Lyrics
Daar’s 'n ver, verre land, skone land
waar die sonlig so rein helder skyn.
Dis 'n droomland vir my wat my hart en siel bekoor,
en ek weet ek moet antwoord as ek daardie roepstem hoor:
Vaderland! Dis so ver hiervandaan;
Dis nou tyd, sê vaarwel, ek moet gaan, ek moet gaan, ek moet gaan…
Oor die see wil ek reis na 'n ver paradys
waar die branders bruis en oestydwinde suis —
daardie ver, verre land lok my aan…
hier kan ek nie versuim, ek moet gaan, ek moet gaan, ek moet gaan…
Oor die see wil ek reis na 'n ver paradys
waar die branders bruis en oestydwinde suis —
daardie ver, verre land lok my aan…
hier kan ek nie versuim, ek moet gaan, ek moet gaan, ek moet gaan…
Lyrics translation
There's a far, distant land, fair land
where the sunlight so pure bright shine.
It's a dreamland for me that my heart and soul fascinate,
and I know I must answer if I get that call to hear:
Fatherland! It's so far away from;
It's now time to say farewell, I must go, I must go, I must go…
Over the sea I want to travel to a distant paradise
where the breakers roar and oestydwinde suis —
that far, far country attracts me to…
here I can not fail, I must go, I must go, I must go…
Over the sea I want to travel to a distant paradise
where the breakers roar and oestydwinde suis —
that far, far country attracts me to…
here I can not fail, I must go, I must go, I must go…
