Kolo kolo kolo, Igbo Kwenu! Ya Kwenu!, Ya kwezuonuooooo yaaaaaaweh

Yam Festival, kola nut and palm wine abundance

A time for merriment, our culture shines through

Celebrating our heritage, forever we'll grow

Maka na Aka ajaaja na ebuta Onu nmanu nmanu.

In the land of the Igbo, where the yams are plenty

We gather to celebrate, our culture's bounty

Our people gathering from far and near

Let's thank God for the harvest, and the yams that appear

"Oji Eze di kwa Eze n' aka"

Yam Festival, Igbo Kwenu

A time for merriment, our culture shines through

Yam Festival, Igbo Kwenu

Celebrating our heritage, forever we'll grow

Maka na Aka ajaaja na ebuta Onu nmanu nmanu.

With drums and guitars, we'll play all night

Dancing to the rhythm, under the stars so bright

Kola nut and palm wine, we'll share with glee

Yam Festival, a time to unite, for you and me

Onye aghana nwanne ya, onye biaba okpoturu ibeya, ya

A time for merriment, our culture shines through

"Igbo kwenu, igbo kwenu, anyi bu ofu", gidi gidi bu ugwu Eze.

Let's sing and dance, and give thanks too

For the yams we harvest, and the culture we hold true

Yam Festival, a time to share

Our joy and love, with everyone, everywhere

Maka na nyitashie ifhe abugu onu nkafghe.

Kolo kolo kolo, Yam Festival, kola nut abundance

Let's celebrate, our culture's pride
