Lyrics & Translations
Chorus: | |
Fatshe leso lea halalela | This land of our ancestors is holy |
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 | |
Chorus: | 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 |
Chorus: | |
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 | |
