Manthwadi-nthwadi!
Boitshepo Moagi 1996 (Pretoria)
E re ke itsamaela tseleng ya maano
Go bona thalana keng kae ithwalla!
Go e sekaseka ga yona e beng ya mongwe
Naa o ntibile keng ke etsenye pateng?
E re fa ipala 'ala a kgaka mokwatla o itewe ke tlhatsana tsa boitumelo
Ke tlhatsana tsa marothisa 'etsi Go senang thepe
Boitshetlha bo ile magoletsa!
O gana jang ere fa e Go lebile ka matlho a tshesane o bona loapi lo dikologa?
Sela thalana o tsamaye!Manthwanthwadisa!
E kopantse ditlhogo le dipuo
Beng ba yona ga ba ipone molato
A ya' ke e ipone molato?
Manthwadi-thwadi!
