Benin Beat Revamp

(olee, olee-o)

Ize-iyore,

I am moving forward

Edo

State

where the kings are born

Let the heritage

carry the sound

From the ancient walls to the modern town

Obokhian, we welcome the rhythm

Edo gbe!

Dance to the rhythm Let the drums tell the story tonight

(eh-ya,

eh-ya)

Ancestral beauty

in the bronze and gold

A majestic tale that is forever told

We mix the old

with the brand new beat

Feel the heat running down

to your feet

Edo gbe, Benin

heritage (oh-ooh-wah)

Obokhian, we welcome the rhythm

Edo gbe!

Dance to the rhythm Let the drums tell the story tonight

(eh-ya, eh-ya)

Edo State,

the heart of the sound

(olee, olee-o)
