Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Onkise theresong
Tla omphe matla phokolong
Motlhabanedi tla
Mosupatsela tla
Ompuse timelong
Ke tlagoreta godimong
Mohlahli a bonang
Tsela mo lefsifsing
Moisa-batho-seeding
Kwa nna ke kgopelang
Tla omphe matla phokolong
Ke tla goreta godimong
In Joyous Celebration's "Moya o Mokgethwa," the lyrics speak about the Holy Spirit, the all-encompassing and all-powerful force that provides strength and guidance to those who seek it. The song begins by saying "Moya mokgethwa tla onkise theresong" which means "Hey Holy Spirit, come and touch us." The singer is asking for the Holy Spirit to come into their lives and help them along their journey. The next line says "Tla omphe matla phokolong" which means "give us strength to climb mountains." The singer is asking the Holy Spirit to give them strength to overcome any obstacle they may face in their life.
The song then continues to say "Mosupatsela tla ompuse timelong" which means "guide us on our journey." The singer is asking the Holy Spirit for guidance in their life, to show them the right path to take. They then ask the Holy Spirit to "ke tlagoreta godimong omphihlisitse kwa" which means "help me to speak the truth and be honest." The singer is asking for the Holy Spirit's assistance in being truthful in all aspects of their life.
The lyrics then mention "mohlahli a bonang tsela mo lefsifsing," which means "the leader who shows the way on this difficult path." The singer recognizes the Holy Spirit as a leader, one who can guide them through the difficult journey of life. The song then ends with the repeated line "Tla omphe matla phokolong ke tla goreta godimong" which means "give us strength to climb mountains, I will speak the truth."
