"Almal wil 'n huisie by die see he
Almal hoop die struggle is verby
Almal se die lewe is eers more
Maar more is te laat, vir my ..."
Koos Kombuis, respect.

A South African folk singer, this man is brilliant. Any South African will respond instantly to these lines, so simple and yet so perceptive too. For international readers, allow me to briefly explain the song.
Everyone wants a cottage by the sea
Everyone hopes the struggle is past (referring to the armed struggle launched by the ANC against the then govt)
Everyone says life starts tomorrow
Tomorrow is too late for me
................ *smile* such a wonderfully peaceful ditty.
UPDATE: I just discovered you can download this song from 24.com here.
