Nnang le tsholofelo

Letsatsi le tsholofelo lo tla goroga.

Ke na le tsholofelo gore lo tla goroga.

Nnang le tsholofelo,

Tsholofelo ke molemo,

Tsholofelo Ke botshelo,

Tsholofelo ga e tlhabise ditlhong.

Nnang le tsholofelo.

Ba ba lelang ba tla kgaotsa,

Ba ba lwalang ba tla fola,

Botlhokatiro ba tla ebona,

Kutlobotlhoko e tla feta.

Se sa feleng se a tlhola,

Nnang le tsholofelo.

Tselakgopo ga e latse nageng,

Tiang mo thapelong,

Go rene tshepo le tumelo,

Tse dintle di tsaya nako,

Bopelotelele senotlolo sa bokamoso,

Go fela pelo ga go busetse,

Nnang le tsholofelo.

Dikgwetlo tsa botshelo re tla di fenya,

Modimo o tla re araba,

Re tla bona phomolo,

Re kganya ka kgalalelo,

Nnang le tsholofelo.
