George performed this tune during the Womad frontline states tour in 1990, with Batsumi, a band Banjo Mosele put together. He recorded it at a studio in Bath before returning to Botswana, the band disappeared on the plane with the master tapes, which I don't think ever got released. I still have a tape of the session thankfully. A very happy memory, George was a star, he got up at dawn and sat in the park in St Pauls when staying in Bristol. The first night we spent in Finland, (mid-summer) he asked me wearily when it was going to get dark, I had to tell him it wasn't going to, just one of many moments he felt out of place that summer, but he coped amazingly alongside the rest of the band, who had all toured previously and who made precious few allowances for him.

Full Lyrics...
BagaMmangwato ba ga mabiletsa
Le kile la biletsa Sekgoma ntwa
Sekgoma ka e le ngwana wa monna
Sekgoma le êne a le e biletsa
Ke hakgamala ka go sala ke eme
Re kile ra di leleka dikolobe
Ko mogobeng wa Lephuratshukudu
Ka re ke gata e ntsho ka relela
Kgabagare ka gata ka mponwane
Mponwane wa batho morogano
Motho wa a bo a roga mogolowe
A mmala makotikoti a selo
Makotikoti a go tshabela pula
A go tshabela medupi e thibile
Batsumi ba le tsomelang mothabeng
Le seka la bolaa bo mmatswale
Ba ba setha ba tshwana le dikgokong
Dikwalata dikukama di moetse
Ke dilo tsa go tsena mo sakaneng
Basimane ba thola ba di disitse
Bagologolo ba pele le akile
Ga le a re ngwana o tsewa nokeng
Nna ke bapa le noka kana ke mothoka
Nna ke hakgamala ka go sala ke eme
Ga le a re noka ga di etelane
Nta Shashe o etela Motoutse
Dinokane o tshêla ko Mahalapye
Nna ke lapisitswe ke go thataganyetsa
Nna ke lapisitswe ke go thataganyetsa
Ka go bane ke tsa mathaku kgakala
MmaSephankga sutella
Koo MmaSephankga sutella koo
O adile phate wa ala sekoko
Dimape tsa phate di a mpolaa
O seka wa re o le mogapa wa inama
Nta di ta tsena mo leithong
Di itshima e le momeno wa kobo
Moshimanyanyana ke wena o lemetse
Moshimanyanyana ke wena o lemetse
Ka o lemaditswe ke basadi ba batho
Ka ke rile ke go bolelela wa nyatsa
Ke re tswai ga le phutelwe ka tshega
Ke thokile nyatsi ka tswa letakala
Ka tswa nkgodi wa mabina go tsholwa
Se mpowapowe marago ke ala
Mme ke ale o te o se bolele
Re babedi fela ga gona wa bone
Re okeditswe ke mojako wa ntlo
Phempherethe kgomo ê tshunyana
Kgomo o ka pêreta wa a majweng
Ka go bona tsa MmaNgwato di lemile
Ga di a lema tsa thuba nketana
Ketana tsa go morwala ka mogotswana
Kgakana e rile e bona e tsohetse
Ya itsa the dingwe kana go tshameka
Ya re ntswa-ntswa ke a inaiwa
Le se bone seporo go namalala
Ko Lebatse se boa se ikgarile
Nna ke tsamaile le mmata re bata
Re hithetse mogabala o bodule
E rile a o namela ka kanama
Ke raya gore ke te ke mmonele
Tsa ga mmata kana di a nkgatha
Di mela di dikologa dikgokgotsho
Di êditse maboana a Shalakwe
Nna ke palame Taukome ka rêlêla
Naga ka tsena ka Mabeleapodi
Basadi ba teng ba tshoma sekgoa
Banna ba teng ba bua Sesarwa
Hatshe nkabe le rekwa ka le reka
Ke kabe ke reka Mabeleapodi
Ka ke mogogoro wa phuti ke bapotswe
Ka ke a re ke oma ke raga dimapo
Ka Mosenya yo motonanyana sethodi
Lentsitsuropi se thola baeng
Noga ya matodi ke loma bosigo
Ya re e loma e be e hodise
Nna ke tsamaile le mmati maloba
Dilo tse dingwe kana dikgolego
Batho lebang ha godimo le bone
Borokgwe bo itsamaisa sesole
Bo gata ka thobane tsa sepodise
Batho tang kwa nokeng le utwe
Ka letameto le sheketisa kwena
Letameto le bua sengwe le kwena
He ka hakgamala ka sala ke eme
Love this rendition
