- Hillbrow Lyrics

Ou man sit by die straatkafees,
En kyk al die mense loop heen-en-weer
Boemelaars raas by die Wimpy Bar,
En Fontana is oop tot laat in die aand
Kaalvoet kinders in die straat, wys parkeerplek aan
En hou dan die hand, en hou dan die hand,
En hou oop die hand…ja

Koortjie:
En gee, gee, gee. Gee, gee, gee
Jou sente, jou drome, jou klere vol gate,
Gee jou hart vir Hillbrow
Ja, gee jou hart vir Hillbrow

In Quartz Straat hoor ek ‘n meisie my roep,
Daar’s ‘n Hare Krishna wat vra wat ek soek
En ken ek vir Jesus? Vra ‘n man op die stoep,
Tussen Hillbrow records en Estoril Books
En dis lank na twaalfuur,
En die Hillbrow toring stuur
Sy seine in die nag, sy sein in die nag,
Sy sein vir die junkies wat wag, o

Koortjie:
En gee, gee, gee. Gee, gee, gee
Jou sente, jou drome, jou toekoms vol gate,
Gee jou hart vir Hillbrow,
Ja, gee jou hart vir HillbrowEn die ligte gaan aan in die Chelsea Hotel,
En stemme en musiek klink in elke woonstel.
Ons sit in die son, drink wyn,
Ons survive met ‘n helse lot pyn in hierdie land, ja
Kom ons drink op die een wat sy drome oorleef,
Op die een wat kry wat hy vra, jaKoortjie:
En gee, gee, gee. Gee, gee, gee
Jou sente jou drome, jou toekoms vol gate,
Gee jou hart vir Hillbrow
Ja, gee jou hart vir Hillbrow,
Komaan, gee jou hart vir Hillbrow

What is the meaning behind Hillbrow lyrics?


When we focus on what the lyrics are trying to say, Hillbrow by Johannes Kerkorrel gives an accurate and colorful description of the lively yet disorderly nature of the Hillbrow neighborhood, even trying to convince people to invest completely—money, dreams, and love—into this diverse and pretty much worn-out tough community. The main aspects of Hillbrow lyrics are social commentary, reflection, empowerment, inspiration, and hope. The song at the same time carries the message of the importance of community and togetherness, sacrifice and giving, struggle and survival, as well as urban life and culture. The song's lyrics make mention of adult themes like drug addiction ('junkies') and mature settings such as bars and hotels, which are probably inappropriate for kids. The choice of words and the imagery created point to a more adult context as well.
