Zuid-Afrika

Ons he ien half jaar in Nierland gewees
Bij ons swaagman Peter en ons skoonsus Trees
Ons he genoot, ons vond alle dages fees
Ons he nog nie in so'n skoon land gewees
Oeral woont die lui, d'r in ier eigene wijkes
Die arms woont bij die arms, die rijkes bij die rijkes
Die Marrokaanders en die Turklui, die maak alles skoon
Ons vind Nierland, die ideale land gewoon
Ons he ien half jaar in Nierland gewees
Bij ons swaagman Peter en ons skoonsus Trees
Ons he genoot, ons vond alle dages fees
Ons he nog nie in so'n skoon land gewees
Nie ene swartman, en geen turklui nie in die parlement
Als ons in Afrika so doen, krij ons gelazer in die tent
Die vrouwe-huizes benne slechts toegankelijk vir vrouwes
Die jonkies bij die jonkies, en die ouwes bij die ouwes
Ons he ien half jaar in Nierland gewees
Bij ons swaagman Peter en ons skoonsus Trees
Ons he genoot, ons vond alle dages fees
Ons he nog nie in so'n skoon land gewees
Die manlui vloek sochtends in die file and're manlui stij'
Wijl die vrouwlui met die kinders in die thuisland blij'
Ons echter nie begrij die vrouwlui nie van 'Blij van mij lij'
Apartheis es ien skonne saak, maar ie ken ook overdrij'
Ons he ien half jaar in Nierland gewees
Bij ons swaagman Peter en ons skoonsus Trees
Ons he genoot, ons vond alle dages fees
Ons he nog nie in so'n skoon land gewees
Voor ons is Neerland één groot luilekkerland
Die gelijke rechtes leggen in die prullemand
Nu die sake vir ons blankes in Suid Afrika loop uit de hand
Ons weet al waar ons heen sal gaan, ons gaan naar Neerland
Ons he ien half jaar in Nierland gewees
Bij ons swaagman Peter en ons skoonsus Trees
Ons he genoot, ons vond alle dages fees
Ons he nog nie in so'n skoon land gewees
Ons he ien half jaar in Nierland gewees
Bij ons swaagman Peter en ons skoonsus Trees
Ons he genoot, ons vond alle dages fees
Ons he nog nie in so'n skoon land gewees

South Africa

We have been in the Netherlands for half a year
With our brother-in-law Peter and our sister-in-law Trees
We have enjoyed ourselves, we have had parties every day
We have never been to such a beautiful country
All the people live together in their own neighborhoods
The poor live with the poor, the rich with the rich
The Moroccans and the Turks, they clean everything
We find the Netherlands, the ideal country just
We have been in the Netherlands for half a year
With our brother-in-law Peter and our sister-in-law Trees
We have enjoyed ourselves, we have had parties every day
We have never been to such a beautiful country
Not one black man, and no Turks in parliament
If we do that in Africa, we get trouble in the tent
The women's houses are only accessible to women
The young with the young, and the old with the old
We have been in the Netherlands for half a year
With our brother-in-law Peter and our sister-in-law Trees
We have enjoyed ourselves, we have had parties every day
We have never been to such a beautiful country
The men swear in the morning in the traffic jam and other men get up
While the women are happy with the children in the home country
But we don't understand the women of 'Happy for me'
Apartheid is a beautiful thing, but it can also be exaggerated
We have been in the Netherlands for half a year
With our brother-in-law Peter and our sister-in-law Trees
We have enjoyed ourselves, we have had parties every day
We have never been to such a beautiful country
For us, the Netherlands is one big lazy land
The equal rights are in the trash
Now that things are getting out of hand for us whites in South Africa
We already know where we are going, we are going to the Netherlands
We have been in the Netherlands for half a year
With our brother-in-law Peter and our sister-in-law Trees
We have enjoyed ourselves, we have had parties every day
We have never been to such a beautiful country
We have been in the Netherlands for half a year
With our brother-in-law Peter and our sister-in-law Trees
We have enjoyed ourselves, we have had parties every day
We have never been to such a beautiful country
