Analysis of Poko ya Setswana

Mpho Moota 2005 (Zeerust)



Monate wa gago o rokotsa mathe
O tsena Kafa otswa kafa
O kopanya batho batswana le baditshaba disele
O seoka batho bale bantsi

Batho ba go rata le gogo reta
O retwa obo o retwa ka o kopanya batho
Gao tlhophe o akaretsa gotlhe
O serati gole bantsi

O ka dira gore motho a tsoge ka makuku a naka tsa kgomo
O ka dira gore motho a lebale kwa gabo
O monate go feta semonamone le sebebetsididi
Molaetsa o utlwiwa mo go wena

O bula bale bantsi matlho
O ratwa go tlala seatla
Pelong tsa batho wa nna le go rena
O kopanya banthati le bantlhoi
