Lyrics[]
Lebo M:
Oh mta ka mama wam. Oh, my mother's child.
Oh mfo wethu. Oh, my dear brother.
Ndi ya ku khumbula mna. I miss you.
(La la, la la.)
Oh mta ka mama wam.
Oh mfo wethu.
Ndi ya ku khalela mna.
Motswalle waka. My dear friend.
Ngwana mme. My mother's child.
Ndiyani khumbula. I miss you.
La la kahle. Farewell.
Motswalle waka.
Ngwana mme.
Ndiyani khumbula.
La la kahle.
Chorus:
We sangoma ngi velelwe. Oh, spiritual healer, I'm troubled.
We baba ngivelelwe. Oh, my father, I'm in pain.
We baba ngivelelwe.
We sangoma ngi velelwe.
We baba ngivelelwe.
We baba ngivelelwe.
Lebo M:
Oh mta ka mama wam.
Oh mfo wethu.

Motswalle waka.
Ngwana mme.
Ndiyani khumbula.
La la kahle.

We baba ngivelelwe.
We sangoma ngi velelwe.
We baba ngivelelwe.
We baba ngivelelwe.
