JOKO YAHA O – JOYOUS 5 LYRICS By Sibongile Makgathe
Joko ya hao e bobebe
[Your Burden is Light]
E nkgatholola pelo
[It lifts my heart]
Tumelo ho nna ke thebe
[My belief is my shield]
Etla mphemisa lefu
[That saves me from death]
Nyakallo ke e fumane
[I have found happiness]
Tseleng ya hao, Morena
[In the Lord’s route]
Dira ho nna di qhalane
[Enemies have scattered ]
Ke hloletshwe ke wena
[He has defeated them for me]
O re ho nna, ke lelale
Ke tshepe lehodimo
Moeti ha a kgathale
O pepjwa ke Modimo
Efela ho dutse jwalo
Esale o nthatile
O mphodisitse matswalo
Mme jwale ke thabile
Ho tla ba jwang ha ke siya
Kobo ena e bolang
Ke be jwaloka Elia
Ka koloing e fofang?
Ketla opa ka diatla
[I’ll wait with expectation]
Ketlare halleluya
[And trust in Heaven]
Halleluya o se Natla
[Hallelujah you are the warrior]
Se nkenyang ho Jehovah
[That leads me into Jehovah]
