I remember listening to this in the early morning on the way to work on the subway in China going through an existential crisis. It got me through some hard times.
Dankie vir die goeie werk van die drakensburgh boys choir Dis seuns is baie wonderlike wanneer hulle sing in hulle skool koor. Baie meisies kan nie sing hou die seuns nie. Dis dis beste.❤️
Ek bly in Amerika maar my Francois Van Coke is definitief een van Suid Afrika se grootse legendes en ek luister sy musiek klip hard en hy sal my altyd trots maak om Afrikaans te wees
An English translation of the song: In your face is a constellation I'm a child who looks at the stars When you run your hands through my hair In the dark I feel defenseless I feel small again When the storm begins to howl The mountain burns And the tree is blown down And the flames start licking at my curtains Then I write myself a new place Becomes when the weather comes again It comes to stay I know the shame and the vulnerability I remember we prayed aloud And I remember we made out in our school uniforms So I write myself a hiding place Because I know the weather will come to stay But Comma Comma Come again This time I'm ready I'll have an axe in my hand Sometimes you've got to Break something open You've got to hit yourself against the window So that we both crack
I will have an ax in my hand Sometimes you have to break something open I know of being kicked in the corner and screaming Push you into the window and we both crack I'm just writing myself a hiding place There's a mountain of wood piles burning instead of my mind Comma..
Stunning, even mooi als die live versie van Fokof in die Kirstenbosch National Botanical Gardens, hoedervleis, Moest eigenlijk een topper worden in Nederland
translates: 'your face is like the milky way & i'm a kid who looks at the stars. if you comb your hand through my hair, i feel defenceless, i feel small again.'
2:40, can someone please explain this lyric to me? "daars n berg houtpiele wat brand in pleks van my verstand". I've seriously been pondering it for the last week and I don't understand the symbolism behind it :/
a "houtpiel" or "houtpiele" is land that is barren and can no longer bear fruit. He is essentially singing about how his thoughts are now barren dreams that are burning instead of his sanity and can no longer become anything. More or less. It is a word that is seldom used due to the fact that piel is a slang term in afrikaans for penis. Like dick in English only a lot more offensive.
houtpiele (dooden dicks) means sterile. so a mountain of sterile idees in hie brain that will never lead to something. instead of his intelligence. its explained on their Facebook page

I want to learn Xhosa to appreciate music and culture.
@@henryautumn37 same.. But doing it as an adult is so impossible.. Wish they shoved it down my throat when i was a kid
I've repeated this for a week now, I'm Kenyan,so I dunno Afikaan but damn it sounds lovely
no words can describe the beauty of this song...
This is si powerful...from goosebumps to tears.
Always
Please don't ever ever ever leave the voice. You are amazing.
Ek bly in Amerika maar my Francois Van Coke is definitief een van Suid Afrika se grootse legendes en ek luister sy musiek klip hard en hy sal my altyd trots maak om Afrikaans te wees
In jou gesig is 'n sterrestelsel. Ek is 'n kind wat na die sterre kyk... GREAT PERFORMANCE 💕🤞🏽
Ongelooflik mooi! Francois jy is ‘n legend!
This is something for the true music lover. Out of this world
Soek meer hiervan Francois! Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant!
I get goosebumps, Francois jou yster!
First time hearing this song. sounds so peaceful
GREAT ! Love from France.
Thanks !
Mooi live optreden!
An English translation of the song:
In your face is a constellation
I'm a child who looks at the stars
When you run your hands through my hair
In the dark
I feel defenseless
I feel small again
When the storm begins to howl
The mountain burns
And the tree is blown down
And the flames start licking at my curtains
Then I write myself a new place
Becomes when the weather comes again
It comes to stay
I know the shame and the vulnerability
I remember we prayed aloud
And I remember we made out in our school uniforms
So I write myself a hiding place
Because I know the weather will come to stay
But
Comma
Comma
Come again
This time I'm ready
I'll have an axe in my hand
Sometimes you've got to
Break something open
You've got to hit yourself against the window
So that we both crack
'Then I'll write for myself a (new) hiding place' would be a more apt translation right? wegkruipplek =/= plek
@@liam-398 yes, definitely. thank you
Great translation! I’m surprised at how well the “comma, comma, come again” worked as I was singing along in my head
I will have an ax in my hand
Sometimes you have to break something open
I know of being kicked in the corner and screaming
Push you into the window and we both crack
I'm just writing myself a hiding place
There's a mountain of wood piles burning instead of my mind
Comma..
Dit laat my huil😢❤
So deep! Love it
so beautiful ❤
So mooi, bring die koor na Francios en vriende!!!
Stunning, even mooi als die live versie van Fokof in die Kirstenbosch National Botanical Gardens, hoedervleis, Moest eigenlijk een topper worden in Nederland
Those boys are awesome... WOW!!!
Goosebumps!!! Love it :)
No idea what he's singing but I like it
It's a beautiful song
Ai Candice its afrikaans but its very deep words..
You won't know but ja
It’s worth looking up the translated lyrics…it starts “in your face is a galaxy, I am a child who looks at the stars…”
Best performance
Flippen hel....dis mooi💙💛💜❤
Wow dit was flippen good well done julle!
I bet there are people watching this and wishing they had paid attention in Afrikaans class.
Nah one song doesn't make anyone wish anything, there's Google to make life easier 🤪
Lol 😂
Yesssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
wow!!! baie goed gedoen.
I wish i could understand the song
It sounds deep
translates: 'your face is like the milky way & i'm a kid who looks at the stars. if you comb your hand through my hair, i feel defenceless, i feel small again.'
@@lm_b5080 stunning!!
Amazing!!!!

Have you ever been so angry that it feels like your head is on fire and you can't think straight? That's what I think it means
Wat 'n song!
I bet they didn't introduce him as "Francois, of the band Fokofpolisikar!"
Post mal + Onskuldig = Hemels. Wie sou kon dink? 🤘🏻👼
2:40 'n berg ou pielle wat brand in pleks van my verstand. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
n berg houtpielle, houtpiel="onvrugbaar" M.A.W onvrugbare gedagtes
@@hermanneybers7305 Hy sing "n berg in tieme"
@@hermanneybers7305 Je bedoelt onzedelijke gedachtes?
Luister alreeds 'n paar dae pal na die snit, Wonderlik
Great song. Who designed the boys’ outfits?☹️
The Drakenberg Boys Choir have a variety of outfits for various occasions.
south Africans are unique
Can you hear the Dutch language in this?
Yes the language is called Afrikaans, Love from South Africa...
Actually they speak the old Dutch language,a lot of resemblance
@@ianondieki7825 it's not old Dutch it's Afrikaans.
Closer to old flemish in fact, closest to West Vlaams dialect from Flanders. Super mooi, geweldige leuke taal Afrikaans
Komma
Fokofpolisiekar
in jou gesig is 'n sterrestelsel
ek is 'n kind wat na die sterre kyk
as jy jou hande deur my hare vryf
in die donker
voel ek weerloos
voel ek weer klein
as die storm weer begin sanik
die berg brand
en die boom omwaai
en die vlamme aan my gordyne lek
dan skryf ek vir ons 'n nuwe plek
want as die weer weer kom
sal dit kom om te bly
ek ken die skaamte en die kwesbaarheid
ek onthou ons het hardop gebid
en ek onthou ons het in ons skoolklere gevry
so ek skryf maar vir my 'n wegkruipplek
want ek weet die weer sal weer kom om te bly
maar
komma
kom maar
komma
kom maar weer
hierdie keer is ek gereed
ek sal 'n byl in my hand hê
partykeer moet jy
iets oopbreek
jou teen die ruit stamp dat ons albei kraak
ek…
Asemrowend
Mal oor hierdie lied
Hoendervleis komma komma komma😔
Ongelooflik.
En hier dog ek die liekie kon nie mooier klink duidelik was ek verkeerd
hoendervleis-pragtig.
He's a fantastuc Guy and a Passionate Artist, but Vocally he wouln't have passed the first stage of an Idols competition.
Because he´s not that type of singer? I bet a lot of singers from rock/punk groups wouldn't pass the first stage in many of these competitions.
Most music legends would not have..
Francois Van Coke mediocre singer,don't know what the fuss is all about. The Drakensburg Boys Choir sounds great though.
Francois van Coke mediocre? Are you on tik?
Watvan jy fokof?
Boring
Jou ma is boring
@@donsmith8679 powerful statement. You should be proud
With a name like that I realy cant expect more from you LOL
mic controle is die slegste wat ek ooit gehoor het ..as dit nie vir die koor was nie ..het ek my X gedruk .......
Jay-Pee van der Merwe dp daars nie n X nie dis the voice
