I was enchanted by this recording of this lullaby from Ghana. So I transcribed most of it here. You have to listen to it to get the pronunciation of it. But it's beautiful and worth the time, I think.
That same website says the translation is:
My love, my love
Mommy is not home
Daddy is not home
Oh! My little love, stop crying
Who hit you?
Was it Little Paul?
Spit it out so I can hit him back
Don’t cry, my love
My dear, stop crying
