Once upon a time
In a land born along the coast
On the same stretch as the land named after the pond of salt
Where maidens treat you to the unique taste of exquisite Fante fante
And men hit their chest with pride
Pride born out of hardwork
As they sip from the belly of the palm tree beneath the night skies.
With sweet melodies from the indigenes of the night.
On such night was born the dream
Dream conceived by musings of a great soul
And nurtured by tireless efforts of great minds.
The dream to take the melodies of the night
To the fireside in the middle of land
Gathered around it were the old and young, strong and weak, rich and poor, royal and common.
With a clap, a shout, a nod, and a leap
We fired the spark into a wild fire
