(Kpanlogo drum rolling, palmwine guitar intro)
Eiii, chale!
This one is for the great one.
Dada Quaicoo, yɛda wo ase papa!
Agya pa!
You hold the family with a strong hand
Firm and fair, the best in the land
You didn't just care for your own blood
You opened your door, a river of love
You work all day under the hot sun
Making sure the kids' future has begun
A God-fearing man, walking in grace
Bringing light and peace to this place
Oh Dada, Dada Quaicoo, we thank you!
Ɔyɛ agya pa, we praise you!
For the sacrifice and the love so deep
The promises you always keep
Dada Quaicoo, ɛyɛ! You are our king!
Hear the song your children sing!
No matter the storm, you stand so tall
You never let any of us fall
You show us the way, you teach us to pray
Your wisdom guides us day by day
Chale, this man is a solid rock
Leader of the home, shepherd of the flock
We see the gold in your gentle heart
Right from the very start
Oh Dada, Dada Quaicoo, we thank you!
Ɔyɛ agya pa, we praise you!
For the sacrifice and the love so deep
The promises you always keep
Dada Quaicoo, ɛyɛ! You are our king!
Hear the song your children sing!
Dada Quaicoo, God bless you.
Yɛdaase, yɛdaase papa.
Medaase.
