Paroles et traduction Elandré - Afrikaans Sal Bly

Afrikaans Sal Bly

Hoe sou dit wees?
As jy kon wees wie jy is
As jy kon leef
Sonder vrees in jou hart
Sou jy kan trots wees
Op Ingrid en Antjie se werk?
Sou die kleur van jou vel
Net ′n klein deel vertel
Van wie jy is?

Wat as ek sê daar is meer as bloed in jou hart
Wat as ek sê daar plek vir my en jou in ons land
Sou jy my glo as ek sê ons moet veg vir dit wat ons een maak
Afrikaans jy's meer as ′n taal
Jy's wat ons laat sin maak
Sal jy jou oë omsluit vir wat om ons aangaan?
Sal jy as die jeug, bou en laat voortgaan?
Sal jy uit Psalms ons land weer as almal s'n erken?
Sal jy saam ons bid dat Hy ons land sal seën?

Wat as ek sê daar is meer as bloed in jou hart
Wat as ek sê daar plek vir my en jou in ons land
Sou jy my glo as ek sê ons moet veg vir dit wat ons een maak
Afrikaans jy′s meer as ′n taal
Jy's wat ons laat saak maak

Ons kan beter wees verseker
Ons almal smag na eenheid in ons land
Wat jy soek sal jy kry
Afrikaans sal bly

Wat as ek sê daar is meer as bloed in jou hart
Wat as ek sê daar plek vir my en jou in ons land
Sou jy my glo as ek sê ons moet veg vir dit wat ons een maak
Afrikaans jy′s meer as 'n taal
Jy′s wat ons laat sin maak

Afrikaans jy's meer as ′n taal
Jy's wat ons laat saak maak

Afrikaans jy's meer as ′n taal
Dis jy wat ons een maak

Afrikaans Will Stay

What would it be like
If you could be who you are
If you could live
Without fear in your heart
Would you be proud
Of the work of Ingrid and Antjie?
Would the color of your skin
Only tell a little part
Of who you are?

What if I said there was more than blood in your heart
What if I said there was a place for me and you in our land
Would you believe me if I said we need to fight for what unites us
Afrikaans, you're more than a language
You're what makes sense of us
Will you close your eyes to what's happening around us?
Will you, as the youth, build and let it continue?
Will you, from the Psalms, recognize our land as belonging to everyone again?
Will you pray with us that He will bless our land?

What if I said there was more than blood in your heart
What if I said there was a place for me and you in our land
Would you believe me if I said we need to fight for what unites us
Afrikaans, you're more than a language
You're what makes us matter

We can be better for sure
We all long for unity in our land
What you're looking for, you'll find
Afrikaans will stay

What if I said there was more than blood in your heart
What if I said there was a place for me and you in our land
Would you believe me if I said we need to fight for what unites us
Afrikaans, you're more than a language
You're what makes sense of us

Afrikaans, you're more than a language
You're what makes us matter

Afrikaans, you're more than a language
You're what unites us
