Listen to the akpwon (vocalist/chanter)! The third line can be tricky: omode ko ni co ibarago ago moyubara. A few of these words get strung together: Omode~kó~ní kosi~barago~ago~moyubara. The tempo is fast when singing it; remember when you slow down to practice, be sure you are not saying the full words, but continue to string it together.
