I am truly amazed by the impeccable German pronunciation, the joy radiating from the faces of the choir members, and the fantastic arrangement. This performance is a testament to the choir's talent and dedication. Bravo
Frohe Weihnachten and happy Hollidays.
My favorite choir singing an beautiful euphoric song from my country.
Thank you so much!
SUC uploads...my day just got 10x better. Andre Van der Merwe should be nominated for some kind of lifetime achievement award. The consistency with this choir, despite annual turnover, is just mind-blowing. Bravo
The best thing I love about this choir is the conductor!
The Choristers are super amazing as well, but the conductor is doing an amazing job.
Dieser Chor begeistert mich jedes Mal! Ihr seid großartig!!Hoffentlich kann ich euch irgendwann einmal life erleben. Ein Hoch auf Euch! Viele Grüße aus Deutschland 🇩🇪 💞 🇿🇦
Sie sind einfach großartig!
Watching it again and again. STUNNING!!!
One of my favorite activities is to watch the faces of the singers in this choir, theyre all so expressive
Best wishes to South Africa. The best choir in the world. Merry Christmas from Germany
So eine Überraschung. Gemeinschaft in Sport und Spiel. Gemeinschaft und Begegnung. Wünsche eine gesegnete Weihnacht
Its crazy to hear a German Pop song from a South African Choir, i am impressed by this outstanding performance! The pronunciation of the German words are spot on!
I can’t even begin to imagine how this conductor’s brain works to be able to arrange music like this. Along with singing the actual song, the choir sounds like they’re accompanied by a full orchestra. It’s beyond amazing. 🇨🇦
Ein Hoch auf den Stellenbosch University Choir! Phantastisch! Vielen Dank!
Wow!! I'm a German speaking South African that completed my MBChB at Stellenbosch University in 2019. This makes me so proud. Well done guys!
Klasse! Dankeschön. Ein Hoch auf Euch! Well done!!

Wow, was für eine wunderschöne Version dieses Liedes.Und ich liebe Andreas Bourani. Und auch euren Chor, ihr berührt mich regelmässig tief im Herzen. Danke an euch alle, ihr wundervollen Sänger und Sängerinen❤

The world feels completely broken, full of bad news all day long. But you, you are the little piece of freedom in my world.
Greetings from Germany.
Ein Hoch auf euch, ihr tollen Sänger, und natürlich auf das großartige Arrangement von Andre van der Merwe.🖤❤🧡
I never expected a german song, but they chose one of the best (my opinion)
This makes me so happy right now and it sounds really really amazing!
At the risk of being repetitive, you are WONDERFUL! You are a feast for the eyes and ears! Great performance as always!!!
Wooow 😁 Mein Lieblingslied, Gänsehaut, Freudentränen, ein Feuerwerk aus Endorphinen einfach wunderschön 🥰
Just watching André van der Merwe conduct this is pure joy! Thank you for bringing so much happiness to life with this incredible piece of work!
Absolutely awe-inspiring 💖💖 A positive, uplifting, joyful and hopeful theme. Just what the world needs.
❤ deutsch..... Ihr seit ja klasse, ich mag den Song sehr nicht nur wegen Fußball ❤ danke gern mehr davon, vielleicht von Silbermond Symphonie
Tolle Arrangements der Lieder durch den Chorleiter. Alle Sängerinnen und Sänger übermitteln den Zuhörern ihre Begeisterung an dem gemeinschaftlichen Singen. Einfach wunderschön anzuhören. Würde mich freuen, solltet ihr einmal im Ruhrgebiet auftreten. Ihr würdet Begeisterungsstürme ernten. Wünsche dem gesamten Chor weiterhin viel Freude beim Musizieren und viel Erfolg.
I had to read the title twice. I didn't expect you to sing a German song. But I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it. Thank you all!
I follow you since day one and cannot believe you did a German song 😳 my mother tongue - it fits perfect ❤
Wow, this is great! Your pronunciation...perfect! To See you live is my dream when I visit South Africa the next time. Love from Germany 😍
Ja, Stellenbosch University habe ich auch auf meiner Have-to-visit-Liste für nächstes Jahr!!!!
Maestro van der Merwe is a GENIUS! Glory to SUC!!
For anyone wondering, what this german song means:
Who freezes this moment for us?
It can't get any better.
Think of the days that lie behind us,
How long we've shared joy and tears.
Here, everyone would go through fire for each other,
In the rain, we never stand alone.
And as long as our hearts guide us,
It will always be this way.
A toast to what lies ahead,
That it will be the best for us.
A toast to what unites us,
To this time (to this time).
A toast to us, us
To this life,
To the moment
That always remains.
A toast to us, us
To now and forever,
To a day
Of infinity.
We have wings, swear eternal loyalty,
We gild this day for ourselves.
(One love) a lifetime without regret,
From the first step to the grave.
Thank you for this! It somehow makes the performance seems even more perfect knowing the meaning of it.
Thank you! Beautiful words!
Magic! ✨ Einfach nur Perfekt! 🙌🏼 Ein großes Dankeschön! Liebe Grüße von einer deutschen Chorsängerin. 🫶🏼
Wow, I'm totally blown away! You really have to perform this live here in Germany. We sang it ourselves with our choir, but your energy and the arrangement is absolutely amazing... like every song you sing! Bravo!
That’s the perfect Christmas gift! Thanks André and Stellenbosch University Choir for that awesome performance! Greets from Germany and merry Christmas to y’all!

As a German I can't imagine how hard it is to correctly sing and pronunciate, but it sounds very natural. Well done with a beautiful choir sound!

Its a salute or toast and the translation is "to us"

The richness of voices, contrasting loud and soft and faultless conducting make this choir master Andre van der Westhuizen a nominee for an
Honorary Doctorate or another greater, higher
