# TUMBAYA *Toro e nngwe le e nngwe e batla motjeko.* **[INTRO — Meropa fela, Mekgwatlha, Lentswe la Mosadi le Motlae]** *(Dum… da-dum… clap!)* Hee wena! Ee, wena! O na le toro mo sepokising? O na le pina mo ditlhakong? Tlaa le yona! *(Bass e simolola go bina.)* Tum-tum… TUMBAYA! **[CHORUS — THULAGANYO YA AFRO-HOUSE E PHATLA]** Tum-tum, TUMBAYA! Tshikinya lorole o itekole! Hey-ya, hey-ya, oh! A lefatshe lotlhe le bue, “Tsamaya!” Tum-tum, TUMBAYA! Tlhagisa ditoro mo motshegareng! Kgato e le nngwe kwa ntle, Dikgato tse pedi kwa teng— TUMBAYA! A monate o simolole! **[VERSE 1 — TSHOLOFETSANG AFROBEATS, KITARA YA HIGHLIFE]** Bosigo jeno pula e ne e kgatlhana Mo borulelong bo tlhokang tlhokomelo. Mo mosong go na le motshegare, Baagisanyi ba phuthega koo. Mongwe o tlisa mmino o monnye, Mongwe o tlisa borotho jwa letsatsi. Mongwe o tlisa mogopolo o mosha O o sa tlogang mo tlhogong. Go na le mosadi wa mo mmarakeng, Mosimane yo o ithutang kgwebo. Ngwana yo o thalang diphapatso Mo tseleng fa tlase ga moriti. Ga go ope yo itseng se se tlang kamoso, Ga go ope yo nang le leano le le itekanetseng. Mme toro e nna leeto Fa re dira dilo tse re kgonang. **[PRE-CHORUS — DIPHETHO TSA BOMME DI TSWELELA]** Oh, se emele dikarabo tsotlhe, Se emele letsatsi le le itekanetseng. Tsaya sebaka se se fa pele ga gago, A mmino o go etele pele. Fa o na le letsatsi le le monate, Abelana le mongwe yo mosha. Go na le lefatshe le le nang le diphitlhego Fa re na le sebaka sa rona rotlhe! **[CHORUS — PHATLA YA AMAPIANO YA LOG-DRUM]** Tum-tum, TUMBAYA! Tshikinya lorole o itekole! Hey-ya, hey-ya, oh! A lefatshe lotlhe le bue, “Tsamaya!” Tum-tum, TUMBAYA! Tlhagisa ditoro mo motshegareng! Kgato e le nngwe kwa ntle, Dikgato tse pedi kwa teng— TUMBAYA! A monate o simolole! **[POST-CHORUS — MOKGOPO YA MOTJEKO O O TSWANG]** Tum! Tum! Hee! Hee! Tswa kwa ntle! Fapoga! Fapoga! Ba! Ba! Kgwatlha! Kgwatlha! Retologa! Tlaa le yona! TUMBAYA! **[VERSE 2 — MOSADI YO O ETELANG, BASS E E ROLLANG]** Go na le molemi le thobo, Go na le mmopi le toro. Go na le moithuti yo o agang kitso, Go na le moitsheki yo o bonang ditlhopha. Go simolola mo motsaneng go ya mo toropong, Go tswa mo thabeng go ya mo lebopong, Motho mongwe le mongwe o na le talente Le sebaka sa go fitlhela go feta. Sweefin e kopanya batho le diphihlelo, E thusa dikgwebo go fitlhela tseleng. Ditsela tse disha tsa go boloka, go fetola, le go rekisa Di ka bula ditlhopho letsatsi le letsatsi. Mme fa mongwe a fitlhela tsela, A mongwe a fitlhele e nngwe le ene. Go na le bokamoso jo bo tshwanetseng go agiwa Ka dilo tse re ka di dirang. **[PRE-CHORUS — KWAOLO YA KOLOBELO]** Oh, se emele dikarabo tsotlhe, Se emele letsatsi le le itekanetseng. Tsaya sebaka se se fa pele ga gago, A mmino o go etele pele. Fa o na le letsatsi le le monate, Abelana le mongwe yo mosha. Go na le lefatshe le le nang le diphitlhego Fa re na le sebaka sa rona rotlhe! **[CHORUS — PHATLA YA MOTJEKO WA MOLELO]** Tum-tum, TUMBAYA! Tshikinya lorole o itekole! Hey-ya, hey-ya, oh! A lefatshe lotlhe le bue, “Tsamaya!” Tum-tum, TUMBAYA! Tlhagisa ditoro mo motshegareng! Kgato e le nngwe kwa ntle, Dikgato tse pedi kwa teng— TUMBAYA! A monate o simolole! **[BRIDGE — PIANO YA MAITSEBO, KOLOBELO YA BANA]** **[VERSE]** Fa tsela e utlwile bokete, Fa o rwele go feta bontsi jwa rona, A o bone kutlwelobotlhoko, Kwa o tlhokang tsholofelo. Botshelo bongwe le bongwe bo na le seriti, Lentswe lengwe le lengwe le tshwanelwa ke pina. Le isagwe e nna le tsholofelo, Fa re thusana mo tseleng. *(Mmino o khutla go nna legopotsane le le lengwe.)* **[SPOKEN BUILD — FEMALE LEAD]** Toro mo lepokising… Pina mo ditlhakeng tsa gago… Le lefatshe lotlhe le le letetse… Go tsamaya! **[DANCE BREAK — CALL AND RESPONSE]** Lead: O na le toro? Crowd: Ee, re na le yone! Lead: O na le modumo? Crowd: Nna le wena! Lead: Ke mang yo o ka tsenang? Crowd: Mongwe le mongwe! Lead: Jaanong tsamaisa mmele! *(Dipitsi di a oketsega.)* Tum! Tum! Tsamaea!

A lefatshe lotlhe le re, “Tsamaya!” Tum-tum, TUMBAYA! Tlisang ditoro mo motshegareng! Kgato nngwe kwa ntle, Dikgato tse pedi mo teng— TUMBAYA! A dinako tse di monate di simologe! **[OUTRO — WARM HIGHLIFE GUITAR, FADING CHOIR]** Ditoro tse di sekete tse di farologanyeng, Ditsela tse di sekete tse di farologanyeng. Kgokagano e nnye e oketsega, Tsholofelo e nnye e oketsega letsatsi le letsatsi. Sweefin e tlisa ditsela tse disha go kopana, Go tlhama, go fapanyetsana, le go gola. Tum-tum! TUMBAYA! Toro nngwe le nngwe e tshwanelwa ke motshameko. TUMBAYA! *(Final celebratory drum hit.)*
