Oh-oh rise up Atyap!
Hear the Akuh drums feel the spirit of our land
From Mabarado the heart of Atyap land
We are Atyap!
In Atyap land where the hills echo our tales
Our roots run deep our history prevails
From farming the lands to the festive nights
Tyap our language our culture our pride
A joyous people on a rich land
Sing out Atyap let the world hear
Voices of peace in the air we hear
Strong and united we stand as one
Under the same sky under the same sun
Atio-Atyap lak lat!
Suddenly the bloody attacks began
The Aminyam took counsel
The Agba'at our warriors were ready
The Akuh woke up the gods
The Ashokwa tended the farms
Atyap land our inheritance
Must not be conquered
We preserved it for our children
Sing out Atyap let the world hear
Voices of peace in the air we hear
Strong and united we stand as one
Under the same sky under the same sun
Atio-Atyap lak lat!
Through the bloody struggles
Though some were maimed and killed
We stood our ground
For "Atio-Atyap lak lat"
In our heartbeats unity calls
From Zangon Kataf our spirit flows
In Tyap our wisdom forever grows
Victory at last
Oh Atyap with the drums we call
To the dance of victory and peace
Invite one and all
From the mountains high to the valleys low
Let our stories thrive let our children know
Atio
Atio-Atyap lak lat!
We speak of peace in every word
In every tale our voices heard
Hand in hand we mend the past
with every song our love will last
Atio-!
Atyap lak lat!
Atyap lak lat!
Atio-!
Atyap lak lat!
Atyap lak lat!
So let the drums roll let the flutes play
Atyap oh Atyap our pride every day
Our language our land our history
In peace we rise forever free
Atio-Atyap lak lat!
Atio-Atyap lak lat!
Atio-Atyap lak lat!
Oh-oh oh oh oh
Oh-oh oh oh oh
Hear the Akuh drums feel the spirit of our land
From Mabarado the heart of Atyap land
We are Atyap!
We are Atyap!
Atio-Atyap lak lat!
