Delarey Song Lyrics Meaning In English
On a mountain at night
We lie in the dark and wait
In the mud and blood I lie cold
Striped bag and rain clinging to me
And my house and my farm burned to the ground
So they can catch us
But those flames and fire
Burning deep, deep inside me now
De La Rey, De La Rey
Will you come and lead the Boers?
De La Rey, De La Rey
General, General
As one man, we will fall for you
General De La Rey
About the Khakis laughing
A handful of us against a very large force
And the cliffs lie here against our backs
They think it’s over
But the heart of a Boer
Lay deeper and wider
They are still going to see it
He arrives on a horse
The Lion of the Western Transvaal
De La Rey, De La Rey
Will you come and lead the Boers?
De La Rey, De La Rey
General, General
As one man, we will fall for you
General De La Rey
De La Rey, De La Rey will you come and lead the Boers?
De La Rey, De La Rey
General, General
As one man, we will fall for you
General De La Rey
Because my wife and my child
Lay in a camp and perish
And the Khakis’ marrow overflows
A nation that will rise again
De La Rey, De La Rey
Will you come and lead the Boers?
De La Rey, De La Rey
General, General
As one man, we will fall for you
General De La Rey
De La Rey, De La Rey
Will you come and lead the Boers?
De La Rey, De La Rey
General, General
As one man, we will fall for you
General De La Rey
General, General
Will you come and get the Boers?
