madihlare christobeth molapo Poems

Ngwana'mopedi matutu ke nkga diema
mekgatho ke antše kgatswetši ya dithai
ke ngwana'bo dika dikgabišapolelo
kgaetšedi ya dikapolelo matšoba a semmaešu
...

O mokgonyana wa dithakga, le mašaedi o kgobokeditše,

Wena mmetli mmetla le ya merupa megopolo,
...

Ke ngangabaditše molala ke a gopola,
Ka gana ya mathumaša nnang,
Ke ila go lebelela ditlalemasa
E le ge ke ikgwerantše le swele le megabaru.
...

Le reng le re bona re ithweša ka letolo la sa re amogetše?
Le reng le re tlogela re iphahla ka diphego leboelela?
Le reng la bona re wela leopeng la re ke sebjalebjale?
Le reng le re tlogela re kgopediša le tša phaku?
...

Mereba ya gago ga e na tshwantšhanyo,
Swele yona le botloutona ba e rolela mongatse,
Poifo ga se segageno ke a go rerešetša,
Ka difokeng o tsena o sa tamiše metseta,
...

In the cold winter night,
I shall borrow you my jacket.
And I shall shiver internally
Coz for you, my strength stands always
...

Let no voice speak louder than this heart,
And no message be sent clearer than this tone
For in me, is were lives the loving heart,
Were yours can always be enriched with love.
...

Forever will be the end of us.
For we shall never go apart.
No matter what the pain it cost.
We will be joint to death.
...

Before our eyes you are a diamond.
A shooting star that shines forever
A bundle that was never heavy to carry,
Because it filled our hearts with love that glisters always.
...
