Twi Lullaby from the movie Sankofa by Haile Gerima-gctid31431

[Ɔbenfo Ọbádélé]

Ɔmfa no nkɔto abɛ ase, abɛ ase na nsɔe wɔ;
   Ɔmfa no nkɔto onyina ase, onyina bɛbu abɔ me ba;
   Hena hena ba ni?
   Me na Abena ba ni.
   
Should he/she place him/her under the palm tree, the palm tree is where thorns are;
Should he/she place him/her under the silk cotton tree, the silk cotton tree will break and hit my child;
Whose whose child is it?
It's my mother Abena's child.

[Okomfo Akosua]

My nephew was born this past Wednesday (Kwaku Maanu). He is in the NICU, the same as my son who was born 8 years ago, also a Kwaku.  For days, this song has been in my head and I've been trying to find it.  Meda ase paa, I knew I could find it here!

Are there any other resources with Twi lullabys (or lullabys in any other Kmtyw languages)?
