Before we rise

Ka kènè t’a la – Let there be peace

We’ll chase the night away

Wari t’a la – Let there be light

Move as one in a golden dawn

Sira bé ta – The path is clear

Bring our song to life

Before we rise

Ka kènè t’a la – Let there be peace

We’ll chase the night away

Wari t’a la – Let there be light

Move as one in a golden dawn

Sira bé ta – The path is clear

Bring our song to life

Seize the moon

Dɔgɔkun kɛ – Hold the moon

We’re gonna see this through

Bara tɛ sabali ye – There's no patience left / No time for waiting

Oh

In this ceremony

Kan bɛ nyininka la – The voices are in harmony / We are singing

Nothing left to lose

Golden light in the dead of night

in the dead of night

Breathe the dust of the dawn

Fɛ ka dunan – To begin the journey

Longing to leave our youth behind

Time eats its own drum

With the last light

We run

Seize the moon

Dɔgɔkun kɛ – Hold the moon

We’re gonna see this through

Bara tɛ sabali ye – No more patience

Oh

In this ceremony

Kan bɛ nyininka la – Voices united

Nothing left to lose

With the first breath

Ni wula don – When the day breaks

With the first light

We were born to fight

Nya ni baraji – Eyes and promise / Vision and hope

Before we rise

Before we rise

You can see our light

Kènè bɛ fɔ – Peace speaks / The peace is heard

Seize the moon

Dɔgɔkun kɛ – Hold the moon

We’re gonna see this through

Bara tɛ sabali ye – We won’t wait anymore

Oh

In this ceremony

Kan bɛ nyininka la – The song is alive

Nothing left to lose
