Lyrics

[Intro]
Oh na-na, tsoga, Afrika e phatsima!
Ditshwantsho di tsamaya, re kopana!
Sweefin e etelela, bona go tlhatloga,
Lefatshe la borwa, ikutlwe mowa!

[Verse 1]
Go simologa mo motseng go fitlha mo motseng,
Re a tsamaya, isagwe e kganya.
Kgwebo e a phalla, ditsela di bulega,
Re roba dikeetla, ga go tlhole go thibelwa.
Oh, go tswa Accra go fitlha Nairobi e phatsima,
Sweefin e bula tsela ya kgolo.
Tshwara seatla sa me, re tsoge, re eme,
Re aga lehumo mo lefatsheng.

[Chorus]
Oh-oh, ditshwantsho di tsamaya mo lefatsheng,
Tshameka mo modikweng, batho ba eme.
Go tswa thoko, re roba lobota,
Kgatelopele e tsholetsa botlhe.
Oh-oh, tsoga o tsamaye, ke mo diatleng tsa gago,
Lentswe la Afrika, utlwa mmino.
Sweefin mowa, o tlisa tsholofelo bosigo,
Ditshwantsho di tsamaya, isagwe e kganya.

[Verse 2]
Ga go na monna o latlhegileng, ga go na mofumahadi o setse,
Lefatshe le tla bona, re fetola.
Ditshwantsho tsa madi, bula kgoro,
Bofutsana bo fedile, re bopa sesha.
Oh mma, tshega, ngwana wa gago o tla gola,
Sweefin peo, a letlha le bontshe.
Ditshwantsho di tsamaya, legodimo le a phatsima,
Pina ya katlego gongwe le gongwe!

[Bridge]
Ikutlwe mmino, a o tsamaye,
Go tswa Cape Town go fitlha Nile.
Ditshwantsho di tsamaya mo mmileng mongwe le mongwe,
Bona mowa wa mmino o go tsholetsa.
Ditshaba di a tsoga, toro e a tshela,
Maatla a Sweefin a tla tswelela.
Kgwebo le tshepo mo lefatsheng lengwe le lengwe,
Mmogo re nonofile, re atolosa.

[Chorus]
Oh-oh, ditshwantsho di tsamaya mo lefatsheng,
Tshameka mo modikweng, batho ba eme.
Go tswa thoko, re roba lobota,
Kgatelopele e tsholetsa botlhe.
Oh-oh, tsoga o tsamaye, ke mo diatleng tsa gago,
Lentswe la Afrika, utlwa mmino.
Sweefin mowa, o tlisa tsholofelo bosigo,
Ditshwantsho di tsamaya, isagwe e kganya.

[Outro]
Oh ee, a madi a phalle,
Mo seatleng se sengwe le se sengwe, lerato le bonale.
Afrika e a tsoga, e kgolo,
Mmogo re tsamaya, re tshwaragane.
Na-na, na-na, tsamaya bosigo,
Ditshwantsho di phatsima ka mafatlha.
Lefatshe la borwa, tsela ya Sweefin,
Letsatsi la moso le phatsima go simologa!
