Ver in die Ou Kalahari daar sing die Boere so

Gee ons die Ou Kalahari die Ou Kalahari bo

In misty plains all around me the burning sun and sand

Lovely and peacful surroundings my old Kalahari land

Sonbesies sing in jou bosse die hittige son te versmaai

Rooi Afrikaner-osse sien jy om elke draai

Ver in die Ou Kalahari tot daar in die Molopo

Gee ons die Ou Kalahari die Ou Kalahari bo

[ guitar ]

When I am called on safari by him whom I cannot deny

I pray that the old Kalahari will be part of that land in the sky
