sun is shining
The children laughing, playing
Full of dreams to find
They all remind me
When I was a little boy
Full of life and pride
They look so peaceful
Moshanyana weso bo' itumele (::My brother, be happy::)
So sweet and graceful
Ngwana weso bo' ithabise (::My sister, celebrate::)
They're all so hopeful
Moshanyana weso bo' itumele (::My brother, be happy::)
And there is no need for crying
No need for fighting
(--::chorus::--)
It's time
Ithabise (::Celebrate::)
And this is meant to be your day
Shine
Ithabise (::Celebrate::)
And in your heart you'll know it's time
Ithabise (::Celebrate::)
For you take your place
Ithabise (::Celebrate::)
Somtimes I wonder
Why people always seem
To turn around
And lose their way
Look out your window
Be grateful for this day
And make a change
It's okay
To be peaceful
Moshanyana weso bo' itumele (::My brother, be happy::)
And to be hopeful
Ngwana weso bo' ithabise (::My sister, celebrate::)
It's sweet and graceful
Moshanyana weso bo' itmuele (::My brother, be happy::)
And there is no need for crying
No need for fighting
