Welkom op die airport, dit is die jaar 2010
Ek neem aan julle is hier om sokkergames te sien
Ons het nou eindelik 'n kans om vir die wereld iets te wys
Van ons vriendelike democracy so maak jouself maar tuis
Fokol petrol, fokol diesel, fokol tv, fokol krag,
fokol water in jou whisky
Fokol jokes om voor te lag,
fokol pille by die kliniek
fokol dokters as jy vra
fokol ouens om die vullis op jou pavement weg te dra
Welkom in Suid-Afrika
Ja, welkom in Suid-Afrika
Op linkerhand sien jy die ruins van Distrik Ses,
Op regterhand 'n skollie met 'n knuppel en 'n mes
Sorry oor die airportbus wat alweer 'n bietjie laat is
Sorry oor die potholes wat nog altyd in die straat is
Ons wil baie graag dit opfieks maar die workers het gestaak
En net toe ons daai kak uitgesort het, het ons Eskom power weer opgeraak
Fokol treine, fokol taxis, fokol geld en fokol jobs
Fokol robots wat nog werk
En fokol traffic cops
Jy kan maar kla en kla
Maar dit help niks, dit help niks
So fokken baie fokol in Suid-Afrika
Ja, daar is so fokken baie fokol in Suid-Afrika
Maar anyway, welkom in Suid-Afrika
Ja ja, welkom in Suid-Afrika
Ons het 'n moerse stadion hier langs die see gebou
Want ons is finished met apartheid en oranje-blanje-blou
Net jammer daars niks geld nie
Elke dorp het nou 'n nuwe naam
en moenie worry oor die squatterkamp net langs die sokkerveld
Ons is ten minste nie meer skaam nie
Nou gaan almal saamsing, die laaste versie:
Fokol fokol
fokol fokol
fokol fokol...
Welcome on the Airport
It's the year 2010
I a**ume you hear to see the football ("soccer games")
We've finally got a chance to show the world something
of our friendly democracy
So make yourself at home
f*** all petrol
f*** all Diesel
f*** all gas
And f*** power
f*** all water in your whiskey
f*** jokes to laugh about
f*** pills at the clinic
f*** all doctors if you ask
f*** all guys to carry away the rubbish on your pavements
Yesssss
Welcome in South Africa
Yesssss
Welcome in South Africa
On your left hand guv(1), you'll see the ruins of district six
On your right a vagabond with a club and a knife
Sorry about the airport bus which is a bit late again
Sorry about the potholes that are always in the street
We very much wanted to fix them, but the workers went on strike
And just when we got that s*** sorted out, the Eskom(2) power ran out again
f*** all gardens
f*** all taxis
f*** all money
And f*** all Chocs(3)
f*** all robots(4) which still work
And f*** all traffic cops
f*** all houses in the townships
It doesn't help to complain
There's so much f***'n f*** all in South Africa
Yesssss
Welcome in South Africa
Yesssss, yes, yes
Welcome in South Africa
We built a massive stadium, were next to the sea - touch wood
We are finished with Apartheid, and the orange white and blue(5)
Every town has now got a new name, just a pity there's no money
And erm don't worry about the squatter camp right next to the football field
Mandela was our first President, he now a little old
Mbeki(6) followed him, that was probably our first mistake
They are toi-toing(7) all over the place
And they sing Um sini wami, in the meantime get you bathing suit on
because here comes the Zuma( stunami
f*** all,f*** all,f*** all...
(1) Larni is an Indian word meaning important person, like the English use the term guv'nor
(2) Eskom is the only utility company providing electricity in South Africa
(3) Chocolate
(4) Traffic lights
(5) Colours of the Apartheid era flag of South Africa
(6) Previous South African president
(7) Protest marching and dancing - African style
