SeSotho lyrics
Baby, baby ntsoare,
Ntsoare ka ditsebe
Baby baby ntsoare,
Ntsoare ka ditsebe
Hawung tsweri, ungtsware tata
Ungtisatise une unsoene
Ande kaosane hakefihla,
Ha ke kopa ung nene hape

English translation
Baby, baby hold me
Hold me by the ears
Baby, baby hold me
Hold me by the ears
When you hold me, hold me tightly
Draw me closer to you and kiss me.
And tomorrow when I arrive, and I ask you,
give it to me again.
