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
