Boer ( /ˈbʊər/, /ˈboʊ.ər/, or /ˈbɔər/; Afrikaans: [ˈbuːr]) is the Dutch and Afrikaans word for farmer, which came to denote the descendants of the Dutch-speaking settlers of the eastern Cape frontier in Southern Africa during the 18th century, as well as those who left the Cape Colony during the 19th century to settle in the Orange Free State, Transvaal (which are together known as the Boer Republics), and to a lesser extent Natal. Their primary motivations for leaving the Cape were to escape British rule and extract themselves from the constant border wars between the British imperial government and the native tribes on the eastern frontier.
The Trekboers, as they were originally known, were mainly of Dutch origin and included Calvinists, Flemish and Frisian Calvinists, as well as French Huguenot and German and British protestants who first arrived in the Cape of Good Hope during the period of its administration (1652 – 1795) by the Dutch East India Company (Verenigde Oostindische Compagnie or VOC). Lesser migrations of Scandinavians, Portuguese, Greeks, Italians, Spanish, Polish, Scots, English, Jews, Russians and Irish immigrants also contributed to this ethnic mix.

Plot: In 1833, when the fledgling Belgian kingdom still fears a Dutch invasion, recruits were selected annually from an age cohort by a draw of lots in each locality. In this grim, then contemporary drama by the 'father of Flemish literature', Hendrik Conscience, Jan Braems, a poor and naive farmers-boy, accepts the not uncommon offer by a rich family to sell his lucky ticket (out) to their son for a hefty sum compared to the miserable labor wages at the time. Army life is even harsher then a farmhand's, especially for a Dutch-speaking an-alphabet who simply can't understand his francophone superiors, and Jan's nature is not complacent enough for military discipline even by todays standards, so he soon gets into all kinds of trouble, including gambling his capital away and a venereal disease. When his girlfriend back home goes looking for him, her life is doomed as well.

Es geht mir gut wenn es dir gut geht
und dafür tu ich was ich kann für dich
glaub bitte nicht das mir der Mut fehlt
glaub einem der versucht nur zu versprechen was er halten kann
glaub an die macht der Sinne
oh glaube was du fühlst
ich schlag dir jeden kleinsten Zweifel in die Flucht
glaub an Zufall an Bestimmung ganz egal hab dich gefunden dich zuvor ein halbes
Leben lang gesucht
Refraing
Komm halt dich fest komm hier in meine Arme
und lass die Welt alleine draußen stehn
das Glück trägt deinen Namen ein Traum ein Kuss ein Stern
ich lass dich niemehr gehn
2 Strophe
Die Zuversicht die du im Blick trägst
lässt mich der sein der ich sein will für dich
das du entschlossen nichtmehr abwegst
zeigt mir du hast mich ganz verstanden hast uns beide auserwählt
für ein großes miteinander und ein füreinander da sein
ja wir räumen uns die Steine aus dem weg
Refraing
Das Glück trägt deinen Namen
ein Traum ein Kuss ein stern
ich lass dich niemehr gehn
Refraing
nie mehr gehn!!!!
