Soft dusk settles over Accra’s old quarter. The streetlights blink awake like tired lanterns. From a narrow balcony above the market, a warm alto cuts through the evening hum — Ofori’s voice, honeyed and familiar, weaving a story about love that lingers beyond the last refrain.
Instrumental break — highlife guitar arpeggios ripple, trumpet sighs like distant horns from a trotro, maracas keep the heartbeat steady. The music breathes between the voices; the city listens. Ofori Amponsah ft. Kofi Nti - Atweetan
Verse 2 You braided morning into my empty cups, spoke the quiet into coffee, the fierce into my palms. There was a day I thought I lost the map to you — then your laughter folded the edges back. We danced on borrowed rooftops, gave the night a reason, traced a promise in the dust that only we could read. Soft dusk settles over Accra’s old quarter
Bridge (duet; harmonies swell) Kofi: I watched the seasons learn your face. Ofori: I learned to carry rain like a secret. Kofi: If roads lead away, they still remember the weight of two feet. Together: Come closer — let us make a harbor from our hands. There was a day I thought I lost
Pre-Chorus (Kofi Nti joins, a gentle counter) Say you remember how our shadows walked as one — two small kingdoms under the same lamp. If time is a trader, let it barter our regrets away; we keep what love gave us: a soft bone of truth.
Chorus (call-and-response) Atweetan — the word still falls from my chest, Atweetan — like prayer beads slipping through my hand. Hold me in the space between now and always, sing me home when the city forgets our names. (Atweetan… atweetan…)
