Lyrics and translation Maleh - Ke Mo Afrika

Ke Mo Afrika

Setso sa nneha, botho banna
Mpho ya pina, lentswe la fihla la ntokolla
Nchebe o nchebe, ke mo Afrika...
Hey hey ke mohale,

O tla ncheba, o nchebe o nchebele mahala
Ke lekaku, ke mo Afrika...
Hey hey ke mohale,
O tla ncheba, o nchebe o nchebele mahala

Ke lakatsa ho bua ka leleme la mme
Le ha lefatshe le nkamoha lona.
Ka le qoqela ditshomo le dipale
Tse tletseng ka thuto le bohlale

Tsa nthuta ho mamela melodi
Tsa nthuta ka matla le bofokodi.
Tsa nthuta mamello le tshwarelo
Tsa nthuta ka thato le hlompho

Setso sa nneha, botho banna
Mpho ya pina, lentswe la fihla la ntokolla
Nchebe o nchebe, ke mo Afrika...
Hey hey ke mohale,

O a rute mamello le tshwarello, o ba rute ka thuto le hlompho.

I'm From Africa

My heritage, our humanity
The gift of song, a voice that reaches and frees
Listen closely, I'm from Africa...
Hey hey, I'm a hero,

You'll listen, you'll listen, you'll listen freely
It's time, I'm from Africa...
Hey hey, I'm a hero,
You'll listen, you'll listen, you'll listen freely

I long to speak in my mother tongue
Even if the world rejects it.
I'll share stories and tales with you
Filled with wisdom and knowledge

They taught me to listen to melodies
They taught me about strength and weakness.
They taught me patience and forgiveness
They taught me about love and respect

My heritage, our humanity
The gift of song, a voice that reaches and frees
Listen closely, I'm from Africa...
Hey hey, I'm a hero,

You'll listen, you'll listen, you'll listen freely
It's time, I'm from Africa...
Hey hey, I'm a hero,
You'll listen, you'll listen, you'll listen freely

They said a black man is useless
They said a black man deserves no respect,
They suppress us, hiding our beauty,
They deceive us, we are not seen, the black man
Speak in your mother tongue, even if the world rejects it
You teach them patience and forgiveness, you teach them wisdom and respect.

My heritage, our humanity
The gift of song, a voice that reaches and frees
Listen closely, I'm from Africa...
Hey hey, I'm a hero,

You'll listen, you'll listen, you'll listen freely
It's time, I'm from Africa...
Hey hey, I'm a hero,
You'll listen, you'll listen, you'll listen freely

My heritage, our humanity
The gift of song, a voice that reaches and frees
Listen closely, I'm from Africa...
Hey hey, I'm a hero,

You'll listen, you'll listen, you'll listen freely
It's time, I'm from Africa...
Hey hey, I'm a hero,
You'll listen, you'll listen, you'll listen freely
