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
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:

En ons sal weet waarheen ons gaan

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

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
