“Metsi ke ao,

Banna ba tla tshoha

3ha ho utlwahala

4Tsatsi le fihlile,

hobane Morena
o tla timetsa Bafilesita,
masalla a sehlekehleke sa Kafatore.
5Gasa e tla ba bofifing,

Ashekelone yona e tla ripitlwa.
Lona masalla a tjhaba sa Baanake,

le lle ho fihlela neng?
6Wena sabole ya Morena,

Boela selateng sa hao,

7E ka kgutsa jwang,
Morena a e neile taelo,
taelo ya ho futuhela Ashekelone,
ya ho futuhela naha
tse bopong la lewatle?
Ke hona moo Morena
a e laoletseng teng.”
