Babilonia Asehwe
1 “Sian kɔ, tena mfutuma mu,
Ɔbabea Babilonia;
tena fam na mfa ahengua,
Babiloniafo hemmea kuropɔn.
Wɔremfrɛ wo bio se,

2 Fa awiyammo na yam esiam;

Ma wʼatade so kɔ soro, na wo nan ho ngu hɔ,

3 Wʼadagyaw bɛda adi

Mɛtɔ were;
meremfa obiara ho nkyɛ no.”
4 Yɛn Gyefo, Asafo Awurade ne ne din,
ɔno ne Israel Kronkronni.
5 “Tena ase dinn, kɔhyɛ sum mu,

6 Me bo fuw me nkurɔfo,

Nanso woannwen saa nneɛma yi ho

8 “Afei tie, wo oguamanfo,

9 Saa nneɛma abien yi bɛto wo

10 Wode wo ho ato wʼamumɔyɛ so

Wo nyansa ne nimdeɛ ma wo fom kwan

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