Paroles et traduction Anton Goosen - Geelperskereën

Geelperskereën

As die geelperskereën veertien dae in die boorde val.
En dit reën bietjie-bietjie en dit reën bietjie-bietjie.
En dit reën in die Wes Transvaal.
As die geelperskereën veertien dae in die boorde val.
Dan hoor jy hoe die railway-perskes in die ketel val.

O, die vaalhaarnooi, die rietdakhuis, die perskebrandewyn.
Dis vaalblaar in die ketel by Hartebeesfontein.
Die oompie kerf die pitte en hy sit die helm op.
Hy smeer hom toe en stook hom en hou die voorloop dop.

As die geelperskereën veertien dae in die boorde val.
En dit reën bietjie-bietjie en dit reën bietjie-bietjie.
En dit reën in die Wes Transvaal.
As die geelperskereën veertien dae in die boorde val.
Dan hoor jy hoe die railway-perskes in die ketel val.

O, die vaalhaarnooi, die rietdakhuis, die perskebrandewyn.
Dis vaalblaar in die ketel by Hartebeesfontein.
Die oompie van die Mampoerbelt kry lekker tot in sy toon.
Die boere bestel sy vaatjies sommer so oor die foon.

As die geelperskereën veertien dae in die boorde val.
En dit reën bietjie-bietjie en dit reën bietjie-bietjie.
En dit reën in die Wes Transvaal.
As die geelperskereën veertien dae in die boorde val.
Dan hoor jy hoe die railway-perskes in die ketel val.

O, die vaalhaarnooi, die rietdakhuis, die perske brandewyn.
Dis vaalblaar in die ketel by Hartebeesfontein.
Dis boer medisyne dié, hy kan ook vir jou moor.
Die Ingelsman vat net een sluk en hy val skoon agteroor!

As die geelperskereën veertien dae in die boorde val.
En dit reën bietjie-bietjie en dit reën bietjie-bietjie.
En dit reën in die Wes Transvaal.
As die geelperskereën veertien dae in die boorde val.
Dan hoor jy hoe die railway-perskes in die ketel val.
Dan hoor jy hoe die railway-perskes in die ketel val.

Yellow Peach Rain

When the yellow peach rains for fourteen days in the orchards.
And it rains a little bit and it rains a little bit.
And it rains in the Western Transvaal.
When the yellow peach rains for fourteen days in the orchards.
Then you hear how the railway peaches fall into the kettle.

Oh, the yellow-haired girl, the thatched roof house, the peach brandy.
That's vaalblaar in the kettle at Hartebeesfontein.
The uncle carves the pits and he puts on the helmet.
He smears himself and starts drinking and keeps an eye on the brandy.

When the yellow peach rains for fourteen days in the orchards.
And it rains a little bit and it rains a little bit.
And it rains in the Western Transvaal.
When the yellow peach rains for fourteen days in the orchards.
Then you hear how the railway peaches fall into the kettle.

Oh, the yellow-haired girl, the thatched roof house, the peach brandy.
That's vaalblaar in the kettle at Hartebeesfontein.
The uncle from Mampoerbelt is having a good time.
The farmers order his casks over the phone.

When the yellow peach rains for fourteen days in the orchards.
And it rains a little bit and it rains a little bit.
And it rains in the Western Transvaal.
When the yellow peach rains for fourteen days in the orchards.
Then you hear how the railway peaches fall into the kettle.

Oh, the yellow-haired girl, the thatched roof house, the peach brandy.
That's vaalblaar in the kettle at Hartebeesfontein.
That's farmer's medicine, it can also kill you.
The Englishman takes just one sip and he falls over backwards!

When the yellow peach rains for fourteen days in the orchards.
And it rains a little bit and it rains a little bit.
And it rains in the Western Transvaal.
When the yellow peach rains for fourteen days in the orchards.
Then you hear how the railway peaches fall into the kettle.
Then you hear how the railway peaches fall into the kettle.
