The Warrior’s Homecoming
A Ghanaian Praise Poem Translated By K. Nketia
He is coming, he is coming,
Treading along on camel blanket in triumph.
Yes, stranger, we are bestirring ourselves.
Agyei the warrior is drunk,
The green mamba with fearful eyes.
Yes, Agyei the warrior,
He is treading along on camel blanket in triumph:
Make way for him.
He is coming, he is coming,
Treading along on sandals.
Yes, stranger, we are bestirring ourselves.
Adum Agyei is drunk,
The green mamba, Afaafa Adu.
Yes, Agyei the warrior,
He is treading along on camel blanket in triumph:
Make way for him.
