Erika | Rare Afrikaans Version (Jurie Ferreira)

Rare version of the famed German Marching Song "Erika", sung by the famous South African singer Jurie Ferreira and recorded in 1951.
Adopted by the South African Air Force in the early 1950's and sang by trainees who graduated from basic training. Relinquished in 1994 after the end of Apartheid.
LYRICS:
English:
On the Heath there is a little flower fine
And her name, Erika
She only mine yes, a thousand times more
Hearts celebrate, Erika
For her heart is full of sweetness
There's an unflattering floral garment
On the Heath there is a little flower fine
And her name, Erika
In my room a flower stands still over there
And her name, Erika
Along with dawn it grows so beautiful
She sees me, Erika
And then it was as if she wanted to say
Do you also think of me, your dear love
In the home a girl is weeping over you
And her name, Erika (2x)
Afrikaans:
Op die heideblom 'n mooie blommetjie
En haar naam, Erika
Is slegs myne ja, 'n duisend kere meer
Harte vier, Erika
Want haar hart is vol van soetigheid
Daar 'n onontluikte blommekleed
Op die heideblom 'n mooie blommetjie
En haar naam, Erika
In my kamertjie blom ook 'n blommetjie
En haar naam, Erika
Al met môredou so ook met awendgrou
Sien sy my, Erika
En dan is dit so asof sy wil sê
Dink jy ook aan my, jou liewe bruid
In jou tuiste ween oor jou 'n meisie skoon
En haar naam, Erika (2x)

@@worldwargamingii2939 ik that. If you think I think it's Dutch, I can obviously tell it's not because of the spelling. I'm saying it's a weird Afrikaans accent.

[@HughvanZyl]

@@dantheborghgraef220 nee, 't is niet. Ik weet 't is Afrikaans want zij zeggen "skoon" en niet "schoon". Maar het accent klinkt tot me zoos een engelse mens liever dan een Afrikaans of een Nederlandse persoon.

[@speccle1790]

@@HughvanZyl Dis natuurlik weens die feit dat dit 'n veel oue lied is wat hier vertoon is, met veel oue manier van Afrikaans praat/projekteer. Dus, klink die aksent van die sanger meer na Engels as hedendaagse Afrikaans.

Southafrica belongs to Zulu, Xhosa, Venda, Saan, Khoi-Khoi, etc, etc, not to boers and English.

[@hyrumkeller2343]

Voetsek, the only native wear Khoi, Hottentots which is debatable since they constantly wear on the move and the Bushmen (Saan). Which had no trouble with the Afrikaaners laying claim to the land that wasn't in their territory. The rest of you are from the southern/central parts of central Afrika.

[@Firefly13114]

Nope, especially since the Cape was only ever inhabited by the San to begin with and the rest only came from European wealth.
