Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Moswana o boletše botse go tlala seatla
A re hlwaiša tsebe
A re nyetlela ge boroko bo se na le se tseka
A ruma ka la gore
"Mona molomo o boletše, mona tsebe o tla ikwela"
Ra šitwa ke go phaela thoko ntšu la kgoši
Bana ba thari e ntsho ra tsoga borokong
Tsela ya re lebanyana patlelong la talente tša go nyeuma
Sa rena ya ba go ikgethela
Ya ba go itopela tša mmamoratwa
Serati re ikgethetšeng ga se lewe e le se se tala
Ga se phurwe se le bo thata boka leswika
Se hloka go letefatšwa
Se hloka go ba boka kgadika tša kolobe
Dikgong re ile ra tšhikatšhika
Ra thelega poto sebešong mabokgoni a rena
A hlatlegwa meši e ntše e re thuntšhetša
Tšohle di na le mathomo
Sa go hloka mathomo ke sehlola
Go phadima ga motho ke go se boife
Go thoma ga gagwe ke go se boife
Go ipeleša bohloko bo tlago le bokgoni bja gagwe
Kgobokgobo, motho ke go ikgobokoletša
Mphepu wa ipeleša, wa ja mphufutšwa wa phatla ya gagwe ka moso
Mathomo a bothomi ke mathomo a bokamoso bja go fahla
Ke mathomo a go buna 'hea la go nona
Mathomo a go rwala mokotlamobotse
Ke mathomo a go phela ka šebešebe diya maleng tša sobelela ka thelelo
