[sesa]"I went down one Saturday night just for a bottle of beer, (Dabi mepuee Memeneda anadwo sɛ meekɔpɛ nsa toa baako bi)
I met a lovely Cape Coast boy looking so nice and sweet.(Mihyiaa aberanteɛ kamakama bi wɔ Cape Coast)
He stepped into a taxi cab heading straight for me, (Ɔfaa kar de bɛfaa me)
We went to a busy nightclub and he asked for a table for two,( Yɛkɔɔ 'night club' na ɔgyee pono a yɛn mmienu pɛ betena ho)
We went to a private salon and he asked for a gin and lime,
I searched into my breast pocket nothing was left for me,(Mehwɛɛ me botom na hwee nnim )
He wants to know my name, he wishes to know my name,' (Ɔpɛ sɛ ohu me din, ɛbɛyɛ no dɛ sɛ obehu me din)
If I died of a man`s love I am nothing but a man`s slave."[1] ( Sɛ miwu wɔ ɔbarima dɔ ho a, mennyɛ hwee sɛ ɔbarima akoa)
