Babilonia Asehweɛ
1 “Siane kɔ, tena mfuturo mu,
Ɔbabaa bunu Babilonia;

5 “Tena ase dinn, kɔhyɛ esum mu,

6 Me bo fuu me nkurɔfoɔ,

Nanso woannwene saa nneɛma yi ho

8 “Afei tie, wo odwamanfoɔ,

9 Saa nneɛma mmienu yi bɛto wo

10 Wode wo ho ato wʼamumuyɛ so

Wo nyansa ne nimdeɛ ma wo fom kwan

‘Me ne no, obiara nni hɔ ka me ho.’
11 Amanehunu bɛto wo,

12 “Kɔ so yɛ wo ntafowayie

Ebia wobɛdi nkonim,

13 Woabrɛ wɔ afotufoɔ bebrebe a woanya no mu!
Ma wo nsoromma ho anyansafoɔ mmra anim,
