Nteseng Ke Itheteng

ke Motau šemane ya go ja di wela 
Ke Motau lesogana kgaah! Šateeh ka tsena 
Ke mopulana wa moswati 
Lesogana la go hloka nyatsi 

Tšešu ditaola ke rile go dirutwa ka tsena mong'waseloko ka yo tsoma 
Ba nswayile tsebe go kwa bonkgolo 
Bare "sa Mošemane a se go itaola "
Ke go tšwa lesolo a tšama tšwela babo mokgola

A ke tšwe mokhi ke nne, tšwa maruping a kgoši Sekwai 
Tlase tlase thabeng tša go kguma ka tswai
 
Bare go mpona ba ka sefokeng 
Ba opa magoswi bare "Thobela Morena!

Se mpone bosonyana wa nnyatša 
Sešu sereto ke serutile phatlalatša 
Ke serutilwe go jewa molatša ka dinawa tša maisimane a go tšwa mošola
Ruri ka nnete di ntšwetše mohola

Nteseng ke ithweše dipataka 
Ke di file ke yola Rakgolo pele mathomong bupi e sale lepotetšana.

Premium Member A Man With An Identity Lost To Memory

I once lost and forgot my entire memory.
I didn't possess any ID anywhere on me,
so I searched for, found and had a quick chat with a priest.
We then both decided to call the police.
Just a little something about yours truly that I'm sure you didn't know.
I was admitted into the local hospital's psych ward, as Patient: John Doe.

If there's more about the above that you would like to know,
the web address below is where you should go.
