[@kwameloukou3318]

It’s a farewell song to our first president Nana Felix Houphouët-Boigny. The ones he’s telling not to cry are the deceased’s family (especially women). Thank you😊😊

[@pierrehoimian4322]

This is a perfect translation. Meiway sang this song to console the family of The first president and Cote D'Ivoire at large.

[@nkoranzanorth6271]

The song was about cote d'ivoire 1st prez Felix Houphouet who die in 1993 Nana Faitai and Nana Adjuoa were the 2 sisters of the president who also double as a traditional chief. Nana Theresa was his wife and Kona Bedei was his successor as president

[@queenquayson]

I appreciate this!

[@abonsamfo]

The comment I was looking for

[@rholalbi8155]

Felix Houphouet Boigny was 🇨🇮ivory coast 1st president after slavery france Charles De gaulle gave him colonial power to murder all panafrican rivalry with france and took power from 1960 to his death 1993 he was from the Akan Ashanti Tribe side divided by colonial borders with ghana so we are ghana as well Meiway is Twi also same tribe different villages i am from Meiway side southern ivory coast Ex President is central ivory coast Bouaké where he built the italian like basillic catholic church biggest in Africa 🤦🏿‍♂️ betrayed ancestors in the worst way while building the country to economically depend on france

[@Tigresse653]

Just to testify that mammy Marie-Therese is in fact former president Houphouet Boigny widow.

[@zigibeat3689]

Akans of Ivory Coast are our families 🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭

[@ikeop982]

we are family...some people decided to divide us just for their gains.. Africa..we need to unite.

[@julzbuzz7243]

That’s so true. We’ll come home someday, to our homeland, the Ashanti kingdom headquartered in Kumasi, Ghana . That’s where we all generated from. ❤

[@chipulukatuta6411]

Woah!! I have seen people dance to this song at wedding. Meaning is important. Thank you so much.

[@bushidoxgamer]

The way I dance with this song, didn’t know it was this emotional. Thought some party song

[@queenquayson]

Hahaha

Thanks for taking this responsibility for translating these songs, I fully enjoy these African beat. All the way from Africa du Suid.(South Africa)

[@spackledude]

With this interpretation, i sincerely believe there should be no border between Ghana and Cote d'Ivoire, there shouldn't be any border anymore cos we are one people ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@husham351]

Exactly, the Nzema, Ahanta, Sefwi, Aowin share the same culture, they are part of the Akan group. Their languages are so similar that if you speak any of them, you can easily make meaning from the others. We are just one people.

[@ThereYouAreT1]

Macron will give more grant money and tell them not to remove the borders

[@mikeaa5235]

I understand he sang it to honour former Ivorian president Felix Houphouet Boigny. The Bedie in the song is Konan Bedie who succeeded Boigny.

[@GELOH10]

This song Errrr when I play it in ma Home theatre… I lock the door 🚪 and I have some secret dance I do .. I will dance it in my wedding day 😂😂😂..

[@bbenjamin5073]

This song hit home hard for me anytime I listen to it. One of my favourite songs of all time.

[@samtheresearcher]

It's amazing how the Nzema language varies from other Akan languages. The logic of the language is so familiar to those of us in the East. However, the departures are also so huge the two languages are very different. Hmm... Thanks to technology. Thanks to people like Queen Quayson for bridging the gaps.

[@queenquayson]

Always my pleasure

[@ebforson8492]

Queen is back!! I love this. Wɔ yɛ deɛ!!

[@queenquayson]

Aww happy birthday to you Ernest !!! Glad I finally did it for you , you were very persistent 😜🤣

[@ewaldkuupole2759]

Thank you so much. This is one my best song from Meiway and the message is powerful.

[@valdesmaximilienyapo888]

Je ne savais pas qu'il y avait des n'zima au Ghana. La côte d'ivoire 🇨🇮 et le Ghana 🇬🇭 c'est la famille

[@paulemmanueljosephdouhe9910]

Si il y a n'zema au Ghana ils sont à tiapoum et les n'zema de côte ivoire vont prendre leur chef au Ghana

[@arafatsapaka1216]

Oui. C’est vrai

[@julzbuzz7243]

Tous les Akans (j''en suis un) sont originaires du grand Ghana.

[@OppongAsante]

My guess was right about this song. I never understand the words. But I always feel It in my spirit this was the meaning especially two years ago when I lost my two uncles continuously leaving the only brother behind which is my father .I always feel it that they are with my father and he should not be afraid they are solidly behind him and take care of all the family. Wow.

[@queenquayson]

Wow that’s really sweet 🥹❤️

[@SundayOliseh-z1c]

I love your efforts keep it up. I'm patiently waiting for viola string

[@kouadiostephaneleonce3976]

I am Agni (Anyi) from Ivory Coast and your translation is good. Let me add some informations to your work. This song is a tribute to our first president Felix Houphouet Boigny after his death in 1993. Mamie Faitai and Mamie Djeneba are the sisters of our late president. Marie Thérèse (Mary Theresa in english) is the widow. Daoukro (it would be Daukrom in Ghana) is the town of the one who replaced Houphouet Boigny and his name is President Henri Konan Bédié (Henry Kwabena Bedie).

[@queenquayson]

I appreciate the insight 👌🏾

[@Zechariah38]

Don’t forget late meiway step brother “Deza xxl “who was also a legend in Ivory Coast .his song was also in nzema language. Orentchy also from Ivory Coast sings in nzema.

[@paultrs2]

Thank so much for doing this. I also speak a little Nzema, because I lived in Axim for sometime.

[@floodsshavit3928]

[@amyt9011]

The song is a farewell song to houphouet boigny . our first president. Mamy faitaiy and mamy Djeneba are his sisters . Marie therese is the former first lady. His wife. Henri konan bedie is the one who came after houphouet as the head of the country

[@gabanstv]

Great song by all standards

[@christianmbabazi9722]

Wait is this a funeral song? Listen😂 If that's the case they better replay this song on repeat at my funeral . If it's not a funeral song and I miss interpreted that it is still an amazing song

[@faasare]

Thank you very much. It would great if we could have the translation as text. This song is just special to many of us.

[@kontomylitis]

Queen, do you know if this song was sang in honor of former Ivorian president, Félix Houphouët-Boigny at the time he passed away?

[@queenquayson]

Yes yes I heard it was . It made me even emotional once I found out

[@ernestagyei8571]

Someone was saying same under the song's video on KZbin but Someone came and rubbish it

[@bbenjamin5073]

Yeah that's y it makes me sad anytime I listen to it. I didn't even understand the words but I felt it.

[@jonathanntow7649]

So its a dirge. How come we danced to song for parties and others. Thank you my dear.
