LYRICS
Lefatshe leno la borrarona
Re le abetswe ke Modimo
Kwa ntle ga tshololo ya madi
A re lebogeng, a re ipepleng
Lefatshe leno la borrarona
Re le abela matshelo a rona
Re tla le fufulelwa
Go fitlha sethitho se fetoga madi
Lefasthe la kgomo le mabele
Boswa jwa rona ka bosakhutleng
Ramasedi a ledibele
Re tshele mo go llona, ka pabalesego
Modimo tshegofatsa fatshe le
Go rene kagiso le kutlwano
Tshegofatsa Setshaba sa rona
Le yona puso ya rona
Go ntsha maungo a a tshedisang

ENGLISH TRANSLATION
This land of our Forefathers
It is given to us by God
Without shedding of blood
Let us give thanks, and rejoice
This land of our Forefathers
We pledge our lives to it
We shall labour for it
Till the sweat turns to blood
This land of cattle and corn
Our lasting heritage
May God safeguard it fittingly
That we may live in it safely
God bless our land
That peace and harmony may reign
God bless our Government and nation
That in good health we may
produce lifegiving fruits. |
