Lullaby Vir Suid-Afrika (feat. Laurika Rauch)

Kyk hoedat die son oor Jacobsbaai verdwyn
Met die witgekalkte huisies en die seemeeus in jou tuin
Kyk hoe smous die locals in Paternoster almal kreef
En vir ′n laaste dop by die Pantie Bar sal jy my gou vergeet

Kyk net al die tente op Tietiesbaai se sand
Kyk hoe vlieg die helder kites oor Langebaan se strand
Kyk hoe breek die golwe oor Muizenberg se kus
Kyk kook die mense in Kalkbaai almal vis

Gee vir my die Suiderkruis
Laat dit skyn oor my
Miskien as ek gaan slaap
Sal die lig by my kom bly
Skyn liewe maanlig
Skyn oor ons land
Dan sien ek in my drome weer
Die see se spierwit sand
Dan sien ek in my drome weer
Die see se spierwit sand

Kyk hoe 'n duisend sebras in die Wildtuin water drink
Hoor hoe ′n donderstorm oor die bosveld-aarde klink
Kyk die stokou plaashuis in die middel van die Karoo
En die mense wat op die stoep sit wat soos kinders nog kan glo

Kyk die Jakarandas lê pers om die Brooklyn Mall
Kyk die reënboog kleurtapyt wat oor Namakwaland uitrol
Kyk die spierwit aarde in die Vrystaat se wintertyd
Kyk hoe groet daai windpomp dis die eensaamste geluid

Gee vir my die Suiderkruis
Laat dit skyn oor my
Miskien as ek gaan slaap
Sal die lig by my kom bly
Skyn liewe maanlig
Skyn oor ons land
Dan sien ek in my drome weer
Die see se spierwit sand
Dan sien ek in my drome weer
Die see se spierwit sand

Kyk hoe vat ons hande
Toe Madiba daai dag groet
Ek is lief vir hierdie wêreld
Dis my mense
Dis my - bloed

Lullaby for South Africa (feat. Laurika Rauch)

Look how the sun disappears over Jacobs Bay
With the whitewashed cottages and the seagulls in your garden
Look how the locals in Paternoster are all pedaling lobsters
And for a last drink at the Pantie Bar you will quickly forget me

Just look at all the tents on Tieties Bay's sand
Watch the bright kites fly over Langebaan's beach
Watch the waves break over Muizenberg's coast
See the people in Kalk Bay cooking fish

Give me the Southern Cross
Let it shine upon me
Maybe when I go to sleep
The light will come and stay with me
Shine sweet moonlight
Shine upon our land
Then in my dreams I see again
The sea's pearly sands
Then in my dreams I see again
The sea's pearly sands

Look how a thousand zebras drink water in the Game Reserve
Hear the thunder storm over the bushveld earth roar
Look at the old farmhouse in the middle of the Karoo
And the people sitting on the porch still believing like children

Look at the Jacarandas lying purple around the Brooklyn Mall
Look at the rainbow colored carpet that rolls out over Namaqualand
Look at the pearly white earth in the Free State's winter time
Look at that windmill greeting, it's the loneliest sound

Give me the Southern Cross
Let it shine upon me
Maybe when I go to sleep
The light will come and stay with me
Shine sweet moonlight
Shine upon our land
Then in my dreams I see again
The sea's pearly sands
Then in my dreams I see again
The sea's pearly sands

Look at us taking hands
When Madiba said goodbye that day
My love for this world
These are my people
This is my - blood
