Paroles et traduction Adam Tas - Gaan sê vir die Angels

Gaan sê vir die Angels

Begrawe vir my in die Platteland.
Gooi my kissie toe met Bosveld sand.
Met geen lig wat skyn.

Begrawe vir my in die Platteland.
Balsem vir my met Oil of Ole.
Sit pennies op my oë vir tolgeld daarbo.
En los vir my, daar doer ... in die Platteland.
Gaan sê vir die Angels, gaan sê vir die Angels.
Gaan sê vir Angels, ek is op pad na bo.

Gaan sê vir die Angels, gaan sê vir die Angels.
Gaan sê vir Angels, ek is op pad na bo.
As die Here my kom haal op 'n dag soos die.
Met 'n smile op my gesig en die son op my rug.
Sal ek rustig slaap, daar doer ... in die Platteland.
En gee my goed vir die wat dit soek.
Los net my kierie, my skoene en my hoed.
Vergeet van my.
Begrawe vir my in die Platteland.
Gaan sê vir die Angels, gaan sê vir die Angels.
Gaan sê vir Angels, ek is op pad na bo.

Gaan sê vir die Angels, gaan sê vir die Angels.
Gaan sê vir Angels, ek is op pad na bo.

Gaan begrawe my, in die Platteland.
Gooi my kissie toe met Bosveld sand.

Bury Me in the Country

Bury me in the countryside.
Cover my casket with bushveld sand.
With no light shining.

Bury me in the countryside.
Embalm me with Oil of Olay.
Put pennies on my eyes for the toll above.
And leave me, there, in the countryside.
Go tell the angels, go tell the angels.
Go tell the angels, I'm on my way up.

Go tell the angels, go tell the angels.
Go tell the angels, I'm on my way up.
If the Lord comes for me on a day like this.
With a smile on my face and the sun on my back.
I'll sleep peacefully, there, in the countryside.
And give my belongings to those who need them.
Just leave me my walking stick, my shoes, and my hat.
Forget about me.
Bury me in the countryside.
Go tell the angels, go tell the angels.
Go tell the angels, I'm on my way up.

Go tell the angels, go tell the angels.
Go tell the angels, I'm on my way up.

Go bury me, in the countryside.
Cover my casket with bushveld sand.
