THE BRISK RING OF LADS A’SING

MALE CHOIR (TTBB)

To the 1999-2006 alumni singers of the Drakensberg Boys´ Choir, South Africa.

(Thinking of those no longer with us.)

RUDOLF DE BEER

THE BRISK RING OF LADS A’SING MALE CHOIR (TTBB)

Salute, salute!

Comrades, friends, let´s join in song, join in songs of old, unite in singing and companionship, recalling days of old, of summits which resound profound ecstatic sounds of joy, and torrents whom vibrate countless jubilant songs!

The brisk ring of lads a´sing

Sing songs and chronicles of olden days, of flora that recalls numerous blissful harmonies, sweet melodies. We join in virtual sounds collected, the brisk ring of lads a´sing! and fauna echoes countless joyous pleasant airs!

Comrades, friends, in song again we bound, until we meet again, take care, keep safe, Adieu, adieu!
