Baholo, kea leboha
For all the things that you’ve done for me
Traditions , stories and the songs
Ke motho ka lona
Never will I forget my elders
Baabotsa le Maria , Basadi bagolo ba babedi
Ba nkgodisitse ka legato
Ba nthuta puo poko , dikoma , dikoša le maele
Ke le mosimanyana , kea ba leboga ke le monna tira
Wololo wololo,
Louisiana and Lesedi
Came from a foreign land , he didn’t have a plan, all he wanted was a second chance in life
Benoit St Elmo Defils, is the root of my mothers tree, When he made a Native American his wife
I was born to a creole mother , my father a Southern hustler.
Who was a master craftsman with his hands , he could bury as seed in the sand , and would grow at his very command
Cause he knew that God and Nature was a woman
Kea leboga
