(hey, hey, oya!)
Obokhian,
welcome to the ancient sound
From Benin City we are raising up the ground
Dance to the rhythm of the modern drum
This legacy has only just begun
Ise! We sing for the land of kings (ahhh)
Hear the beautiful melody it brings Dancing in the streets,
different tongues as one
Edo legacy, under the golden sun
Uwuosa, we keep the history alive
In every dialect, the story will survive
From the palace walls to the modern street
We merge the heritage with an upbeat beat
We speak Benin,
we speak the global tongue
(ooh-yeah) From the old wisdom to the young
Every language
joins the groove tonight
Ise! We sing for the land of kings (ahhh)
Hear the beautiful melody it brings Dancing in the streets,
different tongues as one
Edo legacy, under the golden sun
Legacy
lives forever (hey, hey,
Obokhian)
