Yen Ara Asase Ni (Ghana Anthem)

Yen Ara Asase Ni

Yen ara asase ni

Eye abooden de ma yen

Mogya a Nananom hwie gu

Nya de to ho ma yen

Adu me ne wo nso so

Se ye be ye bi atoaso

Nimdee ntraso nkotokrane

Ne apese-minko-minya

Ato yen bra mo dem

Na ye 'sase ho do atom se

Chorus:

Oman no se eve ye yie oo

Oman no se ennye yie oo

Eye se na ose

Omanfo bra ne ekyerei


The English Version

This is our own land,

And valuable is it to us.

Blood was shed by our fore-fathers to acquire it for us.

It is  our turn now, you and I,

to do our part,

Know-it-all, cheating and greed,

Has  scarred our behaviour,

And has diminished our affection for our land.

Chorus

If the land shall prosper,

If it will not prosper,

It shall be the ATTITUDES of its CITIZENS that determine it.

Let's take our time to digest the words of this anthem of our dear Ghana.

For God. For Country. For Us.
