Lenaga

E rile letsatsi le tlhaba ka akola,

Ka gasagasa matlho a me le lenaga,
Ka bona masu, marula le Makala,
Mokoba, motlhware le mmolayanoga,
Tlhare tse dikgolo makgabisa naga,
Bommameriti di bothelang dinare, Di
bothelang le ditshedi tsa matlhare.

Lenaga kana le lentle letlhafula,

Le lentle thata fa pula di tsora,
Bojang bo le botala, kgomo di fula,
Phologolo tsa naga tsotlhe di kgora,
Di sotse, di tseketlela ka mafura,
Lefatshe le kgabile ka botalana,
Le metsi a elelaelelaka mekgatšhana

Noka di ikgarakgara ka ditlhatshana,

Molatšwana o kadimoga jaaka noga, Jaaka
selefera gareng ga botalana.
Lonko lwa dithunya lo nkgisa lenaga,
Lo fokega fa ‘tlhare di tsebeetsega, Go
oka notshe le go oka serurubele,
Difofanyane di fofela fofele.

Godimo ga mosu go utlwala melodi,

Kgolotšhwane kgolo puo ya dinonyane,
Thaga yone e itata sebelafadi,
Fa bontsi bo kuelela lekolwanyane,
Lekawana la diphuka, makgoane, E
reng dinonyane di mmona di kue,
Di supa fa ruri tota a sa ratiwe.

Lenaga, tsala, ke buka ya Modimo,

Bojang le setlhare ditlhaka tsa lona,
Setshwantsho ke ntsu le losika lwa kgomo
Matsetseleko go lone re a a bona, Le
