Ayiko

A mila woe lo?
Mila woe a!
A mila woe lo?
Mila woe a!

VERSE
There’s a fishing village in Togo, West Africa
Where the men are pulling their nets in from the sea
And the people watching all along the shore
Shout “Ayiko, Ayiko”, pull together everyone

CHORUS
Ayiko, Ayiko, Ayiko, ya, yea (4x)

VERSE
In this world of people with many different dreams
We must pull for each other like players on one team

CHORUS

BRIDGE
A mila woe lo? Mila woe a!
Ke mi va mi kata mi popu ne miawo, (ah!) Tsoboue!
Hey, ya-ya!
Tsoboue! Tsoboue!
Hey, ya-ya!
Tsoboue!
Hey, ya-ya! Dom pede, dom pede dom HOH!

CHORUS

Keep on pullin’, let’s pull together, keep on pullin’, oh, oh
Ayiko, Ayiko, Ayiko, ya, yeah!
