Group: Na we, na we! Lead: Who stand as one? Group: Na we, na we! Lead: Make the whole place hear! Group: We dey here, we dey here! [Chorus] Eh, we go praise am, hand for hand From Mankon reach every land Eh, we go praise am, heart to heart Grassfields people, never apart [Verse 2] Grandma tell the story, children learn the name Neighbours share the cooking, every pot the same From the market road, come with your good cheer If you get small, bring am; plenty love dey here [Call and Response] Lead: Who bring joy come? Group: Na we, na we! Lead: Who stand as one? Group: Na we, na we! Lead: Make the whole place hear! Group: We dey here, we dey here! [Chorus] Eh, we go praise am, hand for hand From Mankon reach every land Eh, we go praise am, heart to heart Grassfields people, never apart [Bridge] One voice start, then the valley answer Young and old, make the circle larger If my brother smile, my own heart glad This na the finest day we ever had [Final Chorus] Eh, we go praise am, hand for hand From Mankon reach every land Eh, we go praise am, heart to heart Grassfields people, never apart [Outro] Na we, na we, together we dey Bamenda people, celebrate today
