Lyrics and translation David Kramer - Hanne

Hanne

Kyk die hanne die, die twee hanne van my
Wa' het ek die twee hanne gekry
Kyk die hanne die, die twee hanne van my
Die hanne raak oud, maar is nog nie fout
Met die hanne van 'n ouman Jannie
Kyk die hanne die, hulle't hard gewerk
Grootmaak hanne die, kan bid innie kerk
Kyk die hanne die hulle't te lank gewerk
Die hanne is hard, die hanne kan sla't
Die hanne van 'n ouman Jannie
Lalalala lalalalala lalalalala lalalalala
Kyk die palms van my was mos nooit vol geld
Hier loop die toekoms verby, dis paadjies deurie veld
Kyk die hanne van my, hulle ken net nie geld
Klop aan die deure, dis net ons bure
Die hanne van 'n ouman Jannie
Kyk die hanne die, die twee hanne van my
In my jonge dae het hulle lekker baklei
Kyk die hanne die, die twee hanne van my
Die hanne regeer, het hulle gestreel
Die hanne van 'n ouman Jannie
Die hanne van 'n ouman Jannie
Die hanne van 'n ouman Jannie
Die hanne van 'n ouman Jannie

Just look at them, my delicate hands
I wonder, where did these hands come from
Look at them, my delicate hands
They are growing old, but they still know how
Like the hands of an old man named Jannie
Look at them, they have worked so hard
They're growing old, but still go to church
Look at them, they have been working for too long
They are tough; they are strong; they are old
Like the hands of an old man named Jannie
Lalalala lalalalala lalalalala lalalalala
Look at my palms, they were never filled with gold
Here comes the future, it's passing us by
Look at my hands, they never knew gold
Just knocking on doors, visiting our neighbors
Like the hands of an old man named Jannie
Just look at them, my delicate hands
In my younger days, they had a fight
Look at them, my delicate hands
They ruled, and they caressed
Like the hands of an old man named Jannie
Like the hands of an old man named Jannie
Like the hands of an old man named Jannie
Like the hands of an old man named Jannie
