Shadowland The leaves have fallen This shadowed land This was our home
The river's dry The ground has broken So I must go Now I must go
And where the journey may lead me Let your prayers be my guide I cannot stay here, my family But I'll remember my pride
(Prideland) I have no choice (My land) I will find my way (Tear-stained) Lea halalela2 (Dry land) (Take this) Take this prayer (With you) What lies out there (Fatshe leso)3 Lea halalela2
And where the journey may lead you Let this prayer be your guide Though it may take you so far away Always remember your pride
(And where the journey may lead you) And where the journey may lead me (Let this prayer be your guide) Let this prayer be my guide (Though it may take you so far away) Though it may take me so far away (Always remember your pride) I'll remember my pride
(And where the journey may lead you) Giza buyabo, giza buyabo4 (Let this prayer be your guide) I will return, I will return Beso bo 4 (Though it may take you so far away) Giza buyabo4, I will return (Always remember your pride) Giza buyabo, oh giza buyabo 4
