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)
