[@geetaandrade368]

Having lived in Australia for more than 30 years I am still homesick for SA, and this morning that little song "my boy lollipop" did not go out of my mind and I googled it. Heck, I found it and now I have been looking at all the things on this site and am going crazy. I am laughing and dancing and want to hop onto the next plane. Thing is, I am71 yrs old and cannot hop any longer very far. But the hop has not gone out of me yet lol Thanks to all the artists here, I love you all!

You can remove yourself from South Africa, But South Africa will never remove you. Legend, thanks for the input!!

[@aandrei99]

It's almost that time again, good luck from Romania! Try not to beat us too hard

[@nzpatriot2009]

COME ON BOKS! BRING BACK THE PASSION BOYS!!!! I WANT TO SEE YOU IN THE NEXT WORLD CUP FINAL, I MISS THE REAL HARD FOUGHT RUGBY THAT YOU GUYS USED TO BRING TO US! Massive respect from NZ, just want to see you back in the top where you belong :)

[@theobernardkleynhans6358]

I am South African and just want those competitive tests we used to have. Most respect for NZ. True rugby giant and we were once up there. You could feel the respect between the two nations but sadly its almost gone due to certain stuff in our country.

[@theobernardkleynhans6358]

Want to see SA and NZ dominating world rugby again. Where other nations tuned in to see the match between the giants.

[@MrPaulharrison77]

This song is AWESOME!!!! It gets my blood flowing!!!!! HAAAAAA!!!!!!

[@joehaffo5254]

Baie mooi liedjie robbie

[@adpatza]

Hi Jason. It is about 2 different events, namely during the 1995 Rugby World Cup game between South Africa and Samoa, and another 2007 world cup game. During the 1997 game the son-in-law hit uncle Lourens when they had an argument about not supporting the Boks. In 2007, uncle Lourens prepared himself by watching Rocky 1-5, and then revenged the humilation of 1997.

[@jancovanderwesthuizen8070]

"In my huis skree jy nie vir wie jy wil nie, ek ruk jou strot uit dat jy glad nie meer kan gil nie"

[@Jaydee__]

Janco van der Westhuizen fok😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@adpatza]

General comments: There is some slang in this song, and a bit of word substitution from English. Not purist Afrikaans, but nothing major. Also, the game Robbie sings about is actually the 1995 final against the New Zealand All Blacks, where the Boks won 15-12. In the game against (Western) Samoa, the Boks won 42-14.

[@pecuso]

I love this song, robbie is the beste! I hear this song on my pc here in México! lekker, lekker!

[@williedewet7869]

Love die liedjie. Dis awesome. Favourite song

[@nzpatriot2009]

WOOOOOHOOOOOOO!!!! Great game brothers! What we saw on saturday night was EXACTLY what im talking about! Welcome back Bokkies! Keep it up and we'll see some stellar rugby between our two great nations in the world cup next year! :) Huge respect from NZ :)

[@dkt8102]

Ekt n groot poster van die 95 drop kick in my plek. Speel die song klip hard

[@MultiTilburg013]

zuid afrikaans echt een mooie taal die harde R die doet het hem. daar hebben die mietjes in Amsterdam nog wat van te leren van dat mooie accent/taal

[@innocenttakawira9819]

with my very limited understanding of the Afrikaans language, I like this version of Eye of the Tiger more than the original.

[@adpatza]

1) Uncle Lourens has never really been fit. If you ask him what makes him happy, he says "Nothing". His always in his place, always a little bit drunk. He likes biltong and dry wors, and rugby. But yesterday, something started brewing - he went jogging, and cycling, and rowing. Exactly ten days before the Boks play Western Samoa, a parcel arrives with Rocky Balboa 1-5. He thinks back to 1995: The crowd, the fires and the vibe; the Amarula cream and Kaluha; and the theme song from Rocky Balboa.

[@adpatza]

6) There is tangible tension in the air. Uncle Lourens welcomes everyone back. Its 2007, his lip starts quivering when Brent shows up wearing a Western Samoa jersey. "How about a shooter, my old friend", uncle Lourens asks first. Up to shooter number 11, cola tonic for himself and Stroh rum for his son-in-law, Brent. It is World Cup 2007 - there is excitement, socialising and life. There's Amarula cream and Kaluha, and the Boks are playing Western Samoa.

[@nzpatriot2009]

Bloody catchy! :) Best of luck boys, always look forward to the Allblacks meeting the Boks on the field, always a worthy adversary! Cheers Bokkies, from NZ! :)

[@JailScrEENClint]

how quickly things change

[@nzpatriot2009]

Armitage Shanks True Armitage, but I hope to christ they get themselves another coach and come back with a vengeance, they are better than this.

[@cowboyup6744]

Not anymore, very sad. South Africa is very corrupt

[@nzpatriot2009]

Another good game brothers! Keep it coming! All blacks vs Boks world cup 2019! :)

[@pietervanbreda4360]

Let's Go Bokke 2023, moer hulle.

[@adpatza]

@cassieboy - Yes, it is 10 dae voor. It means 10 days before the game, as in 10 days before the Boks played Samoa. "Vir" means "for". "Voor" means "ahead of" in this context.

[@666mrnightshade]

yira fok ek is motivated lol i love robbie you doring lol

[@adpatza]

5) He thinks back to 1995: The crowd, the fires and the vibe; the Amarula cream and Kaluha; and the theme song from Rocky Balboa. He listens to Eye of the Tiger and again feels the hate; he feels the soil and the sweat in his hair. And the last survivor is laughing in his sleeve, and uncle Lourens is lying flat on his back.

[@dylanpotgieter2779]

Sy beste liedjie

[@nzpatriot2009]

Long live the commonwealth! Be it NZ or SA that wins, we all win! :) But of course I back NZ first! ;) Best of luck Bokkes, will be a great game, 3 hours and counting! :)

[@renierhough3268]

semi-finals 2015 RWC Bokke teen NZ. Dit gaan een epic game wees. Maak nie saak wie wen daar nie solank die cup suide toe kom waar hy hoort

[@nzpatriot2009]

+Renier Hough We look forward to it, genuine respect from NZ. Super stoked to see you beat Wales, had me on the edge of my seat :) Best of luck, hats off to the Bokkies :) Always a great adversary. Cheers boys! :)

[@renierhough3268]

Good luck to you to

[@wildehond1979]

love rugby

[@adpatza]

3) And he thinks back to the argument with his son-in-law Brent: "Uncle can shout as you like, I'll support whoever I want to. Its a free country, and you are not my father". He thinks back to 1995: The crowd, the fires and the vibe; the Boks, the Irish and Somoa; and the theme song from Rocky Balboa. He listens to Eye of the Tiger and again feels the hate; he feels the soil and the sweat in his hair. And the last survivor is laughing in his sleeve, and uncle Lourens is lying flat on his back.

[@thegulagarchipelago5921]

🤣🤣🤣 Actually a Great 🎵!!!! The "slang" is important to understand!!! The 44 of us will Know😉😉😉

[@angusmackenzie9897]

Hahahaha snaaks mate , is lief vir die lied , Maar die Springbokkie is my Geen # 1 Team !!!!! , Jaaaaaaa !!!! Groete uit Australia via Fort Victoria , Rhodesie

[@dwaynewessels8796]

Proudly, South African!

[@Akseliglooo3]

It's quite a dark song when you're able to understand it.

[@adpatza]

@EeuweB Hey EeuweB, glad to see you updated the video with the translation. If you need help with the Afrikaans lyrics, let me know. I haven't been on youtube lately, but will be happy to assist.

[@rdedoes]

Hi Euweb Minute 1:08 The words that is sung is : Hy luister "eye of a tiger" en hy voel weer die "hope" Translation reads He listens to Eye of the tiger and again feels the hate. I think the translation should be He listens to eye of the tiger and feel the hope again (not hate) but in context ,hate is more in contenxt to the story that he tells about brent. I love this vid

[@JasonRobards2]

is there a specific cultural or sports reference to this song? Or is it about a drinking competition a man and his son in law have during the rugby competition? I love it to hear a decent song in the *dutch* language. Seems like overhere they can only use it for schlagers and childrens songs.

[@christoveldsman6270]

kwaai robbie

[@stevenzweers5562]

Geweldig ja.

[@Benjamin-xh3hj]

Danke so das ist so das ist zu lehrnen love ruggby so auch wenn da keiner hir mit spield min.1:55 so so ston so sthisch so History so star

[@angelikao2358]

great, rugby is king teams games

[@ADawoodKiwi]

@TheDragenruler Ek verstaan dit! Hi5 boet! lol Gotta love Robbie Wessels!

[@adpatza]

2) He listens to Eye of the Tiger and again feels the hate; he feels the soil and the sweat in his hair. And the last survivor is laughing in his sleeve, and uncle Lourens is lying flat on his back. Wearing his boxing shorts, his bath robe and his cap he dances on his bed to Eye of the Tiger. On TV is Rocky 3, with his eyes on Mr T, he gets angrier and angrier and angrier.

[@JasonRobards2]

Ok, thx. Ik dacht trouwens al zoiets. Azo een zalig lied.

[@bokmad]

translation is pretty good, just one word - at 2.17 you say "hate", listened to it a few times, I think he is saying "hart" - heart in Afrikaans. Nice vid, thanks!

[@bluexxg]

ons vir die bokke in Spanje -World Rugby Cup 2011

[@adpatza]

4) Niekie is talking on "Radio sonder Grense" (Radio without Borders). On the photos, uncle Lourens looks at the people. He draws circles around Brent, and thinks back about the cement, against his teeth, nose and jaw. "In my house you don't support whoever you want. I'll rip out your adam's apple, so you can't shout any longer. And after the argument, oom Lourens hits the cement, and the Boks win 15-12.

[@ignusswart9618]

Awe awe manne

[@zjaanwaynekruger2187]

Bokkkeee 30 mins before 2023 final

[@BERNICEK8]

Bokkies vir ewig!!!

[@Master-ob5xz]

moet nie op gee nie :}

[@adpatza]

Hey EeuweB, since you ask nicely I'll translate/paraphrase the text - no real attention to grammar, though :-). Some Afrikaans metaphors don't make sense translated directly to English.

[@adpatza]

I realised I made an error in the translation, there is a word I didn't hear correctly in the song, in the chorus: "He listens to Eye of the Tiger and again feels the hate" should be "He listens to Eye of the Tiger and again feels the hit/shot."

[@seekoie]

um.... which up arrow?

[@adpatza]

7) Just before the Stem and Nkosi, Brent feels a bit faint. He feels nauscious and there's sweat in his hair. And the last survivor is laughing in his sleeve, he hits Brent so that he falls on his back. On his back.

[@ADawoodKiwi]

@bokmad Dit is hou, Ek dink. . . . en hy voel meer die hou. . .

[@Minetainment]

Dat is vry lekker

[@bokmad]

I stand corrected - "hou" makes sense

[@cassieboy]

Are you sure it's :Presies 10 dae voor die Bokke and not : Presies 10 dae vir die Bokke I was under the impression it should be vir
