Trek aan jou trui
Hugo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hoeveel songs sal ons vir die Bokke sing
Om daai beker terug te bring?
As die groen en goud soos in '95
Die hele wêreld weer oorwin

Hoeveel songs sal ons sing as die bokke wen?
Om die Franse weer te wys
Dat die beker baie beter lyk
Op Elllis Park as in Parys

Vat hom laag en hou hom dop
As Percy oor die pale skop
En die agterlyn oor die kwartlyn verdwyn

Van die doellyn oor na die verste kant
Druk Habana weer soos op Nuweland
Dis die groen en goud wat altyd by ons bly

Trek aan jou trui, trek aan jou toks
Ons staan weer op aandag vir die Bokke se trots
Trek aan jou trui, sit op jou hoed
Want rugby en biltong bly in ons bloed
Ja rugby en biltong bly in ons bloed

Elke Wallaby kry, elke Franse man
Elke All Black weet dat die groener span na die World Cup gaan
Om seer te maak

Om te takkel en te jol en om vêr te skop
Of soos President Steyn om weer oor te drop
Dis die groen en goud wat altyd by ons bly

Trek aan jou trui, trek aan jou toks
Ons staan weer op aandag vir die Bokke se trots
Trek aan jou trui, sit op jou hoed
Want rugby en biltong bly in ons bloed
Ja rugby en biltong bly in ons bloed

Want Bobby het weer terug gekom
En Pierre Spies is weer reg
Skalla dop die balle om
En die Wallabies lyk sleg

As die voorste drie in die grond vastrap
En die hakker weer die balle hak
Sal die Bokke die beker weer kan wen

Trek aan jou trui, trek aan jou toks
Ons staan weer op aandag vir die Bokke se trots
Trek aan jou trui, sit op jou hoed
Want rugby en biltong bly in ons bloed
Ja rugby en biltong bly in ons bloed

Trek aan jou trui, trek aan jou toks
Ons staan weer op aandag vir die Bokke se trots
Trek aan jou trui, sit op jou hoed




Want rugby en biltong bly in ons bloed
Ja rugby en biltong bly in ons bloed

Overall Meaning

The song "Trek aan jou trui" by Hugo is a rallying cry for South Africa's national rugby team, the Springboks. The lyrics refer to the team's history of success, specifically their victories in the 1995 World Cup and the desire to bring the trophy home again.


The first verse asks how many songs will be sung for the Boks to win the Cup, calling back to the famous chant "Shosholoza" that was sung during the 1995 tournament. The next verse speaks of the team's potential victory over the French, suggesting that the trophy looks better on home soil than in Paris.


The chorus, which repeats throughout the song, encourages listeners to wear their Springboks jersey and cap, as rugby and biltong (a type of South African beef jerky) are in their blood. The song also references specific players, like Percy Montgomery and Bryan Habana, and their impressive performances on the field.

To tackle and to play and to kick far. Or like President Steyn to drop it over again. It's the green and gold that always stays with us.


Want Bobby het weer terug gekom En Pierre Spies is weer reg Skalla dop die balle om En die Wallabies lyk sleg
Because Bobby has come back again. And Pierre Spies is ready again. Skalla is bouncing the balls around and the Wallabies look bad.


As die voorste drie in die grond vastrap En die hakker weer die balle hak Sal die Bokke die beker weer kan wen
If the front three stamp into the ground and the hooker hacks the balls again. The Boks will be able to win the cup again.
