Theha tsebe o mamele,

Thola motsotswana o mphe

Motsotswana ke o sebele,

Nkadime ditsebe.

Nkadime ditsebe ke ntshe a pelo

Mabinabina dingongoreho,

Potso ikentse tlhobaboroko mehopolong

Yaka e hanella kgafetsakgafetsa,

Ho ka etsahalang ha tsatsi le ka tjhaba

Ha ra mpa bosiu?

Nkadime ditsebe.

Ha le ka tjhaba hara bosiu

Re ka bona ra utlwa dikate tsa lefatshe

Maphemphe ketjho tsona diaba,

Ho ka tswa diphokojwe ka hara makoko a dinku,

Dinokwane le bo ramabeta babolai ba ka

Sala poaneng ba ahlolwa

Fatshe la bolokeha,

Ha e le ho tsa marato teng e kaba thibang thibang

Re sala le monna mateneng,

Bobodu, bo menemene le boloi di ka senolwa

Nnete ya hlaka,toka ya phethahala

Ba molato ba ahlolwa,

Nkadime ditsebe.
