Lyrics

[Intro]  
Oh na-na, tsoga, Afrika kganya!  
Dithoto di ya tsamaea, re kopane!  
Sweefin e etapele, lebelang kgolo,  
Mmabotse o bina, utlwa modumo!

[Verse 1]  
Go tloga motseng go ya toropong,  
Re dira diphetogo, bokamoso bo kganya.  
Kgwebo e a phalla, ditsela di bulega,  
Re roba ditlemo, ga go na meedi.  
Oh, go tloga Accra go ya Nairobi kganya,  
Sweefin e bula tsela ya kgolo.  
Tshwara letsogo la ka, a re tsogeng,  
Re aga lehumo mo lefatsheng.

[Chorus]  
Oh-oh, dithoto di ya tsamaea mo mmabotse,  
Bina ka lebelo, batho ba eme.  
Go tloga thibelong, re roba lerako,  
Matlafatso e phahamisa bohle.  
Oh-oh, tsoga o bine, ke mo diatleng tsa gago,  
Lentswe la Afrika, utlwa dihlopha.  
Sweefin modumo, e tlisa tsholofelo boshego,  
Dithoto di ya tsamaea, bokamoso bo kganya.

[Verse 2]  
Ga go monna yo a salang, ga go mofumahadi yo a salang morago,  
Lefase le tla bona, re fetola.  
Phallo ya ditšhelete, re bula kgoro,  
Bohloki bo a fela, re bopa sesha.  
Oh mma, tshega, ngwana wa gago o tla gola,  
Sweefin peo, kotulo e tla bonala.  
Dithoto di ya tsamaea, legodimo le a hlweka,  
Koša ya katlego mo gongwe le gongwe!

[Bridge]  
Utlwa modumo, oh o tsamaye,  
Go tloga Cape Town go ya Nile.  
Dithoto di ya tsamaea mo mmileng o mongwe le o mongwe,  
Lebelo le go phahamisa maoto a gago.  
Ditšhaba di tsoga, toro e a phela,  
Matla a Sweefin a tla phela.  
Kgwebo le tshepo mo lefatsheng lohle,  
Mmoho re tiile, re a gola.

[Chorus]  
Oh-oh, dithoto di ya tsamaea mo mmabotse,  
Bina ka lebelo, batho ba eme.  
Go tloga thibelong, re roba lerako,  
Matlafatso e phahamisa bohle.  
Oh-oh, tsoga o bine, ke mo diatleng tsa gago,  
Lentswe la Afrika, utlwa dihlopha.  
Sweefin modumo, e tlisa tsholofelo boshego,  
Dithoto di ya tsamaea, bokamoso bo kganya.

[Outro]  
Oh ee, a re dire dithoto di phalle,  
Mo seatleng se sengwe le se sengwe, lerato le bonale.  
Afrika e a tsoga, e kgolo ka tsela,  
Mmoho re tsamaya, seatla ka seatla.  
Na-na, na-na, bina boshego,  
Dithoto di phadima ka bokamoso.  
Mmabotse o bina, tsela ya Sweefin,  
Letsatsi la bosasa le phadima go tloga gompieno!
