Long
ago,
it
was
just
a
small
place,
Old
women
sat
with
akima
and
imare,
Under
the
tree
with
little
to
sell,
But
with
big
hearts
and
stories
to
tell.
They
started
Amakio
with
hands
so
strong,
Singing
and
trading
the
whole
day
long,
Little
did
they
know
their
seed
would
grow,
Into
a
town
that
all
now
know!
Amakio
Oyee!
Amakio
Oyee!
Trading
centre
growing
every
day!
Amakio
Oyee!
Amakio
Oyee!
We
shine
so
bright,
we
lead
the
way! (
Ad-lib:
Naye!)
From
the
boda-boda
roar
in
the
morning
sun,
To
the
market
bustle
until
the
day
is
done,
Every
stall
is
buzzing,
the
money
is
flowing,
Amakio’
s
heartbeat,
keeps
on
growing!
We
represent
the
pride
of
the
Pearl,
Watch
our
trading
power
shake
up
the
world,
From
the
small
trade
to
the
big
supply,
Our
spirit
is
soaring
up
to
the
sky!
Amakio

We

Mujje!)
Feel
the
rhythm
of
the
trading
floor,
We
knocking
down
every
single
door,
Ssebo,
nnyabo,
join
the
parade,
Celebrate
the
history
that
we
made!

top
of
the

adungu
and
drums)
