MADAMFOWA by Ellen White — Lyrics
About MADAMFOWA
"Madamfowa" is a joyful and deeply moving wedding song that celebrates the sacred bond of marriage. Sung in Twi, the lyrics are a heartfelt vow between spouses, acknowledging that God is the one who brought them together. The words carry a profound promise to love one another from the bottom of the heart, through good times and bad, in wealth and in poverty. It is a wonderful reflection of the vows exchanged at the altar, making it a perfect piece for the signing of the register or as a lively thanksgiving recessional.
Choirs love this piece for its warm, rhythmic flow and the genuine emotion it brings to a wedding Mass or celebration. The melody naturally invites gentle swaying and joyful smiles from the congregation. By urging the couple to live with a good heart and understanding ("yɛ mfa koma pa ntena"), the song acts as both a prayer and a piece of communal advice, wrapping the newlyweds in the love and support of their church family.
