Stuur Groete Aan Mannetjies Roux
Send Greetings to Mannetjies Roux
My oom se motor is ′n ou masjien
My uncle's car is an old machine,
Hy maak dit vol met dieselien
He fills it up with diesel fuel,
En hy sing in die strate as hy ons kom sien
And sings in the streets when he comes to see us,
My oom is oud en ek is skaars dertien
My uncle is old, and I'm barely thirteen.
My oom drink koffie en my tannie tee
My uncle drinks coffee, my aunt drinks tea,
Ek vra oor die reën en hy ja-nee
I ask about the rain, and he says, "Well, maybe,"
En hy drink soet koffie met sy een oog toe
And he drinks sweet coffee with one eye closed,
En hy praat weer oor die drie van Mannetjies Roux
And talks again about the three from Mannetjies Roux.
O stuur ons net so 'n bietjie reën
Oh, send us just a little rain,
My oom het ′n tenk vol dieselien
My uncle has a tank full of diesel,
En seën my pa en seën my ma
And bless my father and bless my mother,
En my oom op sy plaas in Afrika
And my uncle on his farm in Africa.
Maar my oom het gesukkel op die plaas
But my uncle struggled on the farm,
Want die son was te warm en die reën te skaars
Because the sun was too hot, and the rain too scarce,
En die man van die bank het net sy kop geskud
And the man from the bank just shook his head,
Want my oom, ja my oom was te diep in die skuld
Because my uncle, yes, my uncle was too deep in debt.
My oom se motor is 'n ou masjien
My uncle's car is an old machine,
Hy maak dit vol met dieselien
He fills it up with diesel fuel,
En hy ry na die lande in die oggenddou
And he drives to the fields in the morning dew,
Die lande vaal en sy grou
The fields are pale, and his eyes are gray.
O stuur ons net so 'n bietjie reën
Oh, send us just a little rain,
My oom het ′n tenk vol dieselien
My uncle has a tank full of diesel,
En seën my pa en seën my ma
And bless my father and bless my mother,
En my oom op sy plaas in Afrika
And my uncle on his farm in Africa.
En as jy in die oggend in die lande stap
And if you walk in the fields in the morning,
Hoor jy nog sy motor met sy klak-klak-klak
You can still hear his car with its clack-clack-clack,
Maar my oom, ja my oom se oë′s nou albei toe
But my uncle, yes, my uncle's eyes are now both closed,
In sy brief stuur hy groete aan Mannetjies Roux
In his letter, he sends greetings to Mannetjies Roux.
O stuur ons net so 'n bietjie reën
Oh, send us just a little rain,
My oom het ′n tenk vol dieselien
My uncle has a tank full of diesel,
En seën my pa en seën my ma
And bless my father and bless my mother,
En my oom op sy plaas in Afrika
And my uncle on his farm in Africa.
