Yayaaya

A bad wind has blown
Causing a great river to overflow
Our father, Kwadwo Akwaboah
God keep your soul safe
Daddy, we love you so much
Oh, yes
This death pains me
God keep your soul safe

A father knows what his children will eat
So if I don't change my ways, no one will understand me, yes
Because if someone didn't raise you, they won't know
That if I become famous, it's not just for glory
My helper, death has taken him away
Kwadwo Akwaboah, his hand was in everything
The elders say, "When one father dies, another father lives"
If there's another, please show him to me

Oh, yes, oh, yes
If I eat, it's tasteless
If I cry, it's pointless
If I laugh, it's meaningless
Father, where are you?
You've made your children's eyes fill with tears
Oh, you've made your children's eyes fill with tears

If I eat, it's tasteless
If I cry, it's pointless
If I laugh, it's meaningless
Mother, where are you?
You've made your children's eyes fill with tears
Oh, you've made your children's eyes fill with tears

The rain didn't fall
And I didn't feel the hunger pangs either
And then, it happened so suddenly
The torchlight I use to watch the road
Has it extinguished my father's lamp?
Aaah, Daa! Aaah

Oh, yes, oh, yes
If I eat, it's tasteless
If I cry, it's pointless
If I laugh, it's meaningless
Father, where are you?
You've made your children's eyes fill with tears
Oh, you've made your children's eyes fill with tears

If I eat, it's tasteless
If I cry, it's pointless
If I laugh, it's meaningless
Mother, where are you?
You've made your children's eyes fill with tears
Oh, you've made your children's eyes fill with tears, oh
