WHAT DOES SARIE MARAIS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Sarie Marais

Sarie Marais

"Sarie Marais" is a traditional Afrikaans folk song, created during either the First Anglo-Boer War or the Second Anglo-Boer War. The tune was possibly taken from a song dating from the American Civil War called "Ellie Rhee", with the words translated into Afrikaans. In the English translation, the song begins: "My Sarie Marais is so far from my heart but I hope to see her again. She lived near the Mooi River before this war began..."; and the chorus is: "Oh, take me back to the old Transvaal, where my Sarie lives, down among the maize fields near the green thorn tree, there lives my Sarie Marais." It continues about the fear of being removed far, "over the sea"...
