Background to the song:
This song is a traditional isiXhosa call & response song known as “gwijo”. The captain of our South African rugby team Siya Kolisi has been teaching this song to the other Springboks & they’ve been singing the song in the locker rooms to raise spirits before matches. The idea behind the song is that it’s a fun ice-breaker & the song serves to break any preconception you might have of a person.
I did my best to remix the song in true South African style, and I hope you enjoy the music! I’d personally like to wish the Springboks all the best in the upcoming rugby season. We back you all the way! 🇿🇦 ❤️
Featured Springboks: Siya Kolisi, Damian Willemse, Canan Moodie & Frans Malherbe.
Song Lyrics in isiXhosa:
YiBokke lena, yiBokke le (These are the Bokke, these are the Bokke)
Abangaziyo, abazange bayibona (Those who don’t know, have never seen them like this)
YiBokke lena, yiBokke le (These are the Bokke, these are the Bokke)
Abamaziyo, abazange bayibona (Those who know them, have never seen them like this)
Abazange bayibona (They’ve never seen them like this) x 4
