Kaptein
Kaptein, span die seile
Kaptein, sy is myne
Daar waar die son opkom
Daar oor die horison wag sy (Wag sy)
Vir my (Vir my)
Kaptein, span die seile
Kaptein, sy is myne
Daar waar die son gaan lê
Het sy gesê sy wag, ohoy
Sy wag vir my
Eendag lank gelede
In my drome
Was daar 'n girl soos jy
En sy was ver te mooi vir my
Daar was 'n eiland vol meisies
In bikinis
En almal lyk soos jy
En dit was ver te veel vir my
Kaptein, span die seile
Kaptein, sy is myne
Daar waar die son opkom
Daar oor die horison wag sy (Wag sy)
Vir my (Vir my)
Kaptein, span die seile
Kaptein, sy is myne
Daar waar die son gaan lê
Het sy gesê sy wag, ohoy
Sy wag vir my
Eendag op 'n reëndag
Ons alleendag
Dit was net ek en jy
Ons het mekaar in 'n droom gekry
Daar was 'n eiland vol kinders
By dosyne
En almal lyk soos jy
En dit was mooier as mooi vir my
Kaptein, span die seile
Kaptein, sy is myne
Daar waar die son opkom
Daar oor die horison wag sy (Wag sy)
Vir my (Vir my)
Kaptein, span die seile
Kaptein, sy is myne
Daar waar die son gaan lê
Het sy gesê sy wag, ohoy
Sy wag vir my
Kaptein, ek wens jy wil my hoor
Kaptein, ek wens jy wil
Ek gaan my droom verloor
Kaptein, span die seile
Kaptein, sy is myne
Daar waar die son opkom
Daar oor die horison wag sy (Wag sy)
Vir my (Vir my)
Kaptein, span die seile
Kaptein, sy is myne
Daar waar die son gaan lê
Het sy gesê sy wag, ohoy
Sy wag vir my
Sy wag vir my

I am German. Learned about this song in 2010 during the World Cup. I like to put it on when I have someone from SA in the car just to see their face. Their mind can not comprehend.
