Love it, love it. Wish there was more of the show and how they all came together.

[Sting0NL]

This looks like dutch, i can understand everyting. Great!!!

[booglain]

right someone who knows more about this than me why do they appear out of thin air at the start is it just the video editor tryin to be cool or what

[heralynn]

It's just because after David invited Billy and Mary on the stage there was several minutes of commentary. For this video clip, the editor wanted to introduce who the musicians on the stage are, and then play the song.

Lyrics seem to be " Jesus my ieland, hy is alles vir my" = "Jesus is my island, he is everything for me"

[LeeTchate]

that should be "jesus mijn HEILAND"; heiland means saviour.

Beautiful!

It shows something different from Hannes. Afrikaans is similiar to Dutch, but still I couldn't follow the lyrics properly...

It has to do with the sound quality too though

[pappaja1983]

Ek weet nie watse dagga het jy in die geskiedenis klas gerook nie, want sover ek weet is afrikaans gevorm deur die Nederlanstalige Protestante, wat in die kaap aangekom het, en oor tyd het hulle die nederlandse taal makliker gemaak. Kyk dit bietjie op, om te se dit kom van die slawe af is om ons hele kultuur in die gesig te klap.

@Rekatar- That's wrong- it is a mixure of Dutch, French and German developed by the settlers in South Africa. They really didn't settle in Capetown much. The British were more interested in Capetown when they tried to conquer it so they would have a trade route. The Afrikaaners have never been slaves.

Any idea of the lyrics for this song? It's really hard to tell....nice though!

[lilwarbler]

it is a gospel song written in Afrikaans, hannes's first language. i don't remember the entire translation into english, but the song is about Jesus, my savior. glad you enjoyed it. billy and i really had an amazing time getting to know and making music with david and hannes.

Love how Mary Lucey keeps hold of the old gospel tradition while seeking a new world music twist!

[Rekatar]

wow thanks for that. is david kramer religous?

[heralynn]

I'm not sure what David's religious preference is. Hannes, the African man singing, belongs to the church in his hometown in South Africa.
