I, the AK
'Guan-tana'

Meyɛ abaayewa a masi so wɔ abrabɔ yi mu
My parents die, wey they lef me asaase bi
Yɛse mennodɔ so, menyɛ adwuma nnidi so
Nsa a ɛnyɛ adwuma, that one too no dey chop o
Madɔ so ara, masiesie so
'Mawater' no nsu pa
Madua ankaa, kwadu, masan nso adua borɔferɛ
Ankyɛ biara, borɔferɛ no ayɛ kɔɔ, borɔferɛ yi ayɛ kɔɔ
Obiara pɛ sɛ ɔkɔ hɔ, obiara pɛ sɛ ɔto boɔ

Kɔte o, na mepɛ sɛ medi (borɔferɛ na abere kɔɔ yi a)
Kɔte ma me, na mepɛ sɛ medi (Braa Kwame, mesrɛ wo ara)
Kɔte o, na mepɛ sɛ medi (borɔferɛ na abere kɔɔ yi a)
Kɔte ma me, na mepɛ sɛ medi (ɛ'dɛ o)

If you no butu, you no go chop
You no suffer, you no go chop
If you no butu, you no go chop
You no suffer, you no go chop

Every woman, work for yourself
You for believe in yourself
Let no man control you like controller
'Or' sweet-talk you like vanilla
Adeɛ bɛkye, na woda veranda

You for work, work, work hard o
Pray to, pray to your God o
Work, work, work hard, ɔbaa
You for work, work, work hard o
Pray to, pray to your God o
Work, work, work hard, ɔbaa

Kɔ-kɔ-kɔte o, na mepɛ sɛ medi (borɔferɛ na abere kɔɔ yi a)
Kɔte ma me, na mepɛ sɛ medi (Braa Kwame, mesrɛ wo ara)
Kɔte o, na mepɛ sɛ medi (borɔferɛ na abere kɔɔ yi a)
Kɔte ma me, na mepɛ sɛ medi (ɛ'dɛ o)

If you no butu, you no go chop
You no suffer, you no go chop
If you no butu, you no go chop

Yɛse mennodɔ so, menyɛ adwuma nnidi so
Nsa a ɛnyɛ adwuma, that one too no dey chop o

Madua ankaa, kwadu, masan nso adua borɔferɛ
Ankyɛ biara, borɔferɛ no ayɛ kɔɔ, borɔferɛ yi ayɛ kɔɔ
Obiara pɛ sɛ ɔkɔ hɔ, obiara pɛ sɛ ɔto boɔ

If you no butu, you no go chop
You no suffer, you no go chop
If you no butu, you no go chop
Ты не страдаешь, ты не идешь рубить

Каждая женщина, работайте на себя
Ты за то, что веришь в себя
Не позволяй ни одному мужчине управлять тобой так, как контролер
"Или "сладкоречивый, ты любишь ваниль
Аде бек, веранда на воде

Тебе за работу, за работу, за усердную работу.
Молись, молись своему Богу, о
Работай, работай, усердно работай, ɔбаа
You for work, work, work hard o
Pray to, pray to your God o
Work, work, work hard, ɔbaa

Kɔ-kɔ-kɔte o, na mepɛ sɛ medi (borɔferɛ na abere kɔɔ yi a)
