Less than 80 000 ordenary farmers takes on the mighty British troops 450 000 strong ,and gave them hell , winning the first war and lost the second due to a British policy of scorching the earth killing all live stock and the imprisonment of all Boer woman and children that died in their concentration camps , indeed England owes us for their cowardly act to win a war .
450 000 British troops fought +- 80 000 Boers, and then the Brit’s killed 120 000 women and children in death camps ( broken glass was found in suger; fish hooks in bully beef that the British gave to the women and children in the” concentration “ camps……… Guess where Hitler learned from about death camps!!!!
The British were amazed by the valiance of the Boers, who managed to whoop the ass of one of the world's most professional armies most of the time; to the point they literally used this love song as their beating retreat march.
I shall be talking on this tomorrow as a SA grad/teacher and have plenty sympathy for the Afrikaner. My husband's family were part of it - on both sides. But his gt gt uncle died on St Helena as a POW and some of the Concentration camp victims who died have our name. A very sad time-and a war that could have been avoided. Chamberlain and Milner- and Kitchener especially can take much of the blame. And a reply to Tony Johnson the houses of parliament were built in 1837 - many years before any gold was discovered in Jo-burg in 1886. Or diamonds in Kimberley in 1866.
I lived with in Jo 'burg and had an Afrikaner roommate: Philip Badenhorst , a farmer in the the Transvaal: he taught me this song: with all the glottal G's ...loved it there.
It's interesting that Josef Marais sang this as a ballad. His is the first version I every heard -- contained in one of his 78 rpm albums of Songs of the South African Veld, recorded in the early 1940s. I love this march sung by Kenneth McKellar
On a personal note, Sarie Marais always reminds me of the love of my life, a sweet, beautiful, blonde Afrikaner girl from my past. Yup, for me at least, she was the one that got away.
The last verse is a much later edition by an Afrikaans radio announcer Daniel Kirstein, specially written for the South African visit by Kennith McKellar, I think in the sixties. The pronunciation by Mr Mckellar is superb with some charming Scottish accent here and there.
So iets interesants oor Sarie Mare. Die oorspronklike lied was waarskynlik 'Sweet Ellie Rhee' wat deur mynwerkers uit Tennessee na die Transvaal gebring is. ruclips.net/video/0cq9dJ6PFL8/видео.htmlsi=brXIKkogW5RCb7FH
Weird !! Why on earth did this traditional Scottish singer sing a South African (Afrikaans) song ? Recalling the Anglo Boer wars that the British waged against the Boer republics in order to steal the mineral wealth of the nation. I think of that whenever I look at the grandeur of Parliament built on the spoils of Empire.
tony do not forget that the Sassanachs conquered Scotland at the point of a bayonet. Even though it is long ago the scots want their freedom, and twice (very recently) the brits have denied them that!
Sarie Marais is sung by the French Foreign Legion, and I believe some British special forces as well. Just a nice song telling of sad times. My Grandfather was born in Irene concentration camp, his mother died there. War is hell
@@zymelin21 When did the Sassanachs conquer Scotland by bayonet point again? I seem to recall that James IV was the first king to rule over all three kingdoms of Britain and he was King of Scots 36 years before he was king of England or Ireland. This same James, born in Edinburgh mind you, was also the first to dub himself "King of Great Britain and Ireland". And when did the "Brits" deny them their independence? The Scots had an independence referendum in 2014. They voted against it. Seems like the Scots denied the Scots their independence You sound like an American who just watched Braveheart for the first time
I literally fell in love with this wonderful patriotic song and I learn its lyrics. Greetings from Hungary! Dankie vir mooi liedje!!
I'm glad you like it so much, sang in Afrikaans by a Scotsman! First time I had someone from Hungary here (which I know off). Welcome.
As an Englishman I'm ashamed of the Great Boer War, afew British got very rich, ordinary people died. As usual.
Dankie vir die wonderlike lied
Ek wil ook Pretoria toe gaan
Wow; ek is beindruk!!!
A British victory without any glory, and a boer defeat without any shame.
The Boers deserve an apology.

great performance of a patriotic Afrikaans song by Kenneth McKellar
Dit is zo prachtig gezongen!
Ja my vriend die land is nou ongesteld

I’m half Dutch half English. And a full supporter of the afrikaaners
Ik ben 100% Nederlands, maar vind het Afrikaans de mooiste taal van de wereld ❤ 3:54 29 juli 2023

Kenneth Mckeller was a great singer.
Pragtige weergawe. Ek het met John McCormick en Kenneth McKellar groot geword!
very nice indeed. Never knew K.McK. sang it. besutiful!
Er is ook een mooi versie van Sarie Marais van die duitse volks singer Heino in Afrikaans
Jammer Sarie Mare het in baie arm omstandighede geèindig
Mooi lietjie ✊🏻
Dat laatste couplet kende ik nog niet.
Die lied word dikwels sonder die derde vers gesing. In hierdie weergawe is die derde vers foutiewelik as vierde vers gesing.
The last verse is a much later edition by an Afrikaans radio announcer Daniel Kirstein, specially written for the South African visit by Kennith McKellar, I think in the sixties.

Thank you!
Nee kende dat deel ook niet
Vooral de zin dat ze meegenomen werden naar : ....josie mag weten?"
zoals bij ons gezegd wordt " joost mag het weten?"

Jy is reg, maar slegs die eerste vers en natuurlik die wysie.
Fokkerse " CROWN "
afrikaans is a very funky language that I might just understand it without prior Dutch knowledge
Sounds like Forward, Red Marines.
This is older
@@JavierSanchez-zj6su I know but it sounds like the song.
@@DeVolksrepubliek yes it does
