Afrikaans:
[Koor]
Kom ons staan opsy
En wag vir ons fortuin
Terwyl ons opgaar en ons self --- die vrede verdienste
Vir niemand anders
Los die kruis buite op die sypaadjie
Dankie ek is veilig hier
Loop skellum loop
Die pad is lank, en ek het kla my kleingeld weg gegeë
My siel verplaas in die atmosfeer
Bly en leef, want jou dood sal ek nooit verwerk en
Al is daar hoop, is dit niet sonder harde werk
[Koor]
Vind skuiling onder die brug
Die nag is swaar, en ek ek het klaar by jou (keurig?)
My brein verruil vir navorsing
As ons saam sal brand, maak dit saak wie die meeste hier op aarde het
Hoeveel moet ek spandeer?
Hoeveel moet ek spandeer?
[Koor]
Maar ek het nog niks hier uit geleer nie
Ouer is net gelyk aan dommer
Dankie, ek is veilig hier
English:
[Chorus]
Let us stand aside
And wait for our fortune
While we gather more and gorge ourselves
On the wicked wages
For no one else
Please leave the cross out there on the sidewalk
Thank you I am safe here
Walk swindler walk
The road is long and I’ve already given all my change away
My soul displaced to the atmosphere
Stay alive, because I could never deal with your demise
Even if there’s hope it’s never without hard work
[Chorus]
Find shelter under the bridge
The night is long and I’ve already dumped all my old clothes
Exchanged my brain for research
If we burn together, does it matter who has the most here on earth
How much do I have to spend?
How much do I have to spend?
Thank you, I am safe here
[Chorus]
But I still haven’t learnt anything from all of this
Older now just equals dumber
Thank you, I am safe here

What is the meaning behind Dankie, Ek Is Veilig Hier lyrics?
When we try to understand the message behind it, Dankie, Ek Is Veilig Hier by Van Coke Kartel is a song that looks back on the futility of material pursuits and the hollowness of self-isolation, through the use of metaphors like 'swindler walk' and 'shelter under the bridge' to explore the feelings of lost identity and the battle for meaning in a world dominated by consumerism. Dankie, ek is veilig hier lyrics are predominantly loaded with despair, angst, reflection, solitude, and social commentary. On the other hand, the song portrays the waiting and fortune, materialism and self-deception, safety and complacency, loss and displacement, hope and hard work, shelter and survival, and lack of learning and growth as the pressing issues. The lyrics contain themes of existential struggle, disillusionment, and sense of being lost, which are more mature and may not be appropriate for younger children. The vocabulary is difficult and cerebral, dealing with concepts like 'wicked wages' and 'displaced soul,' which require a higher level of comprehension. Moreover, there are hints of giving away one's 'change' and 'dumping old clothes,' which could suggest a feeling of abandonment or loss that might be disturbing for the young ones. ✔️
