It’s the smell in your garments before midnight

It’s the men’s fantasies

about the day hunting

It’s my heart’s dwelling

Collectively we will cry and together we will laugh

Bring the bush guitar for a man to sing

Yes a man must sing

Privilege to share hardekool

all the blood brothers unite

flames seal the friendship

Men this is a privilege

to be here tonight

under the bushveld moon

sing the hardekool

Nah Nah Nah nahhh

Nah Nah Nah nahhh

hardwood singing

men this an opportunity

Nah Nah Nah nahhh

Nah Nah Nah nahhh

hardekool singing

under the bushveld moon

sing hardekool

It’s the green mopane

it’s the old slate

It’s all the stars in heaven

sitting quietly at night

listen to the fire that speaks

to the light that lectures

men this is a privilege

to share hardekool
