    @СергійСергієнко-с7з 3 ปีที่แล้ว +258

    Meanings:
    Mukkas: Means friend. It is derived from English slang term ‘mucker’, which means the same thing.
    Tot siens: Means ‘goodbye’ in Afrikaans.
    JOC: Joint Operations Centre.
    Ek se: A popular Afrikaans catchphrase added to the end of any sentence. Very popular among young Rhodesians in the mid 70’s. Ultimately meaningless.
    Mont Claire: Popular hotel in Rhodesia, later the target of an attack by ZANLA guerrillas.
    FN: It's an abbreviation for ‘Fabrique Nationale’ , which is a prolific arms manufacturing company from Belgium. In this case, FN means FN FAL, a famous battle rifle which was a standard equipment of Rhodesian Security Forces at the time.
    RL: Bedford RL is a military utility truck at the time used by the RSF.
    Kwai it to the North Pole: Blow it to the North Pole, eg. blow it to smithereens. Kwai, used as verb, is a reference to the 50’s movie The Bridge on the River Kwai, where an Allied commando is tasked with destroying a railway bridge.
    The Parade Square: The parade square at the Llewelyn Barracks, a military base near the Bulawayo city.
    Graze: Rhodesian slang for food.
    Lekker: Lekker is South African/Rhodesian slang for ‘ood’ or ‘attractive’.
    Blues: Nickname for the Rhodesian Air Force.
    Greys: Most likely refering to Greys Scouts.
    RWS: Rhodesian Woman’s Services.

      Kwaai is Afrikaans for cross or mean. Or even vicious as in a dog or person. But also used in the reverse as in something enjoyable. Much as sick is used in English to explain a fast car etc.
      Nothing to with the bridge in Burma at all.

    Lyrics:
    It's a long way to Mukumbura
    It's a long way to jawl
    It's a long way from your hometown
    But you can have yourselves a ball
    With your mukkas
    Goodbye Bulawayo, tot siens Cecil Square
    It's a long, long way to Mukumbura And we're going up there to stir
    It's a long way to JOC Inyanga
    It's a long way, ek se
    It's a long way from Umtali
    But it's wide tar all the way
    Well, nearly
    Goodbye to the Cecil
    Hello the Mont Claire
    It's a long, long way to JOC Inyanga
    And the crowd's fighting there
    It's a long way to Kariba
    It's a long way to run
    It's a long way from Mukute
    But you can do it on your THUMB
    With your FN
    We love our Sergeant Major, when he drives it on RL
    When he takes us on the bush road It's just like going to
    Heaven, I'm in Heaven
    It's a long way to Llewelyn
    It's a long way on the train
    We can kwai it to the North Pole, But they'd build one just the same
    The parade square
    We all dig the stoppies, haircuts and the graze
    And if we really scheme it's lekker when we start on our first phase
    For the Mortars
    Action, disarm look again
    They're so loud
    For the Blues
    Changa to echo base
    Homing call required over
    Chopper coming
    For the Instructors
    One check your rear aperture
    Two move your wetty bars to the rear
    For the Greys
    You fool private the tails at the back
    For Signals
    Hello two this is one over
    Hello, one this is one too are you one two?
    For the Medics
    This water cannot be drunk until it has been passed by the M.O
    For the Cops
    No madam that’s not what we use Vickers for
    You want the pest control vehicle
    For the RWS
    Ah, Becky, I can't make up my mind
    Whether to wear the green or blue eyeshadow
    To weapons training today
    For the Techs
    Now you chaps are expected to be keeping this keep
    As it should be kept
    The keep does not keep itself
    For the Engineers
    That’s not a flocculent
    You idiot that’s soap powder
    It's a long way to Mukumbura
    It's a long way to jawl
    It's a long way from your home town
    But you can have yourself a ball
    With your mukkas
    Goodbye Bulawayo, tot siens Cecil Square
    It's a long, long way to Mukumbura
    And we're going up there to stir

    • @glendodds3824
      @glendodds3824 6 ปีที่แล้ว +51

      Yes, Afrikaans was the mother tongue of some white Rhodesians. Moreover, some Afrikaans words were used in everyday speech by Rhodesians of British origin. For example, a barbecue was normally called a braaivleis (or braai) and lekker was often used instead of 'nice.'
      Finally, here's an example of Afrikaans being spoken in a recent episode of a South African soap opera: th-cam.com/video/LwQdaQt8P1A/w-d-xo.html

    hospitals,
    plenty of affordable food and health care
    universities,
    a thriving economy,
    plenty of petrol and diesel at the fuel stations
