Afrika Kind
Kom vat my hand
Hier in swaarkry land
Kom laat ons lag
Oor more se dag
Stap saam met my
Deur ‘n vleiland kontrei
En hoor jy die lied
Wat die natuur oor jou giet
Dis hier waar die wind met jou praat
Op die aarde se maat
En die water wat vloei jou weer rustig kom maak
En skielik is daar ‘n stem wat kom sê jy's my kind
Kom vat my hand
Hier in sonskyn land
Kom ons dra saam
Wat hier om ons aangaan
Loop hand aan hand
Hier op afrika sand
Kom asem die lug
Wat jou siel weer laat rus
Dis hier waar die wind met jou praat
Op die aarde se maat
En die water wat vloei jou weer rustig kom maak
En skielik is daar 'n stem wat kom sê jy's my kind
Jy is my kind
Jy is my kind
My Afrika Kind
Come take my hand
Here in suffering country
Come let's laugh
About tomorrow's day
Walk with me
Through the valley country
And do you hear the song
That nature pours over you
It is here that the wind talks to you
On they earth's rhythm (beat).
And the water that flows, comes to calm you again
And suddenly there is a voice that comes to say that you are my child
Come take my hand
Here in sunshine land
Let us carry together
What is happening around us
Walk hand in hand
Here on Africa sand
Come breathe the air
That soothes your soul
It is here that the wind talks to you
On they earth's rhythm (beat).
And the water that flows, comes to calm you again
And suddenly there is a voice that comes to say that you are my child
You are my child
You are my child
My Africa child
