Nadine - Footprints in Africa

Free translation of Nadines song, Footprints in Africa (Afrika Spore)

Deur jou groot woestyn
-- Through your vast desert

Lê n reguit lyn
Runs a straight line

Loop my spore deur jou hart
My footprints reach through your heart

In jou hemelruim
Through your skies above

Teen die hoogste kruin
Across the highest peaks

Strek ons blydskap en ook ons pad
Reach our joy and our journey

As ek jou moes verruil
If I had to give you up

Sal ek ween, sal ek saggies huil
I will weep, I will shed silent tears

Afrika, jy sal in my agterbly
Africa, you will stay in my heart

Refrain:

Suid Afrika, ons sal staande bly
South Africa, we will remain standing

Suid Afrika, niks sal ons onderkry
South Africa, nothing will overcome us

Al sê die wêreld jy is verby
Even if the world says your time is over

Gee jy jou beste vir my
You give your best for us

Suid Afrika, dis die land van my
South Africa, it is the land of mine

Affirmation:

Ons sal onthou waar ons vandaan kom
We will remember where we came from

En ons sal weet waarheen ons gaan
And we will know where we are heading

Neem my hand, ek sal vorentoe kyk
Take my hand, I will look straight ahead

En ek sal onthou om uit te reik
And I will remember to reach out

Hier waar ossewa spore rou lê
Here where oxen wagons carved their tracks

Dit is die plek waar my voetspore nou lê
This is the place where my footprints now lie

Ons sal lewe, ons sal steeds sterwe
We will live, we will still die

Ons vir jou, Suid Afrika
For our country, South Africa
