Truly, something will happen to me
O swanetse go wela: It must settle down
Re khutse: So that we may rest
Re tlogele go emisa: We should stop resisting
Re tla tsewa: We will be taken away
Go fediswe: To be brought to an end
Ba re ke hlokofetse: They say I have passed away
Ke seke ka ineela: Lest I give up
Ruri ke lahlegetswe: Truly, I have lost everything
Ke lakatsa go nyaka: I desire to search
Ke tla gana: I will refuse
Ke tla raka: I will drive away
Ke tla thibela: I will block
Ke eme: I stand
