Ek weet nie hoe die Afrikaners die Jakarandastad nou noem nie, maar in Nederlands sal dit altyd Pretoria bly! - Groete uit Nederland

@kradensteiger Last verse :) And I know that the country must represent everyone together. But is makes so many people hurt. If all those old names perish. Pretoria, Pretoria, I will never forget your name.

@uzziah120000 Sorry; first verse, penultimate line *So many years, he draws on the name of a place.

[uzziah120000]

@kradensteiger Mercifully we stand by uncle Paul on the square and feel small. GOD has kept us. But tears walk slowly so softly through my mother, she asks, and wonder, were we worth nothing then. So many years, she draws on the name of a place. So many years, we must now let go.

@kradensteiger Pretoria, you were always still there. Because you lie in my safe place, I call you my house. I never forget your name. Pretoria, what if my child asks me, is the name then so serious, so bitter and bad. Why are you throwing it away?
