Lullaby Vir Suid-Afrika (feat. Jak De Priester)

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. Jak De Priester)

See the sun fading over Jacobs Bay
With its whitewashed cottages and the seagulls in your garden
See the locals in Paternoster all hawking crayfish
And for one last drink at the Pantie Bar, you'll quickly forget me

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

Give me the Southern Cross
Let it shine on me
Maybe when I go to sleep
The light will come and stay with me
Shine, dear moonlight
Shine over our land
Then in my dreams I'll see again
The ocean's pure white sand
Then in my dreams I'll see again
The ocean's pure white sand

See the thousand zebras drinking water in the game reserve
Hear the thunder echoing over the bushveld earth
See the old farmhouse in the middle of the Karoo
And the people sitting on the porch, still believing like children

See the Jacarandas lying purple around the Brooklyn Mall
See the rainbow-colored carpet unfurling over Namaqualand
See the pure white earth in the Free State's wintertime
See that windmill greeting you, the loneliest of sounds

Give me the Southern Cross
Let it shine on me
Maybe when I go to sleep
The light will come and stay with me
Shine, dear moonlight
Shine over our land
Then in my dreams I'll see again
The ocean's pure white sand
Then in my dreams I'll see again
The ocean's pure white sand

See how we joined hands
When Madiba said farewell that day
I love this world
These are my people
This is my - blood
