Ho phela

Bohloko bo phatloha, bo tebileng, bo phunyeletsa.

Methapo e otla le ho soahlamana.

Mofufutso oa phalla, o chesa ebile o bohale.

Mahlo a phatsimang ka moholi le moholi.

Li-silhouette li fetola libaka;

Metsamao e ya pele le morao.

Likhechana tsa litoro tsa khale lia fofa

Ho fihlela kajeno, mme o fete kapele.

=

Ebe mantsoe a pele a monate ...

Le mehato e sisinyehang

Apara ka bokhabane.

Ho phetse lilemo tse mashome a mabeli a metso e mehlano!

=

Ka thabo le tsietsi

Ke ithutile tsohle ho 'mè.

E ratwang haholo ke mme.

Ho feta kamoo mantsoe a ka buang kateng.

=

Mahlaba a sisinyeha 'me a sisinyeha.

Matsoho a maoto a thothomela.

Mahlaba a pelehi a qala.

Llang ka bohloko, le lle.

=

Bophelo bo bonyenyane bo neng bo le ka hare ho nna

E thabisa bophelo ba ka.

Ntlatse ka thabo le tšepo.

Ka ditoro tsa thabo le sebete

Hobane ke mme jwale...
