Kpɔ nye nublanui, O! Mawu,

Maka ɖe dziwò ne vɔvɔ̃ ɖom.

Ŋkeke blibo la wotrɔa gbo nye nyawo,

Ekema nye futɔwo atrɔ adzo, ne meyɔ wò be nàxɔ nam.
To esia me la, manya be Mawu nye tɔnye.

Mawu, ame si ƒe nya mekafu,
Yehowa ame si ƒe nya mekafu.
Mawu, ame si dzi meka ɖo; nyemavɔ̃ o.
Nu ka amegbetɔ ate ŋu awɔm?

O! Mawu, meɖe adzɔgbe na wò,

Elabena èɖem tso ku me,
eye nèna be nye afɔwo hã magaɖiɖi o,
ne mate ŋu azɔ le Mawu ŋkume
le agbagbeawo ƒe anyigba dzi.
