Sarie Marais
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
My Sarie Marais is zo ver van my hart,
maar 'k hoop om haar weer te sien.
Sy het in die wyk van die Mooirivier gewoon,
nog voor die oorlog het begin.
O bring my trug na die ou Transvaal,
daar waar my Sarie woon,
Daar onder in die mielies by die groen doringboom,
daar woon my Sarie Marais,
daar woon my Sarie Marais
Ek was so bang dat die Kakies my sou vang,
en ver oor die see wegstuur;
Toe vlug ek na die kant van die Upingtonse sand
daar onder langs die Grootrivier.
O bring my trug na die ou Transvaal,
daar waar my Sarie woon,
Daar onder in die mielies by die groen doringboom,
daar woon my Sarie Marais,
daar woon my Sarie Marais
Verlossing het gekom en die huistoe gaan was daar,
terug na die on Transvaal;
My liewelingspersoon sal seker ook daar wees
om my met 'n kus beloon.
O bring my trug na die ou Transvaal,
daar waar my Sarie woon,
Daar onder in die mielies by die groen doringboom,
daar woon my Sarie Marais
Daar onder in die mielies
by die groen doringboom,
daar woon my Sarie Marais
