"Follow your dreams"
There is a place for desire in your heart
Your mind comprehends determination
Your imagination goes farther than your eyes can see
"Shine like the pretty moon"
Cast your eyes upon the sky,
Admire the beauty that is the pretty moon
Hail the purity in her brightness,
When she shines uninhibited,
By the transparent clouds and the beautiful stars
"The Changing Fortunes of Time"
Look down upon no fellow,
When blessings upon your life multiply,
For the fortunes of time be unknown
"I Love You My Sweetheart"
On my way to you, my dear,
There can be no obstacles,
I go through the winter rain,
I put up with the unclouded midday summer sun,
I see through the darkness of a rainy night
"Pride Yourself Tlakale Mashashane"
Pride yourself Tlakale Mashashane
Pride yourself school of unfloundering academic excellence
Under the leadership of your evergreen and exemplary head
Capably supported by the dedicated, determined and disciplined teaching of your teachers
There is no reason not to pride yourself
For you have the cream of South African teachers
"Poetry in the sky"
Phenomenally the dark clouds are giving way to the blue sky
Philosophically the rain clouds are gathering
Gathering to sing their rain songs
Gathering to provide the mother earth with their irresistible cold little drops
"The beauty of the Limpopo Province of South Africa"
Limpopo Province of South Africa
Land of myth and legend
I am enthralled by your beauty
"Flight of the broken wings"
Clip the bird's wings,
And dare it to take to the sky
Cut the locust's wings,
And see it walk to its destination
|
"The powers that be"
I hear the cry,
Of a weeping child
I feel the pain,
Of a hurting heart
"Thabo Maluleka Was Born"
Several years ago
In the great Limpopo Province
Far from the beach
Near the rivers and the mountains
Near the mountains and the rivers
Thabo Samuel Maluleka was born
"Lonely Skies"
Lonely skies, oh, lonely skies
You whose guests are never invited
Moan not to the neighbouring heaven
Whenever I make noise to you
Through the sound of my aero plane engine
For I keep you company
"Beyond a dream"
Beyond a dream,
Life goes on
Beyond a dream,
There are challenges aplenty
"Midday summer rainfall in Pretoria"
Whenever the midday summer rain falls in Pretoria
Swallows come out to play
Windowpanes pay host to the many cold little raindrops
Jacaranda trees marvel at the rain fall
And with joy the green grass sing their hearts out
"The tomorrow of the African child"
Swim to the other end of the ocean
Where poverty is but a thing of the past
Acquire the skills and the know-how
To make it to the top in life
"You will be remembered"
To bid you farewell,
Is to say goodbye
To say goodbye,
Is to wish you well

You are so breathtakingly beautiful
Each time I see your beautiful smile
I believe that history can change
“A Beauty House”
Beautiful woman,
Lily of the valley,
Rose of the garden,
You are a paradise look-alike
“A Paradise Look-alike”
Whenever you sing
You sound like birds of the forest
The melody of your voice
Is beyond comparison
“Roses of the Garden”
The wind blew
The rivers flew
The birds sang
The sun shone
The rain fell
And the raindrops crowded the
windowpanes
"Sweet memories of the day
we sealed our love"
