Fatshe leso lea halalela
Shadowland
The leaves have fallen
This shadowed land
This was our home
The river's dry
The ground has broken
So, I must go
Now, I must go
And where the journey may lead me
Let your prayers be my guide
I cannot stay here, my family
But I'll remember my pride
(Pride lands)
I have no choice
(My lands)
I will find my way
(Tear-stained)
Lea halalela
(Dry lands)
(Take this)
Take this prayer
(With you)
What lies out there?
(Fatshe leso)
Lea halalela
And where the journey may lead you
Let this prayer be your guide
Though it may take you so far away
Always remember your pride
[Foreign content]
And where the journey may lead you
(And where the journey may lead me)
Let this prayer be your guide
([Incomprehensible] be my guide)
Though it may take you so far away
(Though it may take me so far away)
Always remember your pride
(I'll remember my pride)
And where the journey may lead you
(Giza buyabo, giza buyabo)
Let this prayer be your guide
(I will return, I will return, beso bo)
Though it may take you so far away
(Giza buyabo, I will return)
Always remember your pride
(Giza buyabo, oh, giza buyabo)
Beso bo, my people, beso bo
