Lyrics and translation Ricus Nel - Ploeg Jy?

Ploeg Jy?

Saad Saai
Mielies plant
Koringlande
Langs die kant

Draad span
Beeste voer
Skape skeer
Man, ek kan boer

Blou oe stywe top
Goue lokkies op haar kop
My tong hang uit op die vloer
Ek check haar uit, ek koekeloer

Ek was al in baaaie lande
Koringlande mielielande
Maar sy maak my so skaam
As sy aanhoudend vra...

Wat maak jy met daai 10 ton trekker, ploeg jy?
Wat sleep jy deur jou mielielande, ploeg jy?
Voordat jy kan plant
Maak jy die grond eers bietjie nat
En sê my hoe lank moet ek wag
Voor al die stroopery?

Wat sleep jy deur jou koringlande, ploeg jy?
Wat staan jy so gevoude hande, ploeg jy?
Sit vir my 'n broodjie in jou plaaskombuis se oontjie
En smeur heuning om my mondjie,
Ek wil lekkerkry

My grond is nat, lek 'n kraan?
Jy sit elke spilpunt aan
Maak toe asseblief
Die dam raak leeg jou hartedief

Swaai die slinger wat gaan aan?
My lister engin het gaan staan
Draai hom weer, wat makeer
Hy's in jou hand probeer maar weer

Jy breek al my konsentrasie
Water droog by elke stasie
En jy maak my so skaam as jy aanhoudend vra...

Wat maak jy met daai 10 ton trekker, ploeg jy?
Wat sleep jy deur jou mielielande, ploeg jy?
Voordat jy kan plant maak jy die grond eers bietjie
Nat en sê my hoe lank moet ek wag voor al die stroopery?

Wat sleep jy deur jou koringlande, ploeg jy?
Wat staan jy so gevoude hande, ploeg jy?
Sit vir my 'n broodjie in jou plaaskombuis se oontjie
En smeur heuning om my mondjie, ek wil lekkerkry

Wat maak jy met daai 10 ton trekker, ploeg jy?
Wat sleep jy deur jou mielielande, ploeg jy?
Voordat jy kan plant maak jy die grond eers bietjie nat
En sê my hoe lank moet ek wag voor al die stroopery?

Wat sleep jy deur jou koringlande, ploeg jy?
Wat staan jy so gevoude hande, ploeg jy?
Sit vir my 'n broodjie in jou plaaskombuis se oontjie
En smeur heuning om my mondjie, ek wil lekkerkry
Sit vir my 'n broodjie in jou plaaskombuis se oontjie
En smeur heuning om my mondjie, ek wil lekkerkry

Do You Plough?

You Sow Maize
Cornfields
Wheatlands
By the Side

Electrifying Fence
Feeding Cattle
Shearing Sheep
Man, I Can Farm

Blue Eyes, Blonde Hair
Golden Curls Upon Her Head
My Tongue Hangs Out on the Floor
I Constantly Check Her Out

I've Been to Many Countries
Cornfields, Wheatfields
But She Makes Me so Ashamed
When She Keeps on Asking...

What Are You Doing with That 10-Ton Tractor, Are You Ploughing?
What Are You Dragging Through Your Cornfields, Are You Ploughing?
Before You Can Plant
First You Wet the Soil a Bit
And Tell Me How Long Do I Have to Wait
Before All the Pilfering?

What Are You Dragging Through Your Wheatfields, Are You Ploughing?
Why Are You Standing With Your Hands Folded, Are You Ploughing?
Put a Bun in the Oven of Your Farm Kitchen
And Spread Honey Around My Mouth,
I Want a Treat

My Soil is Wet, Do You Think It's Leaking?
You Turn on Every Pivot
Please Shut It Off
The Dam is Emptying, You Heartbreaker

Swing the Crank, What's Going On?
My Lister Engine Has Stopped
Turn It Again, What's Wrong
It's in Your Hand, Try Again

You Destroy My Concentration
Water Dries Up With Each Stop
And You Shame Me When You Keep on Asking...

What Are You Doing with That 10-Ton Tractor, Are You Ploughing?
What Are You Dragging Through Your Cornfields, Are You Ploughing?
Before You Can Plant, You Wet the Soil a Bit
And Tell Me How Long Do I Have to Wait Before All the Pilfering?

What Are You Dragging Through Your Wheatfields, Are You Ploughing?
Why Are You Standing With Your Hands Folded, Are You Ploughing?
Put a Bun in the Oven of Your Farm Kitchen
And Spread Honey Around My Mouth, I Want a Treat

What Are You Doing with That 10-Ton Tractor, Are You Ploughing?
What Are You Dragging Through Your Cornfields, Are You Ploughing?
Before You Can Plant, First You Wet the Soil a Bit
And Tell Me How Long Do I Have to Wait Before All the Pilfering?

What Are You Dragging Through Your Wheatfields, Are You Ploughing?
Why Are You Standing With Your Hands Folded, Are You Ploughing?
Put a Bun in the Oven of Your Farm Kitchen
And Spread Honey Around My Mouth, I Want a Treat
Put a Bun in the Oven of Your Farm Kitchen
And Spread Honey Around My Mouth, I Want a Treat
