From Menji down to Fontem,
The drums are shaking the mountains,
From Alou straight to Wabane,
Everybody dancing nonstop!

Kings stepping with tradition,
When the xylophone starts playing,
Even elders start to dance!
Nweh people full of energy,
Culture sweeter than honey,
When the dancers hit the center,
The whole crowd goes crazy!
