I did my National Service with HMRM (1959-61 - 937 squad & 45 Commando) Then spent many years in S.A. Sarie Marais is a tribute to the Boer fighters and is really the regimental march of RM Commandos. Fills me with nostalgia and pride when played with our band.
My Sarie Marais is so ver van my hart, Maar ek hoop om haar weer te sien. Sy het in die wyk van die Mooirivier gewoon, Nog voor die oorlog het begin. Chorus: O bring my terug na die ou Transvaal, Daar waar my Sarie woon. Daar onder in die mielies, by die groen doring boom, Daar woon my Sarie Marais, Daar onder in die mielies by die groen doringboom Daar woon my Sarie Marais. Ek was so bang, dat die Kakies my sou vang En ver oor die see wegstuur; Toe vlug ek na die kant van die Upington se sand Onder langs die groot Rivier. Chorus Die Kakies is mos net soos 'n krokodil, 'n pes, Hulle sleep jou altyd water toe; Hul gooi jou op 'n skip vir 'n lange, lange trip, Die josie weet waarnatoe. Chorus Verlossing het gekom en huis toe gaan was daar, Terug na die ou Transvaal; My lieflingspersoon sal seker ook daar wees Om my met 'n soen te beloon. Chorus

My Sarie Marais is so ver van my hart,
Maar ek hoop om haar weer te sien.
Sy het in die wyk van die Mooirivier gewoon,
Nog voor die oorlog het begin.
Chorus:
O bring my terug na die ou Transvaal,
Daar waar my Sarie woon.
Daar onder in die mielies, by die groen doring boom,
Daar woon my Sarie Marais,
Daar onder in die mielies by die groen doringboom
Daar woon my Sarie Marais.
Ek was so bang, dat die Kakies my sou vang
En ver oor die see wegstuur;
Toe vlug ek na die kant van die Upington se sand
Onder langs die groot Rivier.
Chorus
Die Kakies is mos net soos 'n krokodil, 'n pes,
Hulle sleep jou altyd water toe;
Hul gooi jou op 'n skip vir 'n lange, lange trip,
Die josie weet waarnatoe.

Verlossing het gekom en huis toe gaan was daar,
Terug na die ou Transvaal;
My lieflingspersoon sal seker ook daar wees
Om my met 'n soen te beloon.

Baie dankie vir die woorde! ( an ex South African , nearly 40 years in the UK, not heard this since I left!!, did my National Service in Potch!!)
Baie baie mooi. By voorbaat dank 😊
Used to watch the bands with my parents every Sunday's
Love it ! ... Transvaal
You got correct sir
Or is it mame
forever transvaal
That was so cool
Tourists getting in the way. Bloody civvies. Good effort!
Where are all the spectators? Was this event a secret?? These talented musicians deserve far better.
This was a rehearsal for a Beat Retreat a couple of days later, its deliberately early in the morning when there are less people around
@@jamesdalyhistory Thank you for this information.
You see! Now you Britz. Ouch Sarie Mareer is a age old song from South Africa
It's always been the march of the British Commandos, Army and Marines. We didn't just pinch the name when Churchill ordered their formation 🙂
Associated with Boer Kommando formations, from which the name Commando originates
Churchill choose this march for the commandos , which he created , because of his admiration of the Boer commandos.
Also known as the Commando March
why are there tenor drums in the band
