Lyrics[]
Lionesses:
- Fatshe leso lea halalela [The land of our ancestors is holy]
- Fatshe leso lea halalela
Nala:
- Shadowland
- The leaves have fallen
- This shadowed land
- This was our home
- The river's dry
- The ground has broken
- So I must go
- Now I must go
- And where the journey may lead me
- Let your prayers be my guide
- I cannot stay here, my family
- But I'll remember my pride
Lionesses / Nala:
- Prideland / I have no choice
- My land / I will find my way
- Tear-stained / Lea halalela
- Dry land
- Take this / Take this prayer
- With you / What lies out there
- Fatshe leso / Lea halalela
Lionesses:
- And where the journey may lead you
- Let this prayer be your guide
- Though it may take you so far away
- Always remember your pride
- Fatshe leso lea halalela
- Fatshe leso lea halalela
- And where the journey may lead you
- Let this prayer be your guide
- Though it may take you so far away
- Always remember your pride
Lionesses / Nala:
- And where the journey may lead you / Giza buyabo, giza buyabo
- Let this prayer be your guide / I will return, I will return
- Beso bo
- Though it may take you so far away / Giza buyabo, I will return
- Always remember your pride / Giza buyabo, oh giza buyabo
Nala:
- Beso bo, my people, beso bo
