Re: Where can I find the lyrics?
Hi,
My first post on the .org - so I don't know how the quoting works here.
Short answer I don't know - sorry. Google translate doesn't translate lyrics into sesotho. The first online sesotho-english dictionary I searched also keep lyrics untranslated.
Quotes from Wikipedia
If you did not do it already you could ask in the video comments or email the question to the person who uploaded the video.
Edit
I never hear neither sesotho nor this song language but I bet this is not a sesotho song - If I am correct - why does Google translate detected

Lesotho has a population of approximately 2,067,000.
Despite their literacy, Lesotho's residents struggle for access to vital services, such as healthcare, travel, and educational resources, as, according to the International Telecommunication Union, only 3.4% of the population use the Internet.

Thank you, you've tried very hard.
The song is in Pashto.
Who is the Bibi Shirina in Sardar Ali Takkar’s new song, “Ta Bibi Shirina Ye”?

I'd like the lyrics in Pashto, written in Pashto script.

Re: Where can I find the lyrics?
The trick is usually to translate the word "lyrics" itself. For example, "lyrics" in French is "paroles", and if I search for the song name + "paroles" on Google, I'll find a lyrics site. Obviously, this will be more difficult with much smaller languages.
But it's really worth figuring out what phrases to Google for when searching for native media. Also, sometimes you need to tweak your Google language settings, so it returns more non-English results. Similar advice probably applies for other search engines, but again, it will be more difficult for smaller languages.

Re: Where can I find the lyrics?
Thanks for the tip.
It sounds almost ironic.
According to Wikipedia 'The total number of Pashto-speakers is estimated to be 45–60 million people worldwide.'
