Nna ke jan mautjana
Gele mathata re phela ka ona
Dikeledi tsa Rona Di phela Di rotha
Bana ba Rona ba robala ka tlala
Modimo re apole mathata
A ke jaje gore ke thome ke reng
Ga kena matla ga kena dijo kamo maleng
Ke rapela everyday Mara ake bone nothing
Mara le sure sure sure gore modimo oteng
Ere ke dime ke shebe ko pele
I know ba ba baya lentshwere ka pelo
La itse genka popa kole tshwara ko Pele
Ge lenrata ge lempona le mpulele tsela
Chorus
Gele mathata re phela ka ona
Dikeledi tsa Rona Di phela Di rotha
Bana ba Rona ba robala ka tlala
Modimo re re fokotse mathata X2
Verse
Mamazala I don't know wer you are
Wer ever you are, I just hope o monat
From time to time o cheke maphosti
Kea kgopela mamazala ake fosti
Im 34 and I'm unemployed
Ke zola ka crime a kena Di choice
I got two kids ba nyaka di boys
Babemama kgale alla o fedile le voice.
I remember kele hans kekana,
Ke betha hempe engwe ya go chencha colour
If le ong jola than le ong rata
Cause i was poor n kele maratha
Ke chabile kazi ke chaba Boloi
Ka chabela jozi ke chaba Di chomi
Ke vaile ka taxi ko bowa ka koloi
Ke tseye ntwana tsaka keba bethele pozi ZAKA..
Chorus
Gele mathata re phela ka ona
Dikeledi tsa Rona Di phela Di rotha
Bana ba Rona ba robala ka tlala
Modimo re re fokotse mathata X4
