"Blessed Be This Noble Land" is called "Fatshe leno la rona" (Tswana pronunciation: [fatsʰɪ lɪnʊ la rʊna]) in the Tswana language. It is the national anthem of Botswana. Kgalemang Tumediso Motsete wrote the lyrics (words) and composed the music of this song in 1962. Four years later when the country got its independence from the United Kingdom, this anthem was adopted.[1][2]
