Nobody said it was a diaspora song. It is a love song- did you listen to the lyrics - a song of longing and sadness.

I think it is vriende wil Gy my aanbore

Mr Ebrahim Solomons answered your query. We have our own unique dialect. We are also not scared of other choir members' comments. It is particular to the Cape Muslim community. It reflects the diaspora of slaves n other free members that set sail for unknown territory, n maybe the loved ones remaining behind promising, to wait for their return.

No they are not scared. It might be construed as a diaspora song if you take it that husband and wife slaves were often seperated. It does not have to be in Dutch. It is in the language of that spoken by the Cape inhabitants who were not of white origin
