[Intro]

Q-riosity, Yeah, HAA!!!

[Chorus/Hook] X2

Phumelela, Phumelela

Ngiyanitshela bafana ngizo phumelela

Ngizo phumelela, Phumelela, Phumelela

Kudala ngizula ngiyo phumelela

Ngizo phumelela, Phumelela, Phumelela

Ngiyanitshela bafana ngizo phumelela

Ngizo phumelela, Phumelela, Phumelela

Noma kanjani ngiyo phumelela

[Verse 1 ]

Ga ke na Le taba ke tja bona tjeo/

Maeto ka moka a tloga mpeng/

Lefase ke tšhemo bohle re peu/

Morena wa jwala, o tla buna goseng/

Fela batho besho hle letsebeng/

Le ge ka go nwešwa go se tee sedibeng/

Ditla fela difetena tseleng di enywa ka nako tša tšona dihleng/

Batsomi ditsela di leba sekgweng/

Badiši ba tloga le tšona šakeng/

Mpeng ya bošego ke kgora mabjang/

Ke bula ditsela, ke tswallela tlala/

Mpheng ge o se go, ke kgola ke mang/

Ba huna mesela, ba tšhentšha mebala/

Ke tlare go sele ka bona le kganya/

Leswiswing laka ka leka go laga/

[Chorus/Hook] X2

[Verse 2]

Ke gotše ko gae go sena le selo/

Matšatšing a mangwe tša goja di sego/

Ke leboga fela ke bona go sele/

Ya moya re lwele maswafo a swele/

Ka patla le jase, re hlabela pele/

Ba ragile mpya bae bona e wele/

Ka kgaola ketane ka bowa ka a swele/

Ba tswalela mabati, ka roba kosini/

"Phumelela"

Bagwera ba thoma lesebo/

Ya, di vampire tšela tša mmelala meno/

Lenaba lenaba mo fase, laka leeto ga le felele kgauswi/

Etla ke go botše sephiri, nna ke naledi ga ke tšhabe leswiswi/

Letšatši le beke, le ngwana kea benya/

Ke kgwedi e kgolo le masa kea fenya/

[Chorus/Hook] X2

[Verse 3]

Ngwana llela, magana go kgalwa/

Ka wela dikoma baditi ba šala/

Methaletswana ba tseba go ethala/

Ka tshela moedi, go tšhentšha ka gana/

Nnete ke gore ke goga ka kgara/

Ke esele yela e phelang e panwa/

Gare ga mohlako sekolo sa pala/

Ka e bona e hlotša ka e nametša thaba/

Sehlare kamehla setala, se melang mebetlwa se felang se enywa/

Lehufa ke mpya ya sefofu, ye e loma ka moka, le mong eya tshwenya/

Tše ke bophelo nkweng/

Re thoma mo fase re leba nhleng/

Ga ke na pelaelo ga kena dihlong

Jwale ka Noko ye e bowang ntweng/

[Chorus/Hook] X2

They say "True nobility is not overcoming

Those who looked down on you, but your previous self who didn't believe in you"
