The lyrics to Pure Gold's song "O Lemenemene" are in Sesotho, a language spoken in Lesotho and South Africa. The main portion of the song repeats the phrase "O lemenemene" several times, followed by "o rekisa" and "mora motho," which roughly translate to "listen" and "one person." The last part of each verse says "madi a sena molato," which means "money needs truth."
The refrain of "O lemenemene" is directed towards Judas (Juda), urging him to listen. The phrase "o khopo Juda," which means "Judas betray," appears twice, further reinforcing that the song is about the betrayal of Jesus by Judas in the Bible. The mention of "o sehloho Juda," or "Judas, the thief," also alludes to the story of the betrayal. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus, urging Judas to listen.
The song is likely a cautionary tale about betrayal and the importance of honesty and truth. It also emphasizes the consequences of one's actions and the need for accountability.
