[Chorus:]
Fatshe leso lea halalela
Fatshe leso lea halalela
[Nala:]
Shadowland
The leaves have fallen
This shadowed land
This was our home
The river's dry
The ground has broken
So I must go
Now I must go
And where the journey may lead me
Let your prayers be my guide
I cannot stay here, my family
But I'll remember my pride
[Nala and Choir:]
Prideland
I have no choice
My land
I will find my way
Tear-stained
Lea halalela
Dry land
Take this
Take this prayer
With you
What lies out there
Fatshe leso lea halalela
[Choir:]
And where the journey may lead you
Let this prayer be your guide
Though it may take you so far away
Always remember your pride
Fatshe leso lea halalela
Fatshe leso lea halalela
Fatshe leso lea halalela
And where the journey may lead you
Let this prayer be your guide
Though it may take you so far away
Always remember your pride
[Nala and Choir:]
Giza buyabo, giza buyabo
I will return, I will return
Beso bo
Giza buyabo, I will return
Giza buyabo, oh giza buyabo
[Nala:]
Beso bo, my people, beso bo
