Ei, what is this song talking about?
Im loving it though, progress on my language skills cos I could hear it was in Ga before I double checked. Oyee!
The beat reminds me sooo much of traditional Southern African music! Infact its almost exactly.

Afrika Unite!

Translations for Wogbe lyrics by Amandzeba

Wogbe jeke (ei), ejeke ejeke, woje shonn - Our road/path is long, it’s very long, we came from afar

Keje Israel keba Egypt, keje Ethiopia ke Sudan, woje shonn - From Israel to Egypt, from Ethiopia and Sudan, we came from afar

Keje Ayi Kushiman yi no, woniimei ke wonaamei, woje shonn
- From Ayi Kushiman and co, our grandfathers, and grandmothers, we came from afar

So-so Timbuktu, Ghana, Mali, sumanguru yi no, woje shonn - So-so Timbuktu, Ghana, Mali, Sumanguru walked it [talking about the path], we came from afar

Mantse Tackie yi no - Chief (King) Tackie walked it

Osei Tutu yi no, Kwaa Mansa yi no, Yaa Asantewa yi no - Osei Tutu, etc, all walked it

Akwe le ake abaatsumo wohie yaafo ke latsa - They looked and said they would wipe the tears and sweat from our faces

Aketsumo wohie - They wiped it in our faces
Aamenyan fee - coming soon

Amekee minyen matu, amekee onyen otu, amekee wonyen wotumo - They said I couldn’t jump, they said you couldn’t jump, they said we couldn’t jump

Amekee wonyen wotumo, bui ni astastai kestimo wogbe - They said we couldn’t jump, (despite) the obstacles they have blocked our path with
Wokee wobaanye! - We said, we can!

Keje jen jeshi le Nunmo gbo wo - In the beginning of the world, Nunmo (God) created/fashioned us
Keje jen jeshi le Mawu gbo wo - In the beginning of the world, Mawu (God) created/fashioned us

Them say me no fi jump - They said I/you/we couldn't jump

Amekee wonyen wotumo, bui ni astastai kestimo wogbe - They said we couldn’t jump, (despite) the obstacles they have blocked our path with
Wokee wobaanye! - We said, we can!

This song is probably one of the most important ones to come out of Ghana since the 21st century began. It is definitely Nat Brew's biggest hit to date. When it came out, it was played soooo much, all over Ghana. It was maybe the first Ga song that achieved such fame, stayed on top of local charts for weeks and also got nominated for song of the year.

Basically, the song talks about the history of the Ghanaian people. Especially the Gas who migrated from various places to where they are now. Hence, Amandzeba says the people migrated from Israel to Egypt, Ethiopia to Sudan, etc. (It is believed)

The Ghana and Mali in there refer to the ancient Ghana and Mali empires, some Ghanaian tribes are believed to have migrated from there, Ghana was named Ghana by Kwame Nkrumah and his government because some Ghanaians had come from there.

Amandzeba mentions many heroes, Ayi Kushiman, Sumanguru, Naa Gbewa, Sundiata, Osei Tutu, Yaa Asantewaa, King Tackie, etc, how they fought oppressors and pays respect to the paths they walked. The rest of the song is self-explanatory.

Definitely one of my favorite songs ever!
