De la Rey [English translation]

On a mountain in the night

We lie in the dark and wait

In the mud and the blood

As rain and streepsak clings to me

And my house and my farm were burnt to the ground so they could capture us

But those flames and fires now burn deep deep within me.

De La Rey, De La Rey can you come and lead the Boers ?

De La Rey, De La Rey

General, General we will fall around you as one.

General De La Rey.

Hear those Khakis as they laugh

A handful of us against their massive force

With our backs to the cliffs of the mountains

They think its over for us

But the heart of a farmer is deeper and wider, they shall soon come to see

On a horse he comes, the lion of West Transvaal

De La Rey, De La Rey can you come and lead the Boers ?

De La Rey, De La Rey

General, General we will fall around you as one.

General De La Rey.

Because my wife and my child are in a camp dying,

And the Khakis are walking over a nation that will rise again

De La Rey, De La Rey can you come and lead the Boers ?

De La Rey, De La Rey

General, General we will fall around you as one.

General De La Rey.
