A brief variation of King Sekhukhune I's praise poem


Kgoši Sekhukhune I (Hlabirwa 'a Phaahla 'a Bauba)


Sekhukhune o re "ke mmamosela 'a Matuba, ke tsotsoboko o a tšhoša"! 

Bare mosela o hlehla le phoka lefokeng!
Ke tsotsoboko o a tšhoša, ke tsotsoboko mmanaka lephatleng!
Ba re naka la gago lana la palela mašole! Le šitile maburu ka lenareng.
Re etetša tšhitšhila 'a manyama!
Ke mmadira di se nago mosepelo

O re ka borwa re epolla dinkokoto!
O re ke epollotše nkokoto tawanakgolo sehloma ke tau ya Sekwati segafagafa selengwana.
Ba re tau ya Sekwati ke hlatša marega!
Selemo se tlago ke a gafagafa
O re kgatha 'a dikgomo ka kgetha nathamagana
Ke kgethile nama e botse lehlakori!
Ka ja lekako ka kuna mong wa mogopo, rakgadi Moshopjadi Lekgolane la ga Molefe.
