Gee my ‘n hart soos Dirkie Uys Dat al is daar geen hoop Ek nooit my rug sal wys Gee my die moed van Jopie Fourie Dat ek vir Vaderland veg En nooit sal wegkruip nie Maak my so slim soos Christiaan De Wet Dat as die vyand iets doen Ek reeds ‘n plannetjie het Gee my die durf van Koos De La Rey As ons dit alles het Maak ons, ons, weer vry My pa het vir my al die stories gelees Van Japie Greyling Hy was dapper gewees Danie Theron Hy het tot die dood toe geveg Vir die ou republiek Vir wat hy weet was reg My ma het vir my al die liedjies geleer Van Sadie maar een *** Wat as tien gaan geweer *** Net Tant Hessie se witperd In my kop gaan slaap En die vier perde Die waarheid het my daarop geraak *** Onthou jy Ons was vry (Koor herhaal) Ek en my broer het kommando gespeel Bly ons gemaak En vrugte gesteel Ek was kaptein En hy was general As hy my beveel Het ek biskuit gaan haal Waar is jy Ons maak vry (Koor herhaal) My oupa is dood Ek het min geweet Maar sy drome was groot Dit onthou ek nog steeds Ek hoop ja ek hoop Hy is trots op my Dat ek ook my deel doen om ons volk te bevry (Koor herhaal) ***As jy drie sterre sien, dit beteken ek nie glo ek het die korrek woorde gehoor nie. Jammers, Afrikaans is nie my moedertaal nie.

@@mattbrown4141 Oh, many thanks. Afrikaans is not my mother tongue either. So that's really appreciated. Below you find the lyrics in English (via Google Translator). All the best! Give me a heart like Dirkie Uys That, even if there is no hope, I never give up Give me the courage of Jopie Fourie, That I will fight for the Fatherland and will not Make me as smart as Christiaan de Wet, That if the enemy does something I already have a plan, Give me the courage of Koos de la Rey, When we have all this we set ourselves free again. My father read me all the stories From Japie Greyling, he was brave Danie Theron fought to the death, For the old republic, for what he knew was right. My mother taught me all the songs, Van Sarie Marais and where is Dina again? Went to sleep with Aunt Hessie's White Horse in my head, And the Four Horse Wagon picked me up there. Remember, We were free! Give me a heart like Dirkie Uys That, though there is no hope, I will never turn my back, Give me the courage of Jopie Fourie, That I will fight for the Fatherland and will not hide, Make me as smart as Christiaan de Wet, That if the enemy does something I already have a plan, Give me the courage of Koos de la Rey, When we have all this we set ourselves free again. My brother and I played commando, Clay ox made and fruit stolen. I was captain, he was general, If he ordered me, I went to get biscuits. Where are you? We set free! Give me a heart like Dirkie Uys That, though there is no hope, I will never turn my back, Give me the courage of Jopie Fourie, That I will fight for the Fatherland and will not hide, Make me as smart as Christiaan de Wet, That if the enemy does something I already have a plan, Give me the courage of Koos de la Rey, When we have all this we set ourselves free again. My grandfather is dead, little did I know, But his dreams were big, I still remember that, And I hope, yes I hope, he's proud of me, That I also do my part to free our people. Give me a heart like Dirkie Uys That, though there is no hope, I will never turn my back, Give me the courage of Jopie Fourie, That I will fight for the Fatherland and will not hide, Make me as smart as Christiaan de Wet, That if the enemy does something I already have a plan, Give me the courage of Koos de la Rey, When we have all this we set ourselves free again.

Pragtig! Geluk!
