Our Heritage

So how we doing? Oh... Oh... Oh...

The spring has arrived in Southern Africa
Not a cloud in the sky
Only flames in our eyes
As if everybody seems to know what time it is
Time for a braai
It's time to have some fun

I hear those voices until late at night
All together and we feel all right, all right
I see their faces in the golden light
All together and we feel all right, all right
Feeling alright, hope you feeling alright people...

We stand united at the bonfire
We raise our glasses to the clear, blue sky
Tell me your story and I'll tell you mine
Things will be better and I'm feeling fine

I hear those voices until late at night
All together and we feel all right, all right
I see their faces in the golden light
All together and we feel all right, all right
I'm alright, are you?

Try picturing a whole lotta people out at my place
Everybody chilling. Re dibusa1 by the fire place
I'll be in the back, marinating on the braaivleis
Beer's in the KEG, Pierre is bringing out the wine case
It's a known phrase, o jo re rata go braaya2
If you got no space chessa nyama o kaya3
If you're not disgraced, say it loud "BRAAI DAY IS MY DAY"
Even ka Labone4 I treat it like it's a Friday

So it's a fly (so it's a fly day)
We call it a braai day e ne we do it our way
Cause it's so Mzansi5
Happy times are so naturalle in our country
Re rata6 sunshine
Pull out your smiles come on lets have a fun time
I'll call Jabba and SGC 'cause in SA Die Heuwels is so Fantasties!

I hear those voices until late at night
All together and we feel all right, all right
I see their faces in the golden light
All together and we feel all right, all right

I hear those voices

All together and we feel all right, all right

Braai please!
