Ayee aoo

Lefatshe bophara lefatshe phalla

Bobega dikgang bo a opela

Pina ke eo matlhogo putswaa

Pina ke eo matlhogo tshweu wee

Ka motwenyane e tlhagile boseja

Ka ko boseja ga mawatle

E tla e raletse le naga

Le naga la etsho la Aferika

E tla e bifetse bo le bala ntsho

E tla e tsisitse bontsho

E tla e bifile e nyeletsa

E re kgaoganyaa le masika

Will you care for me, care for me?

When nobody will see me?

Will you care for me, care for me?

When nobody will see me?

Will you cover me gently?

Let me sleep in your house tonight

You know, you know, you know

By the depth of the well

And the trunk of the tree

That's where I waited

So that you could come for me, comfort me

'Cause I needed to talk, you just walked

But what's so wrong about it?

My fam done kicked me out

Society, I'm torn about it

And you talk to me

Like you know where I've been

Talkin' 'bout, "That's real life,"

I'm talkin' real dear, so what we talkin' 'bout?

I can't inhale the air in the world, polluted with ignorance

These lungs don't wanna read no more

That's all I'm able to talk about

If these my last words

I would sing this

And if I have to go

Play this at my funeral

So I'ma let the music play for every day that you're afraid

We all cry but your tears ain't the same, I can see that

Now we can't kill what is hard, ill and vicious

But improve these statistics, enlighten our existence

Believe that
