Question about South African song

I read a passing reference about how when Boer women are raped by nigger animals they kill the offspring as soon as it's born. I also read that there is a song, sort of a lullaby about this righteous act. I would like to find a record of this song. Any info would be appreciated.

I've never heard of that. It sounds terrible, lol. I asked some friends as well and they haven't heard of it either.

I saw it mentioned on SF a few days ago. The link that was provided led to information that didn't seem to corroborate the claim that the song was actually about this act. I'll see if I can find the link. I no longer have an account there so I can't use the search function.

Perhaps it has something to do with this song i recall hearing often on the radio about 40 years ago when it was played as a intro to a story program for little kids. This version is in Afrikaans, but translated it goes like this:

Siembamba, Mummy's little child,
Siembamba, Mummy's little child,
-- twist his neck, chuck him in the ditch;
stomp on his head then he's dead.


http://youtu.be/J_g31rQFcTM

There are a number of erroneous explanations about the wording of this song, but one of the most popular ones seems to be that it has to do with a snake called the "mamba", and somehow that is what a child must do when he comes across one. (must be one brave child if he is going to take that advice!) No one seems able to give an acceptable explanation about the words.

If the song is about a half white nigger baby, then snake is most fitting.

You mean welcome back to the forum. Or maybe he is a listener/quiet/observant.
