Lyrics

By die goue vallei het ons lank gewag
Op 'n antwoord wat kom uit die noorde
Die boodskapper kom in die nag
Het gekom en gegaan
Staan saam burgers, staan saam
Siener Van Rensburg kyk na sy hande
En sê ek kan dit nie verstaan
Iewers op die vlakte
Begin’n jakkals tjank
Die boodskapper kom in die nag
Het gekom en gegaan
Staan saam burgers, staan saam
Hoekom het jy ons nie gesê nie
Die man se perd was swart
Net soos die nag
Dit was nie Van Tonder nie
Net so tussen my en jou
Vir wat dit werd is
Ek dink die duiwel het ons 'n streep getrek
Staan saam burgers, staan saam
Staan saam burgers, staan saam

Lyrics translation

At golden valley we have waited long
On a reply that comes from the north
The messenger comes in the night
Has come and gone
Stand together citizens, stand together
Siener Van Rensburg look at his hands
And say I can't understand
Somewhere on the plain
Begin'n fox yelp
The messenger comes in the night
Has come and gone
Stand together citizens, stand together
Why do you we not said not
The man's horse was black
Just like the night
It was not Of Tinder not
Just so between me and you
For what it's worth
I think the devil have we drawn a line
Stand together citizens, stand together
Stand together citizens, stand together
