Ja we discuss this frequently. I was in university when SA rock became very big (2008 - 2012). But somewhere it just died out. I still wonder how and why
Dankie Theo, ignoreer asb mense soos Stefan Engelsma! Die meerderheid van Afrikaners waarmee ek al te doen gehad het voel die band met ons Nederlandse broeders in ons brand. Ek wens dat daar nouer samewerking tussen ons as volke kon wees, dis werklik jammer dat ons so uitmekaar moes dryf. Ons moet kulturele samewerking eerder aanmoedig as om mekaar af te breek!
My friend's mom is an Afrikaner, albeit the dutch took the land, they should still be welcome and forgiven. I love dit. Fokofpolisiekar, come to Chicago.
Het is toch ongelooflijk dat er in Zuid-Afrika een band is die bijna alle bands in Nederland dik achter zich laat..dit is zoo'n dikke band!! Ik hoop dat ik ze ooit nog eens in Paradiso zie!!!
Wil weet hoeveel keer ek die ouens se CDs op repeat geluister het in die laaste 7jaar. Fok bra, dink dis die meeste wat ek al na enige musiek geluister het. FOKOF.
Ik hoop het. Ze waren eens eens eerder, traden op met Stuurbaard Bakkebaard, maar ik geloof dat het maar half een succes was. Helaas heb ik hen toen gemist. Maar idd, dit soort bands moeten we zien! Ook op Pinkpop/Lowlands!
No but I speak Dutch, and simply looking at the lyrics I can confirm that this song is about the Afrikaner minority in South Africa and their past and present struggles.
also....the music video tries to show that first they were heavy christian ( all of them are pastors kids ) and then they became total rebels ( swalowed by the black mass ) so in the end they burned both the cross and the black mass as a sign that they are neutral and stand in between
@katpiering123 They are singing about all the hipocrates in this country. All the guys that wants to tie them down and hold them down......eks net 'n toeris in my geboorte land direct translate i'm like a tourist in my own country of birth. Deep meanings and this single was done after a hel of a fight insued in 1 of the smaller town venues they toured. Have a look at their dvd about the band and it will make sense.
@DrVonHein ze waren in Amsterdam laatst geloof ik, ik heb ze ook gemist helaas. Hier in Nederland zijn er ook een hoop goede bands, alleen ze zijn meestal niet zo bekend.
@Sangdude im south african.....and i want to say to you......thank you! im not the only one who feels like that! Gawd!!!! what do you think about the song though?
I don't speak dutch or Afrikaans, so I don't really know what they are saying. I'm assuming the burning cross at the end is supposed to be symbolic or used ironically, right? Still I like the sound and just now found out about them.
It was a luck shot Genocide avoided Who says Afrikaans is dead? Sorry Sir, I've learnt my lesson The godless have no respite Smells like teen spirit A nerd amongst the ghosts Dark Africa is just dark for those with blinders on He who cannot think Who's gray matter is hard and dusty Aim for my heart It pumps wilderness here inside I'm just a tourist In my country of birth A wounded animal in a cage On antibiotics It's the truth that inflicts violence upon me I live in faithlessness My woe is unending Do you want to stand still if I move forward? Do you want to stand still if I move forward? How can one think if your hands are always tied? Aim for my heart It pumps wilderness here inside I'm just a tourist In my country of birth A wounded animal in a cage On antibiotics Aim for my heart It pumps wilderness here inside I'm just a tourist In my country of birth A wounded animal in a cage On antibiotics
@poescoza It was a lucky shot avoided genocide Who says afrikaans is dead ? Too bad sir, I've learned my lesson The godless has no place to run. Smells like teen spirit A white spirit amongst the ghost Dark africa is (not) dark for those who have covered their eyes He who can't think Who's head is hard and dusty Aim for my heart It pumps wild inside I'm like a tourist In my country of birth A hurt animal in a cage on antibiotics Do you want to progress when I stop ?
@Sangdude I've always felt like it's more-or-less burnt into the hearts of Afrikaaners. Shit, I don't even live is SA anymore - I haven't for years, and even now I carry a stigma about it. We had something taken away from us in the worst of ways. Our forefathers didn't stand a chance against a Scorched Earth Policy. A lot of us are too proud to let go of our heritage, especially since even now it is systematically being erased in favour of pre-euro culture. So naturally people wave their --
@Mouse18e If he was talking and not the rock shout/sing you would understand. I can't understand a lot of English that is sung in this style either. If I talk slowly to a dutch person in Afrikaans they understand and vice versa. If you are from Amsterdam and speak that " algemeene begraafste Neiderlands"- (sorry spelling??) then the language is very different, understandable but very different. I met somebody who spoke a dialect from near the Hague area and it was just like Afrikaans.
@mincepieisyum Die cuzzi bro's wil jou ook nie eintlik daar he nie, maar jy meng seker ook nie met hulle nie. Snaaks, ek en van my swart landgenote het lekker saamgejol by FPK se show die ander aand, en hulle het niks vir my gese nie?
Can anyone give me a proper explanation of the song. I'm afrikaans and can understand everything and love it. But I'm curious to the meaning of the box thing and cross. Being Christian just wondering
+James Murray It symbolises them setting themselves from the things binding and imprisoning them. This can also be seen by the lead singer wrestling with the black box. The box is an important symbol in the Muslim religion, I think
Luister ouens. Ons moenie mense uitkak as hul nie goed weet nie, ons moet verduidelik. Almal raak befok op hierdie comments want die musiek is polities. Ek vir een ken my geskiedenis en ek is oor die algemeen baie trots. Ons kan maar net probeer verduidelik maar mense sal nooit regtig verstaan nie want die kak het nie met hulle gebeur nie. "Forgive them for they know not what they do". Mal tune!!
Easiest way to answer all of the questions below... Just watch the damn movie!! Fokofpolisiekar: forgive them for they know not what they do (a South-African Rock 'n Roll Documentary) after that, you'll be begging to come live here!
Don't understand why everyone is crying and moaning about Fokoff they've been this awesome forever.
True rock is not dead. It moved to SA and learned Afrikaans
+Anton Vorobyev Fucken damn right bru!
NAAHS!!
What about Muse?
Muse is lekker with ice cream
Ja we discuss this frequently. I was in university when SA rock became very big (2008 - 2012). But somewhere it just died out. I still wonder how and why
"I'm a tourist in the country of my birth" - FML How I relate to that lyric
The greatest of all time! Many will come and go. But only one Band will stand the test of time! #FokofPolisiekarForLife

Saw these guys live last night at The Used concert at Grand West, and I have to say that this is why i am proudly South African
My friend's mom is an Afrikaner, albeit the dutch took the land, they should still be welcome and forgiven. I love dit. Fokofpolisiekar, come to Chicago.
Jinne! Francois se Skinny jeans lyk flippen cool!! Hierdie is hulle beste video vir my en ook die beste local video wat ek al ooit gesien het!!!
Now living in the Uk, music like this makes me miss home so very much!!
Het is toch ongelooflijk dat er in Zuid-Afrika een band is die bijna alle bands in Nederland dik achter zich laat..dit is zoo'n dikke band!! Ik hoop dat ik ze ooit nog eens in Paradiso zie!!!
Ek's net n toeris in my geboorte land... maak amper seer om dit te hoor...
I love this bro this is tasty yum yum
Absoluut briljant. 'n Musiek video wat iets simboliseer. So veg ons almal teendie massa masjien
Flippen amazing!! Ek sweer, ek sal nooit hierdie music video genoeg kan kyk nie!!
Wil weet hoeveel keer ek die ouens se CDs op repeat geluister het in die laaste 7jaar. Fok bra, dink dis die meeste wat ek al na enige musiek geluister het. FOKOF.
Legends. Never forget FPK.
ons taal kom van hulle af! wees dankbaar
Ik zal me bij de rest aansluiten .. jullie moet inderdaad weer eens naar nederland komen..
Mooi gesproken.
Ek het ook hierdie idee gekry. "Gekweste dier in n aashok". Maar ek love hoe hulle besef het hoe van pas dit is.

WTF Punk in t Afrikaans met te wrede band naam! Helemaal top mannen, kom naar Nederland, ons verstaan jou !

It was a luck shot
Genocide avoided
Who says Afrikaans is dead?
Sorry Sir, I've learnt my lesson
The godless have no respite
Smells like teen spirit
A nerd amongst the ghosts
Dark Africa is just dark for those with blinders on
He who cannot think
Who's gray matter is hard and dusty
Aim for my heart
It pumps wilderness here inside
I'm just a tourist
In my country of birth
A wounded animal in a cage
On antibiotics
It's the truth that inflicts violence upon me
I live in faithlessness
My woe is unending
Do you want to stand still if I move forward?
Do you want to stand still if I move forward?
How can one think if your hands are always tied?
Aim for my heart
It pumps wilderness here inside
I'm just a tourist
In my country of birth
A wounded animal in a cage
On antibiotics
Aim for my heart
It pumps wilderness here inside
I'm just a tourist
In my country of birth
A wounded animal in a cage
On antibiotics
Charl Nortje
Thanks for the translation my friend. I'll definitely have to check out more of their music in the future.
Charl Nortje Thanks man, at first I thought I heard "Afrikaans is dood". ha
I'm dutch. Neither do I.
"A nerd amongst the ghosts" not really he says " n bleek siel tussen die spoke" which directly translates to "a pale soul among the ghosts"
nice one fokof, keep on rocking!

Can anyone give me a proper explanation of the song. I'm afrikaans and can understand everything and love it. But I'm curious to the meaning of the box thing and cross. Being Christian just wondering
Thanks mate. I appreciate your feedback. Last question. Do you know why they burn the cross in the end of the song?
James Murray
To get a reaction
the black box looks like the muslim kaaba and the cross of course Christian. They are rejecting both.
+James Murray It symbolises them setting themselves from the things binding and imprisoning them. This can also be seen by the lead singer wrestling with the black box. The box is an important symbol in the Muslim religion, I think
true words from a true south african!!!
unfucking believable. one of the best videos ever.
Klinkt lekker. :D
a "wow" from austria. ;)
@GrappyFlappy ja that and that we have such good bands in south africa, better than most international shit, in my opinion atleast.

@hubriss Goeie vertaling boet, knap gedaan :)
Je kunt het ook zien als een compliment. Jullie taal moet wel mooi zijn, waarom zou iemand uit een ander land het anders willen leren?
CHEERS FROM BULGARIA!!
Cool song. Best about it that i can understand it xD it's so much like Dutch.
Easiest way to answer all of the questions below... Just watch the damn movie!! Fokofpolisiekar: forgive them for they know not what they do (a South-African Rock 'n Roll Documentary) after that, you'll be begging to come live here!
@Sangdude If she sang about the effects of it on american culture, we probably would.
I WANT TO!!!! I'm over London now.
Ek is mal oor hierdie musiek. :)
