- Lesōthō fatše la bontat'a rōna;
- Har'a mafatše le letle ke lona;
- Ke moo re hlahileng,
- ke moo re hōlileng,
- Rea le rata,
- Leha ba bang ba re le lenyenyane,
- Ho rona le leholo, le lekane
- Re na le masimo,
- Re na le likhomo;
- Ho re lekane.
- 'Me leha le hloka lintho tse ngata,
- Le tse rorisoang ke tse ling lichaba,
- Le na le lithaba,
- Makhulo, liliba;
- Lea rateha.
- Haholo lefatše lena la rōna
- Le se le na le taba tsa Morena;
- Batho b'a rapela,
- Le mekhoa e'a fela:
- Rea ratana.
- Mōlimō ak'u bōlōke Lesōthō;
- U felise lintoa le matšoenyeho;
- Oho fatše lena;
- La bontata rōna;
- Le be le khotso.
