A Sotho folk song from Lesotho, Tau Ya Thaba means “Lion of a mountain” in the Sotho language. Sotho is the native language of Lesotho. Lesotho, a country nestled in the southern part of South Africa, is also affectionately known as the Mountain Kingdom, owing to its beautiful, majestic mountains. Moving between towns involves crossing valleys and ascending many mountains, whether by car, foot or horse. This song speaks of the Mountain Kingdom as a place for the mighty; a place for the truly courageous. The text translates to “only the courageous climb the lion of a mountain”, a metaphor for life in which only the strong can climb some of the toughest hills. It is a song that celebrates the beauty of Lesotho and a song of encouragement. Available in SATB, TTBB and SAB.
