Lay Your Sleeping Heads Poem by Alancia Lebogang Mogorosi

Robala Tau o e lole
You let no stone unturned
Re ipela ka lesedi la gago
Mme gone seo o se dirileng
O se tlogetse matsogong a rona
Gore re se di senye
Re di tshole, re di sireletse

Man of dreams
Lay the dust of your bodies
We always summon your remembrance
The inventions you brought
To your people to the country
Re tla nna re lo rolela hutshe
Re leboga ditiro tsa diatla tsa lona
Gonne re ja monono teng lo rakileng

Banna ba ditshwetso tse lolameng
Ba ba neng ba bua ka melomo e tswetsweng
Man of no silent thought
To us, even if you are forever silent
You are the living creature
Whose soul had just had a journey
Ga re kitla re fitlha menyebo ya ditlhaa tsa rona
Gonne e le sesupo sa ditebogo
Robalang, lay your sleeping heads

To all freedom fighters who died for our liberation
