about

This track is sung in Sesotho, an African click language spoken by the Basotho people of Lesotho (a country in Southern Africa). I lived in Lesotho for nearly four years and love the people and the country.

I wrote this song in the Sacred Valley in Peru (Pisac). The song is about journeying, journeying with Ancestors (balimo), spirit (moya), and the trees (lifate).

lyrics

Re tsamaile Re tsamaile
Re tsamaile le balimo x2

Balimo ba re feletse
Fatse ea holimo le ka tlase x2

Re tsamaile re tsamaile
Re tsamaile le moya x2

Moya o qala ho bua
re qetile ho utloa x2

Re tsamaile re tsamaile
Re tsamaile le lifate x2

Lifate li ema le rona
Re ema moha nako kaofela x2
