Lied Vir Dikeni
A Song for Alice
Rooivalk bo berge, rivier en vallei
Darling of the mountains, river and valley
Hierdie dorp waardeur jy nou ry
This town you're driving through now
Het by sendelinge haar naam gekry
Was named after missionaries
Dis teen die Amatholes wat die wolke so maal
It's against the Amatholes that the clouds grind
Die kollege hier dra ʼn fort se naam
The college here bears a fort's name
Sleep barrikades en skietgate saam
Dragging barricades and shooting holes together
Wie sal vir Alice in die nag gaan haal
Who will go and fetch Alice in the night
By ʼn kruispad of in ʼn kloof het sy verdwaal
At a crossroads or in a ravine she got lost
Keltiese klipkruis as ʼn monument
Celtic stone cross as a monument
Op hakke of gebaadjie stap studente na ʼn tent
On heels or in a jacket students walk to a tent
Die sendeling kom nou van ʼn ander kontinent
The missionary now comes from a different continent
Wie sal vir Alice in die nag gaan haal
Who will go and fetch Alice in the night
By ʼn kruispad of in ʼn kloof het sy verdwaal
At a crossroads or in a ravine she got lost
Bybel of kanon, breek of bou
Bible or cannon, destroy or build
Die grense van destyds
The borders of the past
Is die grense van nou
Are the borders of now
Wie sal vir Alice in die nag gaan haal
Who will go and fetch Alice in the night
By ʼn kruispad of in ʼn kloof het sy verdwaal
At a crossroads or in a ravine she got lost
Protect us, o Lord, let Thy light shine
Protect us, oh Lord, let Thy light shine
Lizalis idinga lakho
Lizalis idinga lakho
Thixo nkosi yenyaniso
Thixo nkosi yenyaniso
Zonki'intlanga, zonki'izizwe
Zonki'intlanga, zonki'izizwe
Ma zizuze usindiso
Ma zizuze usindiso
Lizalis idinga lakho
Lizalis idinga lakho
Thixo nkosi yenyaniso
Thixo nkosi yenyaniso
Zonki'intlanga, zonki'izizwe
Zonki'intlanga, zonki'izizwe
Ma zizuze usindiso
Ma zizuze usindiso
