LYRICS
Afrikaans:
Op 'n berg in die nag
Lê ons in donker en wag
In die modder en bloed lê ek koud
Streepsak en reën kleef teen my
En my huis en my plaas tot kole verbrand
Sodat hulle ons kan vang
Maar daai vlamme en vuur
Brand nou diep, diep binne my
De La Rey, De La Rey
Sal jy die Boere kom lei?
De La Rey, De La Rey
Generaal, Generaal
Soos een man, sal ons om jou val
Generaal De La Rey
Oor die Kakies wat lag
'n Handjie van ons teen 'n hele groot mag
En die kranse lê hier teen ons rug
Hulle dink dis verby
Maar die hart van 'n Boer
Lê dieper en wyer
Hulle gaan dit nog sien
Op 'n perd kom hy aan
Die Leeu van die Wes Transvaal
De La Rey, De La Rey
Sal jy die Boere kom lei?
De La Rey, De La Rey
Generaal, Generaal
Soos een man, sal ons om jou val
Generaal De La Rey
De La Rey, De La Rey sal jy die Boere kom lei?
De La Rey, De La Rey
Generaal, Generaal
Soos een man, sal ons om jou val
Generaal De La Rey
Want my vrou en my kind
Lê in 'n kamp en vergaan
En die Kakies se murg loop oor
'n Nasie wat weer op sal staan
De La Rey, De La Rey
Sal jy die Boere kom lei?
De La Rey, De La Rey
Generaal, Generaal
Soos een man, sal ons om jou val
Generaal De La Rey
De La Rey, De La Rey
Sal jy die Boere kom lei?
De La Rey, De La Rey
Generaal, Generaal
Soos een man, sal ons om jou val
Generaal De La Rey
Generaal, Generaal
Sal jy die Boere kom haal?
English:
On a mountain in the night
We lie in darkness and wait
In the mud and the blood I lay cold,
grain bags and rain cling to me
And my house and my farm burnt to coals
so they could catch us
But those flames and fire now burns deep, deep within me
De La Rey, De La Rey would you come lead the Boers?
De La Rey, De La Rey
General, General as one man we'd fall around you
General De La Rey
Hear the Khakis laughing
A handful of us against a great might
And the mountains lay here to our backs
They think its over
But the heart of a Boer lies deeper and wider
they'll still see it!
On a horse he comes, the Lion of the West Transvaal
De La Rey, De La Rey would you come lead the Boers?
De La Rey, De La Rey
General, General as one man we'd fall around you
General De La Rey
Because my wife and my child lay dying in a (concentration) camp
And the Khakie's ire runs over a nation that will rise again!
De La Rey, De La Rey would you come lead the Boers?
De La Rey, De La Rey
General, General as one man we'd fall around you
General De La Rey
De La Rey, De La Rey would you come lead the Boers?
De La Rey, De La Rey
General, General as one man we'd fall around you
General De La Rey
General! General! Will you save the Boers?

Daar is ʼn paar spelfoute in die Afrikaanse lirieke, andersins ʼn baie goeie video! Het maar geniet.

[@southafricanminorityunion291]

Waar is die spelfoute?

[@boeloevanboeloefontein]

@@southafricanminorityunion291 Dit lees "ʼn man" deur die koor waar die sanger "een man" sing, plus die apostroof in "ʼn" is die verkeerde kant om.

[@boeloevanboeloefontein]

Plus waar hy sing "Want my huis en my plaas", die boskrifte lees "En my huis en my plaas"

[@boeloevanboeloefontein]

Derde, waar hy "Hoor die Kakies" sing sê die boskrifte "Oor die Kakies"
