Chale, can we create highlife magic?
Yeah, wonim?
From Accra down to Kumasi town, the sound is calling
Palm-wine strings and horn horns singing, spirits falling
Old-school groove with modern twist, that's the mission
Ghanaian pride in every note, it's our tradition
Daddy Lumba, Kojo Antwi, they showed us the way
Now we rising up, chop life, living for today
The guitar weeping sweet, and the bass is deep
Highlife melody gonna make the whole nation leap, eii!
Can we create highlife magic? (Magic, magic!)
Yes, we can make it happen! (Happen, happen!)
From the soul to the rhythm, it's authentic
Highlife groove, chale, it's majestic
Stories in the melodies, wisdom in the sound
Every lyric carries weight, feet off the ground
Twi on the tongue, Akan in the flow
Highlife is the heartbeat, everybody know
From independence square to the village square
Highlife music floating everywhere in the air
Kelewele, jollof, kente wrapped tight
We're creating magic from morning to night, wonim!
Can we create highlife magic? (Magic, magic!)
Yes, we can make it happen! (Happen, happen!)
From the soul to the rhythm, it's authentic
Highlife groove, chale, it's majestic
Can we create highlife magic? (Magic, magic!)
Yes, we rising, yeah, we're dancing!
With the horns and the guitar playing
Highlife love, ah ah, it's here to stay, yoo!
Eii, the palm wine is flowing
Eii, the spirits are glowing
Highlife music, it never dies
It lives forever in our eyes
From generation to generation
It's the voice of our nation
Chop life, medasi, oyiwa!
Highlife magic, we create it all, all, all!
Mellow but mighty, smooth but so strong
Highlife rhythm been right all along
No gimmicks needed, just pure authentic sound
Ghanaian excellence, feet off the ground
The horn section crying, the guitar singing sweet
Highlife magic is our name, chale, our name!
Can we create highlife magic? (Magic, magic!)
Can we create highlife magic? (Magic, magic!)
Highlife magic, it's in our hands
From Accra to every corner of Ghana
Highlife forever, ei!
