears the crown
but you wear it well
Mother of the children
make them proud
and stand out from within the crowd
