Fatshe leno la rona,
Blessed be this noble land,
Ke mpho ya Modimo,
Gift to us from God's strong hand,
Ke boswa jwa borraetsho;
Heritage our fathers left to us.
A le nne ka kagiso.
May it always be at peace.
Tsogang, tsogang! banna, tsogang!
Awake, awake, O men, awake!
Emang, basadi, emang, tlhagafalang!
And women close beside them stand,
Re kopaneleng go direla
Together we'll work and serve
Lefatshe la rona.
This land, this happy land!
Ina lentle la tumo
Word of beauty and of fame,
La chaba ya Botswana,
For the nation of Botswana.
Ka kutlwano le kagisano,
Through our unity and harmony,
E bopagantswe mmogo.
We'll remain at peace as one.
