Akua Tuta (English):
Be careful what you do Be careful what you do with the thing that has given to you
Be careful what you do Be careful what you do… the way you were raised
Be careful what you do Be careful what you do with the thing you protect
Be careful what you do Be careful what you do with the thing which has helped you
Take care of our land
Be careful what you do — the way you were raised
Take care of our grandfathers
Take care of our grandmothers too
Take care of your children and your brother and sister’s children too
