The 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
 [bad word] 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

Sometimes 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' itumele. My brother, be happy.
And there is no need for crying
No need for fighting
