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
 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

 [bad word] 

Tsatsi lahao    [Your day]
Lefihlile    [bad word] 
 Ithabise   [Celebrate]
 Ithabise   [Celebrate]
(Repeat)

 [bad word] 
Ithabise    [Celebrate]
