Ke sa ntsane ke hopola
Matsatsi a fitileng
Lerato la rona le sa ntsane le chesa
Re ile ra tshepisana ka dintho tse ngata
Tse lo reng kajeno re setla re di phetha

(Molato ke'ng)
(Molato ke'ng) Moratuwa

Ha eka kutlwano har'a rona ha e sa le teng
(Molato ke'ng)
(Molato ke'ng) Moratuwa
Ha eka kutlwano har'a rona ha e sa le teng

Phohlwa ka kutlwano
Ha se ntho e ntle
Ka hobane qetelong ho qhalana ha lapa
Jwale ha re kope ho Morena Modimo
Hore a matlafatse rato lena la rona

Ha eka kutlwano har'a rona ha e sa le teng

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Marumo's song Molato Ke Eng speak to the challenges and difficulties that arise in relationships. The first verse talks about the frustrations of being unable to resolve conflict, as the singer says "Ke sa ntsane ke hopola, Matsatsi a fitileng" (I am not at peace, days go by). The next line suggests that even though they love each other, their love is not enough to overcome their problems, as it "le sa ntsane le chesa" (doesn't calm us down). The verse concludes by saying they need to confront and address these issues in order to move forward, as they "re di phetha" (will break us down).

The second verse touches on the importance of unity and coming together, especially in difficult times. The singer says that even though some things may not be perfect, such as their living conditions, they need to work together and rely on God's help to overcome their challenges. "Ka hobane qetelong ho qhalana ha lapa, Jwale ha re kope ho Morena Modimo, Hore a matlafatse rato lena la rona" (Because in times of trouble in the house, we pray to the Lord God, so that he will bless our love).
