Lyrics:
Ou man sit by die straatkafees
En kyk al die mense loop heen-en-weer
Boemelaars raas by die Wimpy Bar
En Fontana is oop tot laat in die aand
Kaalvoet kinders in die straat, wys parkeerplek aan
En hou dan die hand, en hou dan die hand
En hou oop die hand, ja
En gee, gee, gee. Gee, gee, gee
Jou sente, jou drome, jou klere vol gate
Gee jou hart vir Hillbrow
Ja, gee jou hart vir Hillbrow
In Quartz Straat hoor ek n meisie my roep
Daars n Hare Krishna wat vra wat ek soek
En ken ek vir Jesus? Vra n man op die stoep
Tussen Hillbrow records en Estoril Books
En dis lank na twaalfuur
En die Hillbrow toring stuur
Sy seine in die nag, sy sein in die nag
Sy sein vir die junkies wat wag, o
En gee, gee, gee. Gee, gee, gee
Jou sente, jou drome, jou toekoms vol gate
Gee jou hart vir Hillbrow
Ja, gee jou hart vir Hillbrow
En die ligte gaan aan in die Chelsea Hotel
En stemme en musiek klink in elke woonstel
Ons sit in die son, drink wyn
Ons survive met 'n helse lot pyn in hierdie land, ja
Kom ons drink op die een wat sy drome oorleef
Op die een wat kry wat hy vra, ja
En gee, gee, gee. Gee, gee, gee
Jou sente jou drome, jou toekoms vol gate
Gee jou hart vir Hillbrow
Ja, gee jou hart vir Hillbrow
Komaan, gee jou hart vir Hillbrow

Nothing is the same than 30 years ago, bro....

My beloved Hillbrow!

RIP Johannes Kerkorrel! One of my favourite songs, thank you so much for uploading the video. Just did the Hillbrow walk with Dlala Nje last week. Too bad that the neighborhood looks different now, but things a slowly changing for the better.

That’s amazing to hear. Did you feel safe there? Really want to visit Hillbrow but the horror stories have put me off. Have heard parts of the CBD are quite safe now with private security and absolutely thriving which is wonderful to hear.

[@yourfriendlyneighbourhoods8202]

@@lynottlivesit’s better to just avoid hillbrow altogether. Not worth the risk

[@lynottlives]

@@yourfriendlyneighbourhoods8202 Ja I can imagine, along with the rest of inner city Jozi!

It felt edgy in Hillbrow in the early 90s. We had no idea!

[@beatieschoeman]

One of the best videos! ❤

[@montxsuz]

[@paulgrove1407]

I remember walking through Hillbrow with friends in 1990. We bought some streetkids burgers from Bimbos.

Amazing video. I had never seen it. Was this made in 1989 or after? Fantastic historical footage.
