# TUMBAYA *Toro e nngwe le e nngwe e swanetse motjeko.* **[INTRO — Meropa fela, Mpetla ka Menwana, Mmino o Monate wa Mosadi]** *(Dum… da-dum… clap!)* Hei, wena! Ee, wena! O na le toro ka sepache? O na le pina ka dieta? Tla le yona! *(Bass e thoma go kgwatha.)* Tum-tum… TUMBAYA! **[CHORUS — PHATLOLO YA AFRO-HOUSE]** Tum-tum, TUMBAYA! Hlakola lerole o tlole! Hey-ya, hey-ya, oh! Re dumele lefase le kgole! Tum-tum, TUMBAYA! Bolela ditoro ka motshegare! Mohato o mongwe o tšwa, Mehato e mebedi e tsena— TUMBAYA! A re thome monate! **[VERSE 1 — DIKETEKETE TSA AFROBEAT, KITARA YA HIGHLIFE]** Maabane pula e be e na Mo godimo ga ntlo e nyakago tlhokomelo. Sefihlolo e be e le teng mesong, Baagi ba kgobokana fao. Motho o tlisa mmino, Motho o tlisa borotho. Motho o na le kgopolo ye mpsha E sa tswago hlogong ya gagwe. Go na le mosadi ka setaleng, Le lesogana le ithuta mošomo. Ngwana o thala diphiri Mo tlaseng ga moriti. Ga go yo a tsebago se e tlang ka moso, Ga go na leano le phethegilego. Empa toro e nna leeto Ge re dira tše re ka di kgonang. **[PRE-CHORUS — DIKHWAERE TSA BASADI]** Ao, se emele diphetolo ka moka, Se emele letšatši le le phethegilego. Tšea sebaka se se lego kgauswi le wena, A re tume ka mmino. Ge o na le letšatši le le phadimago, Abelana le motho yo moswa. Go na le lefase la menyetla Ge go na le sekgoba sa gago le nna! **[CHORUS — AMAPIANO LOG-DRUM PHATLOLO]** Tum-tum, TUMBAYA! Hlakola lerole o tlole! Hey-ya, hey-ya, oh! Re dumele lefase le kgole! Tum-tum, TUMBAYA! Bolela ditoro ka motshegare! Mohato o mongwe o tšwa, Mehato e mebedi e tsena— TUMBAYA! A re thome monate! **[POST-CHORUS — MOŠITO WA MOTJEKO]** Tum! Tum! Hei! Hei! Tšwa ka ntle! Bea! Bea! Ba! Ba! Mpetla! Mpetla! Retologa! Tliša morago! TUMBAYA! **[VERSE 2 — MOSADI YO A ETELAGO PELE, BASS E PHETHILWE]** Go na le molemi ka puno, Go na le mošomi ka toro. Go na le moithuti a aga tsebo, Go na le moreki a hwetša dihlopha. Go tloga motsaneng go ya toropong, Go tloga thabeng go ya lebopong, Motho yo mongwe le yo mongwe o na le talente Le sebaka sa go ithuta go feta. Sweefin e kopanya batho le menyetla, E thusa dikgwebo go hwetša tsela. Ditsela tše mpsha tsa go boloka, go fetola, le go reka Di ka bula dikgetho ka mehla. Ge motho a hwetša tsela, A yo mongwe a e hwetše le yena. Go na le bokamoso bjo bo swanetšego go hlolwa Ka dilo tše re ka di dirago. **[PRE-CHORUS — DIKHWAERE DI A HLOGA]** Ao, se emele diphetolo ka moka, Se emele letšatši le le phethegilego. Tšea sebaka se se lego kgauswi le wena, A re tume ka mmino. Ge o na le letšatši le le phadimago, Abelana le motho yo moswa. Go na le lefase la menyetla Ge go na le sekgoba sa gago le nna! **[CHORUS — PHATLOLO YA MOTJEKO WA MOKETE]** Tum-tum, TUMBAYA! Hlakola lerole o tlole! Hey-ya, hey-ya, oh! Re dumele lefase le kgole! Tum-tum, TUMBAYA! Bolela ditoro ka motshegare! Mohato o mongwe o tšwa, Mehato e mebedi e tsena— TUMBAYA! A re thome monate! **[BRIDGE — PIYANO YA MEHLA, KHWAERE YA BANA]** **[VERSE]** Ge tsela e bonala e le boima, Ge o rwele mo go feta ba bangwe, A o hwetše botho bjo bonnyane Mafelong ao o nyakang kholofelo. Bophelo bjo bongwe le bjo bongwe bo swanetše seriti, Lentsu le lengwe le lengwe le swanetše koša. Gomme bokamoso bo tlatša kholofelo Ge re thušana re sepela mmogo. *(Mmino o fokotšega go modumo wa moropa o tee.)* **[SPOKEN BUILD — FEMALE LEAD]** Toro ka potleng ya gago... Koša ka maotong a gago... Le lefase ka moka le emetše... Gore o sutha! **[DANCE BREAK — CALL AND RESPONSE]** Lead: O na le toro? Crowd: Ee, re na le yona! Lead: Na o na le rhythm? Crowd: Nna le wena! Lead: Ke mang a ka tsenang? Crowd: Motho yo mongwe le yo mongwe! Lead: Bjale sutha mmele! *(Modumo wa diphaphatha o oketšega.)* Tum! Tum! Tshepe! Tshepe! Ba! Ba! Pšhatla! Pšhatla! Ee! Ee! Retologa! TUMBAYA! Kwa modumo woo! *(MASSIVE AMAPIANO BASS DROP)* **[INSTRUMENTAL DANCE BREAK — LOG DRUMS, HIGHLIFE GUITAR, FESTIVAL BRASS]** Tum-tum! TUMBAYA! Hei-ja, hei-ja, oh! *(Mokgahlo o opela godimo ga mmino.)* **[FINAL CHORUS — FULL FESTIVAL CHOIR]** Tum-tum, TUMBAYA! Phaphathla lerole o bine! Hei-ja, hei-ja, oh! Lefase ka moka le re, “Sepela!” Tum-tum, TUMBAYA! Dira ditoro tša gago letšatši! Kgato e tee ntle, Kgato tše pedi ka gare— TUMBAYA! A matšatši a mabotse a thome! **[OUTRO — WARM HIGHLIFE GUITAR, FADING CHOIR]** Ditoro tše dikete, Tsela tše dikete. Kgokagano e nyenyane ka mehla, Kholofelo e nyenyane ka letšatši. Sweefin e tliša ditsela tše mpsha go kgokagana, Go hlama, go fapanyetsana, le go gola. Tum-tum! TUMBAYA! Toro e nngwe le e nngwe e swanetše go bina. TUMBAYA! *(Modumo wa moropa wa mafelelo wa lethabo.)*
