1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,000
From the blue of our heaven

2
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:12,000
From the depths of our sea,

3
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:17,000
Over our eternal mountain ranges

4
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:23,000
Where the cliffs give answer.

5
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:28,500
Through our far-deserted plains

6
00:00:28,500 --> 00:00:35,000
With the groan of ox-wagon

7
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:41,000
Rises the voice of our beloved,

8
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:47,000
Of our country South Africa.

9
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:53,000
We will answer to your calling,

10
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:59,000
We will offer what you ask

11
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:07,000
We will live, we will die

12
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:16,000
<b><i>We for Thee, South Africa!</i></b>

13
00:01:16,777 --> 00:01:22,000
In the marrow of our bones

14
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:28,000
In our heart and soul and spirit

15
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:34,000
In the glory of our past

16
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:39,000
In our hope of what will be

17
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:45,000
In our will and work and wander,

18
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:50,500
From our crib to our grave

19
00:01:50,500 --> 00:01:56,000
Share no other land our love,

20
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:02,500
No other loyalty can sway us.

21
00:02:02,500 --> 00:02:08,000
Fatherland! We will bear the nobility

22
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:14,500
Of your name with honor:

23
00:02:14,500 --> 00:02:21,000
Dedicated and true as Afrikaners,

24
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:29,500
Children of South Africa.

25
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:37,500
In the sunglow of our summer,

26
00:02:37,500 --> 00:02:42,500
In our winter night's cold

27
00:02:42,500 --> 00:02:48,000
In the spring of our love,

28
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:54,000
In the autumn of our sorrow

29
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:59,000
At the sound of wedding bells,

30
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:04,500
At the stonefall on the coffin.

31
00:03:04,500 --> 00:03:10,000
Soothes your voice us never in vain,

32
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:16,000
You know where your children are.

33
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:21,000
At your call we never say no,

34
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:27,500
We always, always say yes:

35
00:03:27,500 --> 00:03:33,500
To live, to die –

36
00:03:33,500 --> 00:03:44,000
Yes, we come South Africa.

37
00:03:46,555 --> 00:03:53,000
On your almight steadfast entrusted

38
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:54,000
Had our fathers built:

39
00:03:54,000 --> 00:04:01,000
Give to us also the strength, o Lord!

40
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:08,000
To sustain and to preserve.

41
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:14,000
That the heritage of our fathers

42
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:21,000
For our children heritage remain

43
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:27,000
Servants of the almighty,

44
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:43,000
Against the whole world free.

45
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:44,000
As our fathers trusted,

46
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:48,500
Teach us also to trust, o Lord:

47
00:04:48,500 --> 00:04:56,000
With our land and with our nation

48
00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:05,000
It will be well, God reigns.
