uit die blou van on se hemel,
uit die diepte van ons see,
oor ons evige gebergtes waar die
kranse antwoord gee,
deur ons ver verlate vlaktes met
die kreunvan ossewa.
ruis die stem van ons geliefde,
van uns land suid afrika.
ons sal antwoord op jou roepstem,
ons sal offer wat jy vra:
ons sal lewe, ons sal sterwe,
ons vir jou, suid afrika.
in die merg van ons gebeente,
in ons hart en siel en gees,
in ons roem op ons verlede,
in ons hoop op wat sal wees,
in ons wil en werk en wandel,
wan ons wieg tot aan ons graf.
deel geen ander land ons liefde,
trek geen ander trou ons af.
vaderland! ons sal die adel van
jou naam met ere dra:
waar en trou as afrikaners.
kinders van suid afrika.
ringing out from our blue heavens,
from our deep seas breaking round;
over everlasting mountains where
the echoing crags resound;
from our plains where
creaking wagons
cut their trails into the earth,
calls the spirit of our country,
of the land that gave us birth.
at thy call we shall not falter,
firm and steadfast we shall stand,
at thy will to live or perish,
o south africa, dear land.
in our body and our spirit,
in our inmost heart held fast;
in the promise of our future
and the glory of our past;
in our will, our work, our striving,
from the cradle to the grave,
there's no land that shares our
loving, and no bond that can enslave
thou hast borne us and we know thee.
may our deeds to all proclaim
our enduring love and service
to thy honour and thy name.
