Na wo deɛ wonpɛ me…

Tell me why… why me?

What did I do?

Mede me dɔ maa wo nyinaa,

Na wo deɛ wokɔmaa obi foforo.

{melodious highlife vocal} Da biara mehwɛ wo mfonini,

M’aniwa nsu gu me anim.

Meka sɛ “I love you”,

Wo deɛ wokae sɛ “We’re just friends.”

M’abrabɔ nyinaa mede maa wo,

Na wo deɛ woanni me so da.

{vocals building in harmony}

Wo serew no na ɛmaa me dɔɔ wo,

Wo nne no da so wɔ m’asom.

Every heartbeat calls your name,

But you never feel the same.

Nanso Nyame nko ara na ɔnim.

Na me deɛ mewɔ awerɛhow.

’Cause loving you is all I know,

Even when you let me go.

Sɛ wo werɛ fi me a,

Ɛnyɛ sɛ me werɛ befiri wo.

M’ayeyi nyinaa wode kɔe,

Na me gyaw me ne yaw.

Maybe one day you’ll remember…

The one who loved you for real…

But by then… It’ll be too late…

{solemn guitar solo} Ɛyɛ wo na mepɛ,

Na wo deɛ wonpɛ me… M’akoma rebu,

Mede me dɔ maa wo nyinaa,

Na wo deɛ wokɔmaa

Goodbye, my love…

Even if you never loved me back…

Hwɛ me koma no mmɔ mmoroso…

’Cause real love… never dies
