OLD KALAHARI
(Danie Pretorius)

Jim Reeves - 1963



 
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 peaceful 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

(Instrumental Break)

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
