So proud I stand
I stand up everyday;
Pronouncing lout who am I;
Telling people where am I from;
Without fear but with self confidence;
I stand before everyone;
Telling them whom I used to be;
Before yesterday and today.
I am proud to stand up;
And fry Masutsa;
Drink home made Amarura beer;
And drink home made Mageu;
I feel proud to tell people;
That I grew up in a poverty striven area;
Where I used to eat Dikodi and Matsankodi.
Even today where I am;
And tomorrow where I will be;
I will never leave my past back;
I will carry them with me where ever I go;
So proud I will always stand;
And pronounce who I am.
We were dancing a Masoboro dance;
Singing songs of Basemanyana;
Eating Mabilo and Mapara;
Drinking Borolo and Manapo;
So proud we stand;
And always we will;
Without any fear of intimidation.
Young Lions
You the juvenile lions;
Growl as tomorrow you will be in charge;
You immature lions of South Africa;
How will you bite tomorrow;
How will you slay tomorrow;
Because you are now divulging your teeth.
Get together juvenile lions;
Plan for your outlook;
Do not obliterate your nature;
By so doing;
You are also annihilating our motherland.
Grind your teeth;
Prepares your self for tomorrow;
Do not sit down and slumber;
And anticipate to constantly be awakened;
Tomorrow will be an extra day;
And no one will stimulate you;
You will be on your own.
Be sure of the foot you shift first;
Be sure sooner than making any move;
Because your foremost shift;
Determine your tomorrow;
Watch your footsteps everyday;
And you will live to see tomorrow.
You young lions of South Africa;
Go through all steps you are making;
Prepares for a wrestle;
Tomorrow y a wrestle is coming;
And you will have to face it.
With the look of my eyes;
You do not look ready;
If you do not prepares today;
And look back to what you did;
South Africa will lose tomorrow’s fight.
