[Chorus]
Five hundred twenty-five thousand, six hundred minutes
Five hundred twenty-five thousand moments so dear
Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes
How do you measure, measure a year
In daylights, in sunsets, in mid nights, in cups of coffee
In inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife
[Verse 1]
Legong o robegelang?
Legong o sale metsi ntlogele ke go oke
Ke santse ke go belege mpepu
Sedimonthole o re jele, ntlapele Ferikgong ke a lela
O le teng tota ke swelang senku
O phukalala le dintshu
Go a sha go a fisa, botshelo lefatshe tlhase legala tshutshu
Malwetse a bala dikesi
Babolai ba e meta ka gore ba tseile bale bakae
Nxxae! re lla le wena, botlholagadi ga se motlae
O ka tswa o le monyebo-motelela jaaka jara
But o tlhaela boitumelo jaaka Tlhakole a tlhaela malatsi mabedi
Amogela madi seatla molomo kgwedi le kgwedi

E se kgale ke tlo e bala ka Diponto
O e meta fa go rileng
Kapa fa e padile jaara boela mosimeng
Senyeletse, selemo se retisa sematsatsa
[Chorus 2]
Five hundred twenty-five thousand, six hundred minutes
Five hundred twenty-five thousand journeys to plan
Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes
How do you measure the life of a woman or man
[Verse 2]
What? Ke se se bona kae?
Ke se bona mo motsamaong wa gago
Tantabela hela, tlhoka-ina ga na ga semelela sela kae le kae
Boroko ke ba tlhogo, potso ke gore "A ke tla tsoga ke hema?"
Ke mo mmileng go koloi, go sephethepethe
O mpona boferefere
Mme Ke semere letshwao, lare
"No food, no job please help!"
Wena wa re "You no good, you are a flop, go to hell!"
Wa bona...
Malatsi a me a tletse letlhoyo
Kutlobotlhoko le maano a gananang
Lebaka legolo ke metang
Ngwaga ka lerato le ke le amogelang
Le tshepo e ke e bonang
Akere re lebetse Modimo (Rotlhe)
Akere 'fifi le go aparela ka bonako
Like, selemo sa mariga a seetebosigo
O siela kae gonne gotlhe re tletse bosilo (Re tletse bosilo)
[Chorus 2]
Five hundred twenty-five thousand, six hundred minutes
Five hundred twenty-five thousand journeys to plan
Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes
How do you measure the life of a woman or man
[Verse 3]
Ga se magatwe, go thata ya mangana a phage
Setsuatsue sa Phatwe
Se le tsa fa, se le beya kwa
Ke sala ke eme
O sala o botsa "Nare dieman o ne a ja?"
Kae? Le mang? Goreng jang a sa wa?
Ga la utlwa, ditlamalwana dikae?
Maru ke ao a tla le pula, dula o e mete
Ke kgaratlhela gore fa e kolomela
Boediidi bo korobela
Ke bo ke bososela matsatsi fa a phirima
Bosigo balotsana ba go tsimola
Bososela, jara mosi wa tsela
O lebile kae?
Fa e se wena ke botsa sefela "O timela jwang?"
Legong o robegelang?
Legong o sale metsi ntlogele ke go oke ke santse ke go belege mpepu
Sedimonthole o re jele, ntlapele Ferikgong ke a lela
O le teng tota ke swelang senku
Ke mo mileng go koloi, go sephethepethe
O mpona boferefere
Mme Ke semere letshwao, lare
"No food, No Job Please help!"
Wena wa re "You no good, you are a flop, go to hell!"
Ga se magatwe, go thata ya mangana a phage
Setsuatsue sa Phatwe
Se le tsa fa, se le beya kwa
Ke sala ke eme, o sala o botsa "Nare dieman o ne a ja?"
