Shadowland lyrics

Fatshe leso lea halalela1

Fatshe leso lea halalela1

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

(Fatshe leso lea halalela1)

Fatshe leso lea halalela1

Fatshe leso lea halalela1

(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

Beso bo4, my people, beso bo4
