Sun, why are you shining on this world
I am wanting to catch you in my hands
To squeeze you, until you cannot shine anymore
In that way, everything is always dark
Ke ngwana e sale ke tsewa ke lefifi
Ke ngwana phokojwe o ntsere go le lefifi
Dikgaga mo teng ke godile ke itse bofifi
Ke ganne Jeso a re o nkapesa ka lesedi
Ka gore ke rata lefifi
Motshegare ha letsatsi
Le tlhabile
Ke kgarakgatshega ke sa salwe morago ke moriti
Ka gore ke lefifi
Boididi jwa lefifi
Modimo o mpatla a hatahata a sa nkitse
A sirilwe ke lefifi
Bophirimatsatsi
Bone ke khurumeditse
Letsatsi ka lefifi
Tswala matlho
Pono ya matlho
Ke go e gapetse ka lefifi
Kwa tshimologong e rile Modimo
A kgaoganya lesedi le lefifi
Ke ha ke tlhagelela
Modimo go tswang fo a mpitsa
Bosigo
Bosigo ke lefifi ke bosigo
Ke lefifi ke legodu la lesedi
Motshegare ke alola letsatsi
Go tswa botlhabatsatsi
Go fitlhelela ke le fifaletsa ko bophirimatsatsi
Ke motlhotlheletsi wa ditiragalo bosigo tse di masisi
Moswi re tswalelwa mmogo mo teng ga lekesi
Ke lefifi mo dilong tsa loso ke morotloetsi
Ha mmolai a go tsoma o sa mmone
Ke mo apesitse purapura ya lefifi
Ga gona ope ko o ka ntshabelang teng
Le mo botengteng ba mmele wa gago ke teng
Le fa o tsamaya mo leineng la ga Jehofa
Lotlhe ka bobedi lefifi mo moweng le teng
Kwa tshimologong e rile Modimo
A kgaoganya lesedi le lefifi
Ke ha ke tlhagelela
Modimo go tswang fo a mpitsa
Bosigo
Bosigo ke lefifi ke bosigo
