Ons Trek London Toe
Jay Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Daar is ‘n eiland
‘n Koue eiland
Waar geen Afrikaner wil bly
En op daai eiland
Daai khaki eiland
Moet geen Engelsman vir my kyk

Dis net die Bokke

Die goue Bokke
Wat my op daai eiland sal kry
Want hulle kos is so vaal soos die mense
Ek verkies springbokpootjies en pense
Ek trek moeilik oor my land se grense
Maar oh hier gaan ons

Ons trek London toe met ‘n mus en 'n kombers
Ons trek London toe om die khakis te vererg
Ons trek London toe om die beker groen te verf
Want Bokke ons staan agter jou
Ons trek London toe

Daar is ‘n storie
‘n Ware storie
Van ‘n boer wat in London wou bly
Maar na daai winter
Daai eerste winter
Kon jy nie ‘n woord uit hom kry

En twee jaar later
Deur al die trane
Was hy by depressie verby
Want hy verlang na sy land en sy mense
Al eet hy net pootjies en pense
Net vir die Bokke trap hy oor die grense
So oh hier gaan ons

Ons trek London toe met ‘n mus en 'n kombers
Ons trek London toe om die khakis te vererg
Ons trek London toe om die beker groen te verf
Want Bokke ons staan agter jou
Ons trek London toe

Ons trek London toe met ‘n mus en 'n kombers
Ons trek London toe om die khakis te vererg
Ons trek London toe om die beker groen te verf
Want Bokke ons staan agter jou
Ons trek London toe

Ons trek London toe met ‘n mus en 'n kombers
Ons trek London toe om die khakis te vererg
Ons trek London toe om die beker groen te verf
Want Bokke ons staan agter jou
Ons trek London toe

Want Bokke ons staan agter jou
Ons trek London toe

Overall Meaning

The song "Ons Trek London Toe" by Jay Lianie May is a rousing ballad sung in Afrikaans about the South African rugby team, the Springboks, and their journey to London to compete in the Rugby World Cup. The song begins with a reference to an island where no Afrikaner wants to stay and where an Englishman should not set his eyes on the singer. The only ones who could survive on this khaki island, where everybody and everything is of a dull hue, are the Springboks. The singer expresses that while he struggles to cross borders, he is willing to travel to London with his musket and a blanket to cheer on the Bokke and show support.

The lyrics then turn to a true story about a farmer who left South Africa for London but fell into depression due to his homesickness. The singer emphasizes how much the farmer misses his country and people despite the fact that the only food he can find is springbok legs and pens. The song ends with the singer repeating that they are going to London with a musket and a blanket to show support for the Springboks in the Rugby World Cup.

Overall, the lyrics are a tribute to the Springboks and South Africa's national pride despite the challenges and difficulties faced by the people.

Line by Line Meaning

Daar is ‘n eiland
There is an island

‘n Koue eiland
A cold island

Waar geen Afrikaner wil bly
Where no Afrikaner wants to stay

En op daai eiland
And on that island

Daai khaki eiland
That khaki island

Moet geen Engelsman vir my kyk
No Englishman should look at me there

Dis net die Bokke
It's only the Bokke

Die goue Bokke
The golden Bokke

Wat my op daai eiland sal kry
That will find me on that island

Want hulle kos is so vaal soos die mense
Because their food is as bland as the people

Ek verkies springbokpootjies en pense
I prefer springbok shins and cheeks

Ek trek moeilik oor my land se grense
I struggle to leave my country's borders

Maar oh hier gaan ons
But here we go

Ons trek London toe met ‘n mus en 'n kombers
We head to London with a blanket and a mouse

Ons trek London toe om die khakis te vererg
We head to London to anger the khakis

Ons trek London toe om die beker groen te verf
We head to London to paint the cup green

Want Bokke ons staan agter jou
Because Bokke, we stand behind you

Daar is ‘n storie
There is a story

‘n Ware storie
A true story

Van ‘n boer wat in London wou bly
Of a farmer who wanted to stay in London

Maar na daai winter
But after that winter

Daai eerste winter
That first winter

Kon jy nie ‘n woord uit hom kry
You couldn't get a word out of him

En twee jaar later
And two years later

Deur al die trane
Through all the tears

Was hy by depressie verby
He was past depression

Want hy verlang na sy land en sy mense
Because he longs for his land and his people

Al eet hy net pootjies en pense
Even if he only eats shins and cheeks

Net vir die Bokke trap hy oor die grense
He only crosses the borders for the Bokke

So oh hier gaan ons
So here we go
