| Fatshe leso lea halalela
|
| Fatshe leso lea halalela
|
| Nala:
|
| Shadowland
|
| The leaves have fallen
|
| This shadowed land
|
| This was our home
|
| The river’s dry
|
| The ground has broken
|
| So I must go Now I must go And where the journey may lead me Let your prayers be my guide
|
| I cannot stay here, my family
|
| But I’ll remember my pride
|
| Translation of Zulu: Nala:
|
| Prideland I have no choice
|
| My land I will find my way
|
| Tear-stained Lea halalela
|
| Dry land
|
| Take this Take this prayer
|
| With you What lies out there
|
| Fatshe leso Lea halalela
|
| And where the journey may lead you
|
| Let this prayer be your guide
|
| Though it may take you so far away
|
| Always remember your pride
|
| Chorus:
|
| Fatshe leso lea halalela
|
| Fatshe leso lea halalela Fatshe leso lea halalela
|
| Translation of Zulu:
|
| And where the journey may lead you
|
| Let this prayer be your guide
|
| Though it may take you so far away
|
| Always remember your pride
|
| And where the journey may lead you Giza buyabo, giza buyabo
|
| Let this prayer be your guide I will return, I will return
|
| Beso bo Though it may take you so far away Giza buyabo, I will return
|
| Always remember your pride Giza buyabo, oh giza buyabo
|
| Nala:
|
| Beso bo, my people, beso bo |
