Lyrics

[Intro]  
Oh na-na, tsoha Afrika khanya!  
Chelete e tsamaya, re kopanya!  
Sweefin etella pele, shebella holimo,  
Moelelo wa Rena, ikutlwe ka pelo!

[Verse 1]  
Ho tloha motsaneng ho ea toropong,  
Re etsa mekgwa, bokamoso bo khanya.  
Khoebo e phalla, mamati a buleha,  
Re roba dikgohlano, ha ho tshitiso.  
Oh, ho tloha Accra ho ea Nairobi,  
Sweefin e etsa tsela ea katleho.  
Tshwara letsoho la ka, a re tsoheng,  
Re haha maruo naheng.

[Chorus]  
Oh-oh, chelete e tsamaya bakeng sa Afrika,  
Bina ho molodi, batho ba emele.  
Ho tswa ho ho kgetholla, re roba lerako,  
Matlafatso e phahamisa bohle.  
Oh-oh, tsoha o bine, ke matsohong a hao,  
Lentswe la Afrika, utlwa mmino.  
Sweefin moelelo, ho tlisa tshepo bosiu,  
Chelete e tsamaya, bokamoso bo khanya.

[Verse 2]  
Ha ho motho ya setseng, ha ho mofumahadi ya salang,  
Lefatshe le tla bona, re hlalosa botjha.  
Mefutahadi e phalla, mamati a buleha,  
Bofutsana bo felile, re etsa botjha.  
Oh mme, bososela, ngwana wa hao o tla hola,  
Sweefin peo, kotulo e tla bonahala.  
Chelete e tsamaya, oh leru le hlakile,  
Pina ya nala e hohle!

[Bridge]  
Utloe molodi, oh e ke e phalle,  
Ho tloha Cape Town ho ea Naila.  
Chelete e tsamaya mebileng yohle,  
Shebella molodi o phahamisa maoto a hao.  
Ditjhaba di tsoha, toro e phela,  
Matla a Sweefin a tla phela.  
Khoebo le tshepo naheng e nngwe le e nngwe,  
Mmoho re matla, re atolosa.

[Chorus]  
Oh-oh, chelete e tsamaya bakeng sa Afrika,  
Bina ho molodi, batho ba emele.  
Ho tswa ho ho kgetholla, re roba lerako,  
Matlafatso e phahamisa bohle.  
Oh-oh, tsoha o bine, ke matsohong a hao,  
Lentswe la Afrika, utlwa mmino.  
Sweefin moelelo, ho tlisa tshepo bosiu,  
Chelete e tsamaya, bokamoso bo khanya.

[Outro]  
Oh ee, tlohela chelete e phalle,  
Ka letsoho le leng le le leng, tlohele lerato le bonahale.  
Afrika e tsoha, oh e moholo,  
Mmoho re tsamaya, re tshwarelana ka matsoho.  
Na-na, na-na, bina bosiu,  
Chelete e tsamaya e phatsima.  
Moelelo wa Rena, tsela ya Sweefin,  
Hosane ho phatsima ho tloha kajeno!
