More About ‘Flennie die Snare’
Bantom hom so
En flennie die snare
Ek is verlief op die kind
Die son slaan vuur uit die sweetvoshare
Ek is verlief op die kind– Boerneef.
In 1958 Boerneef published his second volume of poetry entitled Ghaap en kambro. Almost 30 years later Louis van Rensburg set the poem to music and gave it new life. As Louis sings the song, he makes it dance and flow in a way that even non-Afrikaans speakers can love the sounds of the words.
Now, 60-years later, it’s time for Chris Chameleon to take up the mantle, and put his spin on it. Joining Christ is Mauritz Lotz, Anna Davel and a host of others.
