In fire and blood do I find myself now
As every boer and child and wife
A superior power now rules our land
Stand armed to the teeth
Its shadow casts a dark cloud
Over the future of our people
And if we don't fight we will vanish
At Magersfontein, at Magersfontein,
At Magersfontein we draw the line
Come Boer warriors, be heroes now
The day of reckoning is here
The enemy is running over our fields
Stand your ground against the cannon fire
The English soldiers (kakies) want to defeat our people
They promise pain and sorrow
But if you shoot, shoot me through
But if you shoot, shoot me through
But if you shoot, shoot me through my Afrikaner heart
If you ask me, I will tell you
How the roots of my heart lie
If you ask me, I will show you
It's my soil here in my fist
Come Boer warriors, be heroes now
The day of reckoning is here
The enemy is running over our fields
Stand your ground against the cannon fire
The English soldiers (kakies) want to defeat our people
They promise pain and sorrow
But if you shoot, shoot me through
But if you shoot, shoot me through
But if you shoot, shoot me through my Afrikaner heart
Even if hell breaks loose behind us
And even if heaven falls down
Keep the line and stand your man
It is here where we can stop them
Stand firm South Africa
Stand firm South Africa
Come Boer warriors, be heroes now
The day of reckoning is here
The enemy is running over our fields
Stand your ground against the cannon fire
The English soldiers (kakies) want to defeat our people
They promise pain and sorrow
But if you shoot, shoot me through
But if you shoot, shoot me through
But if you shoot, shoot me through my Afrikaner heart
But if you shoot, shoot me through
But if you shoot, shoot me through my Afrikaner heart
