My mother travelled to Pretoria 

to buy the license for the wedding day 

My mother travelled to Pretoria 

to buy the license for the wedding day 

Hey, Motswala, hey Motswala, hey, Motswala, hey Motswala 

My father wants to give the bride away 

but I think he's waiting for a dowry 

My father wants to give the bride away 

but I think he's waiting for a dowry 

Hey, Motswala, hey Motswala, hey Motswala, hey Motswala 

Now the time has come, I have to go; 

I wish perhaps I had not hurried so 

Now the time has come, I have to go; 

I wish perhaps I had not hurried so 

Hey, Motswala, hey Motswala, hey Motswala, hey Motswala
