Sing, Afrikaner, Sing

You may not say anything more, you are done talking
It's a sad thing that affects us all
Because the great betrayal comes from our own people
 
Because one tears up the words of another
And uses it only for his own destiny
And 'he' stands for nothing, not like you and me
 
I know it will change
The wheel will turn one day
 
Sing, Afrikaner, sing
Let your voice be heard
Never let it disappear
Ooh
Sing, Afrikaner sing
If we all become one
Can we break the silence?
Afrikaner sing
 
And it may seem far off, but it's at your front door
Can you see the wolves tearing each other apart?
And there's nothing my friend, nothing that can stop it
 
For the day will come that the king will fall
And he has to make room for a General
Who outwits him, with his own people
 
Because everything must change
The wheel will turn one day
 
Sing, Afrikaner sing
Let your voice be heard
Never let it disappear
Ooh
Sing, Afrikaner sing
If we all become one
Can we break the silence?
Afrikaner sing
 
But everything has changed
Is it already too late?
 
Sing, Afrikaner, sing
Let your voice be heard
Never let it disappear
Ooh
Sing, Afrikaner sing
If we all become one
Can we break the silence?
Afrikaner sing
Afrikaner sing
 

Afrikaner Heart

Versions: #2
In fire and blood I find myself now 1
Like every Boer, child and woman
A superior force is drooling over our land
So stand armed to the teeth
Its shadow falls a dark cloud
Over the future of our nation
And if we won't fight we'll disappear
At Magersfontein 2, at Magersfontein,
at Magersfontein we draw the line
 
Come boer warriors, be heroes now
The day of reckoning is here
The enemy is running over our fields
Stand your ground against cannon fire
The Khakis 3 want to defeat our nation
They promise pain and sorrow
But if you shoot, shoot me through
But if you shoot, shoot me through
But if you shoot, shoot me through my Afrikaner heart 4
 
If you ask me, I will tell you
How deep the roots of my heart lie
If you ask me, I will show you
This is my soil, here in my fist
 
Come boer warriors, be heroes now
The day of reckoning is here
The enemy is running over our fields
Stand your ground against cannon fire
The Khakis want to defeat our nation
They promise pain and sorrow
But if you shoot, shoot me through
But if you shoot, shoot me through
But if you shoot, shoot me through my Afrikaner heart
 
Even if hell breaks loose behind us
And even if heaven falls down on us
Keep the line and stand your man
It is here where we can stop them
Stand firm, Stand firm (South Africa)
Stand firm, Stand firm (South Africa)
 
Come boer warriors, be heroes now
The day of reckoning is here
The enemy is running over our fields
Stand your ground against cannon fire
The Khakis want to defeat our nation
They promise pain and sorrow
But if you shoot, shoot me through
But if you shoot, shoot me through
But if you shoot, shoot me through my Afrikaner heart
 
But if you shoot, shoot me through
But if you shoot, shoot me through my Afrikaner heart

So the wind blows

My grandpa is getting too old for all his ailments,
and he also gets difficult sometimes, but he's a good man.
And he's nearly 86 years old,
and through the lines of his eyes,
through the wars of change,
you can see he's done with things now.
And his eyes soon become bright again,
and I can see there's a story coming up.
from the years when our people pleaded for protection,
when a band of brothers was born.
And he sees my eyes frown,
but the fire of all those years
is still coursing through his veins.
 
And so the wind blows, my child,
and so the wind blows us blind.
And so the wind blows, my child, everything away.
But it's born deep inside of you
that nothing is ever lost.
 
And through the stories, he asks me how it's going at Maties
and if we still speak our language, because he knows it's out of our books.
And he wishes for a wife for me
that can calm the hate a little bit,
because it's still running through our veins,
just getting stronger with the years.
 
And so the wind blows, my child,
and so the wind blows us blind.
And so the wind blows, my child, everything away.
But it's born deep inside of you
that nothing is ever lost.
 
And he doesn't need to say it,
because it's visible in his eyes,
a pride that shames me, a pride from above.
 
And so the wind blows, my child,
and so the wind blows us blind.
And so the wind blows, my child, everything away.
 
But it's born deep inside of you
that nothing is ever lost.
Yes, it's born deep inside of you
that nothing is ever lost.
