Heha hehaho

Joale ka ke tlile mona ke tlile ka lebaka la moshanyana Toitoi
Toitoi wa dinaha le dithaba mohlankana wa Morena Thulwe
Ke tlohile sehonghong ka maoto ho tlo fihla mona
E ka ba ke nnete
E ka ba ke nnete seo ke se utlwileng ka mosha ona Toitoi
E ka ba ke nnete
E ka ba ke nnete seo ke se utlwileng ka mosha ona Toitoi
Ke utlwa mangwel' aka a thothomela mmele wa ka wa hlasema
Pelo ya ka e le mpa e rotha madi
Heha hehaho
Heha (Heha hehaho)

Na ke nnete Dinoka ke moloi ke leshodu
Noha e kwenyang Khomo le motho

The opening lyrics "heha hehaho" repeat throughout the song and seem to serve as a sort of rhythmic chant, possibly representing the beating of drums or the sound of a dance. The verses explain the singer's journey to a place called Toitoi for reasons related to a young man, possibly a love interest. The singer describes driving through difficult terrain to get there and feeling tired and overwhelmed upon arrival. However, the singer insists that they are "real" and that their reasons for being there are equally so. The chorus repeats the same sentiment about being genuine and authentic. The bridge features more abstract and poetic lyrics about the singer's heart beating wildly and the presence of some kind of threatening force, possibly personified as Dinoka.
