- Die Stem van Suid-Afrika (The Call of South Africa) was the national anthem of South Africa. Lyrics by C.J. Langenhoven. Music by Rev. Marthinus Lourens de Villiers.
Lyrics (Afrikaans):
Uit die blou van onse hemel,
Vit die diepte van ons see.
Oor ons ewige gebergtes waar
Die kranse antwoord gee,
Deur ons ver-verlate vlaktes
Met die kreun van ossewa
Ruis die stem van ons geliefde,
Van ons land Suid-Afrika
Ons sal antwoord op jou roepstem,
Ons sal offer wat jy vra:
Ons sal lewe, ons sal sterwe
Ons vir jou, Suid-Afrika.
English:
Ringing out from our blue heavens,
From our deep seas breaking round;
Over everlasting mountains
Where the echoing crags resound;
From our plains where creaking wagons
Cut their trails into the earth
Calls the spirit of our Country,
Of the land that gave us birth.
At thy call we shall not falter,
Firm and steadfast we shall stand.
At thy will to live or perish,
O South Africa, dear land.

I studied in SA back in the 80’s and this is the Anthem I recalled. Miss it greatly....
The most beautiful anthem!!!Afrikaners be strong!!!!
What about La Marseillaise?
Of all anthems I think this is the best, the most beautiful one.
Ja
This is also the best arrangement.
It's a good one. But the best anthem, it's to make such a classification.
Johan Retsler definitely the second most beatiful ever. Right after the Soviet and ahead of Swedish
Wth is wrong with you'll, this was the anthem used in aparteid
This is true and best Suid-Afrika!
Op U almag vas vertrouend,
Het ons vadere gebou,
Skenk ook ons die krag, O Here!
Om te handhaaf en te hou.
Beautiful!
Beautiful melody. So sad it is associated with racism, meanwhile South Africa has never been so racist than under the new anthem.
Hate is not Christs response to hate, I hope the country moves forward one day, and that this music as all of good that was done in the past will also remain in people's hearts.
South Afruca is racist past and present. It's "revenge racism",
@Joshua张志鸿 Good.the Boers should go back to Netherlands. No reason they need to be Ina frica
@TheSmithersy Africa*
@@AK47_414 If the boers should leave Africa than the blacks in Europe have to leave too. The difference is that Europeans can built a civilezed society
@@niekflikweert7778 The goal of human life isn't to build a civilised societyz and african societies were. Pretty decent too. Colonisation ruined the land, even search Great Zimbabwe or mali empire
@fuerstF The Boers were Dutch, German and French. Boer is Dutch and Afrikaans for farmer. South-Africa was a Dutch colony, the most cities have Dutch names such as Johannesburg, Kaapstad (English translated to Cape Town), Pretoria, Bloemfonteyn etc. In the early 1800's Napoleon conquered a big part of Europe including Holland. England now occupied S-A for the Dutch but didn't return it. S-A wasn't in Dutch hands anymore, but there were still settlers, the boers.
Congratulations for your national holiday on 27th April Sout Africa from your friends in Germany
Lekker man lekker
Apartheid was the only model for development which functioned in Africa.
Like it or not, it´s a fact.
@Alfa&Omega 00000 Im not for apartheid but you have to admit, SA is doing badly now. ANC most likely to blame.
Have you heard of Botswana?
@@bogo_wanderlust3692 This shit is over both anc and apartheid was fucked dipshit.
@Alfa&Omega 00000 the boers were upstanding citizens and hard workers, unlike the natives
South Africa was only able to function under apartheid. Once 1994 happened, it plummeted down to what it is today, because it was under the wrong people.
Die Stem became the South African national Anthem in 1936 not 1957. From 1936 to 1957 Die Stem was Sung with God Save the King/Queen. In 1957, the Die Stem became the only national anthem and remained so until 1994.
On the contrary, he did South Africa a favour. FW de Klerk understood that apartheid wasn't sustainable; you can't oppress that many people for any extended period of time. SA was on the brink of civil war in the 1980s and by dismantling apartheid, it probably prevented SA from going the way of Rhodesia. Its current problems are largely a combination of hangover from apartheid and the abject failure of the ANC to address social problems, which de Klerk can hardly be held responsible for.
smart man.
Zim ll. It is, you fiddling fkwits nevah lenn.
It is NOT because of apartheid! Everything was better during that time, even for black people! They had their OWN schools, hospitals, loans for higher education. Even then they could go to university and study to become doctors, with lower marks required for them to pass. They were cared for and they were not slaves. Everything functioned ALOT better and there was WAY less corruption. So YOU do YOUR research before speaking about apartheid.
Chilli j....u are just talking crap...what do you know about what black people where going through....if they were happy with the situation they would have not fought for freedom now would they...
@@chillij8658 why lower grades required for them to pass Haibo .
The thing with us Africans is a victim mentality we think because we have been oppressed we deserve that the bar be lowered for us . That is madness
God gegewe en mooi!!!
THE MOST BEAUTIFUL NATIONAL ATHEM OF SOUTH AFRICA FOR AFRIKANER
Hy wapper altyd nog hoog, diep binne, in my hart. Eendag sal hy weer hoog bo wapper!
Totally agree sir!!
Ja dit gaan eendag
Ek hoop van harte dat dit sal❤
WHINERS....all of you. get with the program and realise you are in 2011. You cant live in the past whether its nostalgic or filled with horrors. dare to dream. this is a new world for both black and white .
South Africa for ALL South Africans.
Black, White, Brown and everything in between! (Y)
Well I might be born in the new South Africa this is a beautiful national anthem
We are all human. We all breathe air. We all drink water. We all live together. Nobody is better, greater, more important to the heavens than anyone else. When we finally take notice of this fact, humanity can progress and become stronger. Until then, we are broken. We can all be proud of our cultures and heritages without feeling the need to stamp out someone else's or say they are inferior to us because they do not believe the same way, or speak like us or look like us.
Gay and naive
No it's over for this anthem to still be here
Groete uit Holland...
For a South Africa like the one of this anthem but without apartheid and with democracy, and, including namibia, and of course with this flag and anthem :)
HasanMurat, what a nice, western-sounding European name...
I've always thought that the tune sounds much like (if not the same) as 'The Star Spangled Banner' of the USA. And, both were (& are) 4 verses, with only the first one played.
POV: Jody Scheckter wins a race in the 1970s.
All men are not created equal. this is the law of nature.
Wow ... I left the land of my fathers so long ago now ... joined with Gen. Viljoen to stop the treason and after the YES vote just left .... retired farmer in Quebec and yet how this resonates ... my youth and that of my peers are buried in those sorry and sad sands of SWA / Angola ... and all for nothing as our people are currently on level 6 of Genocide Watch International with level 7 outright extermination .... how tragic!
The question perhaps is: What are the alternatives?
ONORE AL SUD AFRICA BIANCO!
You are very correct about that :)
My brother
@OfficerHollaway92
Why would you say that?
Proud to have South African blood not proud that they pushed down others tho.
Please watch: South African farm murders a curse of God's Laws short version
Baltis100 how the fuck did you link a video like that
Empire was the problem not the solution
@Aurelian603 well said!
Yeah
This is a nice song. The Dutch always have great taste, as is the case with their anthem Wilhelmus. But fuck the era it represents. The new one is just as beautiful if not better. Strong sense of unity. Racism will perish!
@Sw0rdf15h01 I'm black & completely agree with u.
Papawê belgië nij Oranje Vrystaat
@Pattab121 You mean RIP civilisation in general.
@squizz01 well more then before i guess
this. was. an evil. flag. we've suffered a lot under this flag
@undead9999 il sudafrica da mandela in poi è stato un totale fallimento e non mi fare discorsi da anima bella
@undead9999 e l'inglese lo conosco benissimo
It would be fun if they made a mistake during a international match of the springboks and played this song instead of the new one :)
Jrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr,ek het gehuil.
@czyman1997 You = Wishful thinking
@VideoFreeMichael you mean the old south africa? where everyone got their own homeland and black unemployment was only a measly 20%, instead of 60% today? We were once Africa's powerhouse and our growth rate has averaged that to when SA was in the great depression in the 1930s. We averaged 8%+ growth in the 60s and 10%+ growth in the seventies, yet we cant even hit 6% since 1994? how embarrasing. and then to make matters worse we're kicked out of our only homeland.. pathetic if you ask me RIP SA
@undead9999 come si dice in inglese DRINK THE KOOL AID
For donald trump
@herman409 That was unnecessary... Seriously!
ehhhh ehhhhh no it wassnnnnt
Trots !!!!
yeah, apartheid would have survived you naive -I don't even want to use the word.
@Pattab121 never white always black !
Is this what Islam teaches you, Turkic immigrant?
anthem is accualy
N' kosi sikeleli i Afrika not this D:
Sad to see there are still so many racists around, on both sides of the argument. Get over yourselves...
I am from south Africa die old flag is were my mom was born in 1983 and I was born on we new south Africa flag like Wis 🇿🇦 I'm 10 I will be south Africa new president Godzilla and name Jurassic land on south Africa's land I will be stronger military 🪖🎖️ and better I'm white
The girl I liked was a white south african but she didn't like me so that sucks but it is what is, nevertheless I'll never like your country no offense, it is what it is.
While I don't support apartheid politics, I think this is truly a beautiful anthem.
The new post-apartheid anthem actually incorporates this one. The first part of it is a pan-African song used by the anti-apartheid movement, and it ends with the old Die Stem van Suid-Afrika song. Nelson Mandela's idea was for both songs to be merged to symbolize national unity.
Yeah you'd rather live in a rubbish dump under afro-communist rule. Coward.
@@flinfaraday1821 just because somebody doesn't support apartheid, it doesn't mean they'd prefer to live under socialism. Regardless of how you feel about SA today, the country is better off without apartheid.
@@flinfaraday1821 tf?
@@nickysimi9866 it's better off without apartheid but not necessarily how the apartheid used to run the economy.
The best Anthem written the sound is beautiful i wil walk with this Flag in the streets i am proud so proud of this Anthem most amazing beautiful wonderful Anthem some call is a red lorry he didn't know how a lorry look lack of education poor soul then the colour he sees orange as red poor soul uneducated.......Orange stands for Holy Gost.....White Jesus Blood washes you Whiter than snow and Blue is the Heaven Hallelujah Amen Praise the Lord our Whites salute this SA Anthem and Salute the Lord for giving that auther the words for this Wonderful Anthem AMEN AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Goede liedjes, mijn broers.
From Nederland ^.^
Fantastic song that will reighn in our hearts forever
this song gives me goosebumps.
Makes me feel proud and warm inside my chest !!!!
Miss this anthem
No...you miss apartheid !!
@@truth-Hurts375 where’s the problem?
@@truth-Hurts375 how is missing a song missing Apartheid?
You see thats the problem with this shithole now, anything Apartheid era thats nice you shit on because it is from that era, I can play my anthem and raise my flag anytime I want, it's not a crime and it's not racist, you just made it racist because you don't like it
@@sovietred7371 okay😂😂 i always wonder why afrikaans was added in the new south african anthem it makes it horrible but ohh well mandela wanted us to be united
@@thembiaugustinezondi280 Whole country economy built by them and they under pressure agreed for democracy. That’s why Die Stem is in the anthem
Congratulations for your national holiday on 21st March South Africa from your friends in Germany
I wish the same for your nation my Germanic friend.
self rightuous idiots like colin silk may prefer england whilst. earning his money in south africa i love south africa.
No matter politics this anthem and flag is superior.
Watch how South Africa looks 17 Years after Apartheid
It looks more and more a the rest of Africa
...and what on earth has that got to do with this song???
are you trying to suggest apartheid was good for south africa?
because i can fully promise you it wasn't.
It's actually improving but ok.
Its better then apartheid
Congratulations for your national holiday on 16th December South Africa from your friends in Germany
Wow, 16th December is the day of independence of Kazakhstan
@@fr_T_T It's not south africa's independence day, it's the day the "Slag van bloed rivier" happend.
@@hardusclaase ok
@kleurerl376 very vicious figth sad they no longer learn it in school
@esilkie the Boers were actullay presecuted French, German, & Swiss Protestants, who fled Europe and out of desperation courageously settled in South Africa. I suppose if you were a Zulu living under Shaka it was a good time since you oppressed all the other South African clans. I think the Europeans did more good to South Africa than they did harm. Correct if I'm wrong, but the Africans don't have a sterling record for when it comes to governing themselves, no?
The bóers ere mostly of Dutch descent.
I'm never been in South Africa, but I think, this anthem was better
Better than the new one, which looks like sounds from the forest.
Ringing out from our blue Heavens,
From our deep Seas breaking around;
Over everlasting Mountains,
Where the echoing Crags resound.
From our Plains where creaking Wagons,
Cut their Trails into the Earth,
Calls the Spirit of our Forefathers,
From the Land that gave us Birth.
We shall not falter at your Call,
Firm and steadfast, we shall stand!
To live or to perish at your Will -
South Africa - our beloved Land!
Gruß aus Deutschland!
Ich frage mich, warum böse Länder die besten Hymnen haben.
@@BeryAb was heißt denn in in diesem Fall überhaupt ''böse''?
@@j.t1984 Rassentrennung.
Der Apartheid-Staat sagte seinen Bürgern, ihre "Rasse" sollte voraussagen, mit wem sie sich anfreunden sollen, wen sie heiraten, wo sie leben und zur Schule gehen, ja sogar welches Waschbecken sie nutzen sollten. Und Nicht-Weiße durften nicht mal in die Regierung.
Als wäre das nicht schlimm genug, war das ganze sogar auf dem afrikanischen Kontinent.
@@BeryAb Was ist denn falsch daran?
@@DieReaktion Oje, ich meine, ich kenne deinen Namen von irgendwoher.
Fok dis 'n mooi lied.
Ek mis die land wat ons gehad het
Toe jy trots op hierdie land kon wees
Ons sal.lewe ons sal sterwe ons vir jou.Suid Afrika.Moenie vergeet nie!
I love the flags within a flag within a flag. When you can't decide which flag to go with.
Yeah that's not what it's about.
The Van Riebeeckvlag was created because the British didn't want the Boers to rebel.
It consists of the Dutch Prinsenvlag, and in the center there is the Union jack, then the flag of Orange Free State and then the flag of the South African Republic or Transvaal
My brother boers
Thus spoke the Brit.
Say, is it true the first concentration camps were British, and Boers were interned in them?
Canale con le cose belle Yes, for this reason the Dutch almost choosed the german side during WW1
Dennis Van Den Nouweland it's 'Chose' not "Choosed"
Anton Mussert was right.
*ASB* ps There was no good reason for a second world war. Only one 'group' of people wanted and got it.
The first concentration camps were built by the Spanish in Cuba during the Spanish American War in 1898.
Beautiful
RIP South Africa.
But it sounds exactly the same as a part of your current national anthem???
The last part is the same but the wrest of the current anthem is the same
DIE STEM VAN DIE APARTHEID MAAR DIE MUSIK IS MOOI
Die Stem sounds great as part of the NEW anthem .
Thank God times have changed.
Looking foreward to hearing Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrika played in Wellington tomorrow...
GO BOKKE !
Honestly, despite this being used by a racist regime, this anthem is really peaceful and describes the country of South Africa really well.
That regime had the country actually functioning, unlike today.
@@footballnick2 at what cost
@@ATIMELINEOFAVIATION The cost of having the people causing the most trouble in instability having to be restricted I suppose. Apartheid definitely wasn't implemented the best, but I'm sure whites in South Africa miss it, and some of the well off blacks too I imagine simply because the country is a pigsty with failing infrastructure like the rest of Africa now .
@@footballnick2 so you think racism is ok as long as a minority gets the benifits
@@ATIMELINEOFAVIATION I'm okay with "racism" as long as nobody is harmed and can get a job and have a family. There's a stark difference between malicious racial hatred and a paternalistic outlook on racial co-existence.
Hoendervleis en die vlag
Hoendervleis zeggen we niet in Nederland, maar wel herkenbaar. Hoenders en vleis zijn beide spreektaal woorden in het Goerees en Zeeuws
It was not the Anthem from 1957! It was adopted as an Anthem in 1936 and was sung alongside God Save the King until 1957 when it became the only Anthem of South Africa.
@squizz01 i like the new anthem better,i like the fact that everybody sings it together now.dont you think?
Actually no. They were American I believe used in the Spanish American War.in the late 1800s
SIMPLY THE BEST ANTHEM FOR SOUTH AFRICA. SALMAN RUSHDIE PLEASE HELP SOUTH AFRICA
copy that. mankind is not nice.
@Sw0rdf15h01 Very good comment, indeed.
I love the new one also.
excellent feedback.
Nonsense anthem
It's better than today's anthem
I love Hillbrow, lovely neighbourhood.
Go back and live there
