  • During the set-piece battle stage of the Boer War (1899-1902), the Boers always gathered for a short sermon before entering into battle. They prayed and sang psalms. Such a gathering was always concluded by the loud and inspirational singing of the Boer Battle Song (Boerenkrijgslied). The Boer Battle Song is originally a Dutch victory song, called Merck toch hoe sterck, which means See how strong. The Boers adapted the lyrics and called it the Boerenkrijgslied (Boer Battle Song). This music video contains original visual material form the Boer War and is performed by the Bach Choir, Pretoria, South Africa.

    here's a lose translation of the first verse:
    See how strong they have come into the field
    Those who at all times have fought against our freedom
    See how they labour, dig and tremble violently
    For our goods, blood and our cities
    Hear the Spanish drums!
    Hear the trumpets of Maraens (spanish general)
    See how he marches forward to take Bergen op Zoom (a city)
    Berg op zoom, remain faithful, repel the Spanish hordes
    Let the tree of the nation and its stream be kept faithfully

    A little-known fact these days is that the Boers were not imperialists -- they were farmers looking for unoccupied farming land, nothing more. They also had a strong sense of freedom, bordering on the anarchism of Proudhon. Each farm was a republic on its own, and each farmer the president of his own republic. To avoid further conflict with the Xhosas who were moving westwards looking for farming and grazing land, while the Boers were moving eastwards with the same aim, they crossed the almost impassable Drakensberg where there was unoccupied land in the plains. The various Nguni people in Natal preferred the hilly country where they could protect themselves from marauding clans and tribes. The Boers entered into an agreement in good faith with the most ambitious and imperialist Nguni leader (of the Zulu clan or tribe) agreeing on which land they could use. They had left their guns outside Dingane's Great Kraal -- but he turned on them treacherously and had about a hundred men tortured and impaled. He then sent out his impis to murder people in all the unprotected settlements -- still the biggest ect of genocife in South African histoyr. More than 500 women and children, -- including infants -- and elderly men, white, 'Coloured' and Black (Sotho servants) were butchered. This resulted in the defensive action at Blood River after which the Boers and their anti-Zulu Nguni allies chased Dingane to Swaziland, where the Swazis Nguni executed him. This was where the unfortunate distrust of Black people originated -- something which is now being made worse by that lubricious crook in Nkandla (Jacob Zuma). The deaths in Kitchener's camps were not intentional -- which does not make them forgivable -- ten percent of the Boer population perished in this camps -- as well as a similar number of Black people who had lived on Boer-owned farms. But nothing justified the extremes of Apartheid, or the kind of facist vitriol spouted by some of those commenting on videos like this. All they do (with their anti-semitic, anti-Black, anti-English hate speech) is to give Afrikaners a bad name. Kry asseblief end met jul stront.

      @groenrizla2513 Před 7 lety +15

      some of your points are somewhat incorrect and just to clarify the Boers did not invent apartheid, the British did in the 1800s. The Boers fought against the illegal oppressive macro state of the British. They were also not simply farmers looking for land, that is a lie and ignorantly disrespectful towards the Boerevolk. Concentration camps not intentional? I think you need to go do your homework.
      Then you talk about apartheid as if it ended. The present day apartheid is far worse then it was under the Afrikaner government. In fact apartheid is in the exact form as it was when it was created and the fact that the borders of the country are exactly the same as they were when SA union was created in the South Africa act of 1909 proves this very point. Apartheid was only deemed necessary to rule such a unnatural country. It can only end when the land is given back to each of the previously free respective nations as it was before the Boer war where each people had their own land.
      Do you even know who the Afrikaners are? You have not looked into this topic.

      Merck toch hoe sterck nu in 't werck sich al steld,Die 't allen tijd' so ons vrijheit heeft bestreden.Siet hoe hij slaeft, graeft en draeft met geweld,Om onse goet en ons bloet en onse steden.Hoort de Spaensche trommels slaen!Hoort Maraens trompetten!Siet hoe komt hij trecken aen,Bergen te bezetten.Berg op Zoom hout u vroom,Stut de Spaensche scharen;Laet 's Lands boom end' sijn stroomTrouwlijck doen bewaren!
      't Moedige, bloedige, woedige swaerdBlonck en het klonck, dat de vonken daeruijt vlogen.Beving en leving, opgeving der aerd,Wonder gedonder nu onder was nu boven;Door al 't mijnen en 't geschut,Dat men daeglijcx hoorde,Menig Spanjaert in sijn hutIn sijn bloed versmoorde.Berg op Zoom hout sich vroom,'t Stut de Spaensche scharen;'t Heeft 's Lands boom end' sijn stroomTrouwlijck doen bewaren!
      Die van Oranjen quam Spanjen aen boord,Om uijt het velt als een helt 't geweld te weeren;Maer also dra Spinola 't heeft gehoord,Trekt hij flux heen op de been met al sijn heeren.Cordua kruijd spoedig voort,Sach daer niet te winnen,Don Velasco liep gestoord:'t Vlas was niet te spinnenBerg op Zoom hout u vroom,'t Stut de Spaensche scharen;'t Heeft 's Lands boom end' sijn stroomTrouwlijck doen bewaren!

Note im white patriot so my interest is not just iranians but all of the caucasian race as we are literally all one genetically as mediteranean nordic slavic etc are subracial petiness that are set against eachother and zog have certainly benefitted from in numerous fratricidal campaigns against italians and germans british and french english and irish greek and slavs vs german the list goes on. Most euro nations are essebtially a mixture with different caucasoid groups and especially in the british isles italy and france these three jewels of western civilisation one finds admixture between all four of the caucasoid subraces. But more so im interested in the collective interests of all white nations and the mighty indo european future we can build. Could one imagine a combination of greco roman artistry, persian soul, scottish economic policies germanic engineering britonic industry and slavic man power.

Popular sympathy was on the side of the proud little Boer republics, not on the side of greedy Great Britain. Volunteers from Russia fought in Boer commandos. In the 1980s, communist ideology was on the side of poor Africans who were "oppressed" by the white wealthy minority of the South African population. Time puts everything and everyone in their place. "Oppression" and apartheid ended - the Africans did not begin to live better. The communist ideology also came to a standstill. How it will all end, only God knows. And I respect the Boers.
