Ver in die Ou Kalahari
daar sing die Boere so
Gee ons die Ou Kalahari
die Ou Kalahari bo
In misty plains all around
me the burning sun and sand
Lovely and peacful surroundings
my old Kalahari land
Sonbesies sing in jou bosse
die hittige son te versmaai
Rooi Afrikaner-osse sien
jy om elke draai
Ver in die Ou Kalahari
tot daar in die Molopo
Gee ons die Ou Kalahari
die Ou Kalahari bo
[ guitar ]
When I am called on safari
by him whom I cannot deny
I pray that the old Kalahari
will be part of that land in the sky
daar sing die Boere so
Gee ons die Ou Kalahari
die Ou Kalahari bo
In misty plains all around
me the burning sun and sand
Lovely and peacful surroundings
my old Kalahari land
Sonbesies sing in jou bosse
die hittige son te versmaai
Rooi Afrikaner-osse sien
jy om elke draai
Ver in die Ou Kalahari
tot daar in die Molopo
Gee ons die Ou Kalahari
die Ou Kalahari bo
[ guitar ]
When I am called on safari
by him whom I cannot deny
I pray that the old Kalahari
will be part of that land in the sky
