Hale Mpotsa Tshepo Yaka Lyrics Translated into English
Ha le mpotsa tshepo ya ka,
If you ask me what my hope is
Ke tla re, ke Jesu;
I will tell you that it’s Jesus
Ka lapetse ho mo aka; Ha hae ke haeso.
I belong to Him; His home is my home
Le re, ke bone’ng ho eena?
What did I see in Him?
Ke bone phomolo;
I found rest
Thabo e leng ho Morena
The joy that is found in Him
Ha e na phetoho.
Is unchanging
Ka na ka tlhokomela botle,
I thirsted for beauty
Ka tswa tswa ke batla,
And searched everywhere
Ka tsielwa ke ntho tsohle,
But I had everything taken away from me
Ka fellwa ke matla.
And I lost all my strength
Athe Jesu o n’a mpona
Amazingly, Jesus saw me
Ha ke lela jwalo;
While I constantly cried
A mpitsa a re: Tlo ho ‘na,
He called and said to me: “Come to me”
U fole matswalo.
And heal from your anxiety
Jwale ke khotshe ka mehla
I am now always filled
Mohau wa Modimo;
With the grace of God
Ke qadile ho iketla
I am now enjoying
Tshepong ya hodimo.
The heavenly hope
