Lyrics and translation Vusi Mahlasela - Basimanyana

Basimanyana

Basimanyana Basimanyana, Basimanyana, Basimanyana ba llela boroko
Be re bolaisa go disa
Rena re thuswa le ke bo nimadikepu

Sebaka sena se a thosa, se thotse, se a makatsa ha ke seba sithaba
Di kwahetswe ke mohudi kahohle

Tlong, tlong badisa, tlong re be mmoho
Bokellang makgomo
Basimanyana, Basimanyana, Basimanyana ba llela boroko (repeat)

Tlong, tlong badisa, tlong re be mmoho
Bokellang makgomo
Ka re thabantana tsosa thabo
Ha la ka la memella ntate moholo
Ha a re le se ke la thusa makgomo, tulong ena Basimanyana, Basimanyana, Basimanyana ba llela boroko (repeat)

Basimanyana

My dear, my love, my sweetheart, my darling, they are crying to go to bed
I was asked to come and help you
We help each other as cousins

This place is beautiful, amazing when the moon is full
It is surrounded by boulders all around

Please, please my love, let's be together
Let's gather the cattle
My dear, my love, my sweetheart, my darling are crying to go to bed (repeat)

Please, please my love, let's be together
Let's gather the cattle
Let's be happy together
Let's call for the elders
If they refuse to help the cattle, please help my dear, my love, my sweetheart, my darling are crying to go to bed (repeat)
