Tot woestyne vloed, tot die son ons groet
Tot die berge slaap onder die see
Bly ek hier geplant, kaalvoet in die sand
Jy kan veg teen my of jou hand gee
Hier roep die wind, jy is my kind

Ek bly hier, vat die pad of vat my hand, blus my vuur
Ek steek hom weer aan die brand, spoel my weg

Ek swem my lyf tot op die strand
Hierdie is my Vaderland, hier bly ek my lewe lank

Loop ‘n pad saam my, laat ek jou kan wys
Waar my wortels groei onder ons grond
Joune groei ook hier, hulle lê ook diep
En ons albei is met tyd gewond

Maar in saam wees (Maar in saam wees, in saam wees)
Word ons genees (Word ons genees)

Ek bly hier, vat die pad of vat my hand, blus my vuur
Ek steek hom weer aan die brand, spoel my weg
Ek swem my lyf tot op die strand
Hierdie is my Vaderland, hier bly ek my lewe lank

Tot woestyne vloed
Tot die son ons groet
Stel onsself deur bloed
Hier bly ek my lewe lank
Dié is ons land

Ek bly hier, vat die pad of vat my hand, blus my vuur
Ek steek hom weer aan die brand, spoel my weg
Ek swem my lyf tot op die strand
Hierdie is my Vaderland

Ek bly hier, vat die pad of vat my hand, blus my vuur (Blus my vuur)
Ek steek hom weer aan die brand, spoel my weg (Spoel my weg)
Ek swem my lyf tot op die strand

Hierdie is my Vaderland
Hier bly ek my lewe lank

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Vaderland" by Adam's song reflect a deep connection to the land, a sense of rootedness, and the idea of finding solace and healing through one's homeland. The opening lines evoke a primal, almost biblical imagery, describing a desolate wasteland and the sun greeting them until the mountains sleep beneath the sea. The singer expresses their firm presence in this place, barefoot in the sand, inviting another to either fight against them or offer a helping hand. The wind is personified, calling the other person "my kind," suggesting a shared bond and kinship with the environment.

As the song progresses, the singer invites the other person to walk a path together, to show them where their roots grow deep in the ground. The imagery shifts to highlighting the shared wounds and struggles that both individuals have endured over time. The idea of finding healing and solace through unity and companionship is emphasized, with the chorus repeating the message that being together is where they find healing.

The chorus serves as a powerful declaration of the singer's commitment to their homeland, emphasizing the importance of choice - whether to take the path alone or hold hands with another, to reignite their fire or let it be extinguished, to swim their body to the shore. The repeated affirmation that "this is my Vaderland" underlines a strong sense of belonging and ownership of the land, suggesting a deep emotional attachment and commitment to staying there for life.

The final lines bring a sense of resolution and unity, as the imagery of enduring through blood, of facing the sun together, and declaring "this is our land" reinforces the idea of shared experiences and a collective identity tied to the land. The closing repetition of the chorus reinforces the singer's unwavering dedication to their homeland, to reignite their passion, to wash away their troubles, and to ultimately find their place on the shore. The song beautifully encapsulates the themes of belonging, resilience, and the healing power of unity and connection to one's roots.
