I walk down the alley,
with a tune on my lips…
I walk down the street,
with a song in my heart…
I love this land of mine,
oh, where the sand is hot
and the sky is always sunny…
The waves are always cool and blue
and the birds are always
singing a song, but now:
I walk down the alley,
not feeling safe…
I walk down the street,
with a fear in my heart…
I loved this land of mine,
oh, now the sand is cold and violent
and the sky is grey and stormy
the waves are wavering and grey,
and the birds are no longer
signing a ditty, Oh, what now?
I will pray for you, South Africa,
my homeland, I hope that someday
I can stroll the beach
without a fear in my heart
but with a song in my soul!
Oh, South Africa, my homeland!
