Lyrics and translation Steve Hofmeyr - Agter Elke Man

Agter Elke Man

Ek scheme 'n ou score nooit nie
Life se rules maak jou te dronk
En die breaks lê soms so ver weg
Deur die tralies van 'n tronk
Jan Wolm se baksteenhuisie
Antie Stienie se kombers
Waar sy en Sarie suffer
Swaarkry ensovoorts
Liana is nou Steve sin
Colien se hart is dood
Oor boyfriends wat op bikes ry
En rondry sonder brood

Daars 'n vrou wat weet wat aangaan
Agter elke man
Al staan sy daar en die trane loop
Saggies oor haar wang
Almal maak tog foute
Saam maak ons 'n span
Solank as daar 'n vrou staan
Agter elke man

Toy Boy bly 'n jailbird
En 'n welfare goose se smile
Want daars net regtig rykdom
As daar goud is in jou hart
Kom surprise my met jou oe
Waar elkeen op sy eie jol
Ek scheme dit kan nie werk nie
Want vir elkeen is daar n rol
Een speel hy weet wat vry is
Vasgevang in n game
Speel maar waar jy lus het pel
Almal is op n stage

Behind Every Man

I make plans but they never score
Life's rules get you too drunk
And sometimes, the breaks are so far away
Through the bars of a jail
Jan Wolm's brick house
Antie Stienie's blanket
Where she and Sarie sleep
Hardships and so on
Liana is now Steve's
Colien's heart is dead
Over boyfriends who ride bikes
And drive around without food

There's a woman who knows what's going on
Behind every man
Even if she stands there and the tears run
Gently down her cheek
Everyone makes mistakes
Together we make a team
As long as there's a woman standing
Behind every man

Toy Boy remains a jailbird
And a welfare goose's smile
Because there is only real wealth
When there is gold in your heart
Come surprise me with your eyes
Where everyone enjoys themselves on their own
I scheme, it can't work
Because for everyone, there is a role
One plays he knows what freedom is
Trapped in a game
Play wherever you feel like it, pal
Everyone is on a stage
