C#mLaasnag het ek in BmPretoria geC#mslaap
in die verkeerde Bmstad by die verkeerde C#mvrou
wat gemaak het Bmdat ek moet reis
na jou C#mtoe in die Kaap met my Bmhoed in my hand
deur die C#mmees vreesaanjBmaende land
O my C#mliefling, kan jy my Bmhoor daar waar jy slaap?
RiAvier, Oh RiC#mvier,
Jy's die Ddiepste woord wat ek Eken,
Op jou kon ek Avaar na die see en na C#mhaar,
in die Dhoop om haar hart te Ewen.
Maar woesAtyn,
was die C#mwoord waardeur ek moet Dreis
om haar hart te Ewen. A
