Paroles et traduction Jak De Priester - Groen Mamba

Groen Mamba

Ek sit in die donker koppie koffie in die hand
En ek wonder hoe de hêng het ons hier beland
'N Man en 'n vrou en 'n baba wat huil
Hoe gaan ek my "twenties" vir die lewe ruil
Ons bly in 'n huis in die bank se huis
En net soos al die ander het ons huis ook 'n kruis
My vrou is wispelturig dan's sy vriendelik dan's sy kwaad
Ek weet nie wat sy soek nie soek sy liefde ek soek raad
Groen mamba vir jou baba en prozac vir jou vrou
En elke aand 'n disprin om die bloed lekker dun te hou
Groen mamba vir jou baba en 'n myprodol vir jou vrou
En die homopaat se druppeltjies om die trane weg te hou
Groen mamba vir jou baba en rooibos tee in die nag
En 'n hand vol vitamienes dit help ons deur die dag
Die lewe het net deesdae so normaal geword
Al my vriende het hierdie jaar 'n pa geword
Vakansie tyd in Hartenbos 'n Gypsy karavaan
Oral speel die deuntjie van 7de Laan
Elke liewe dag is nog 'n dag verby
Tyd staan nie stil nie soos 'n trein wat ry
Die nuus maak my "depressed" en die baba wil nie slaap
As ons huis net eers verkoop is dan trek ons na die Kaap
Groen mamba vir jou baba en prozac vir jou vrou
En elke aand 'n disprin om die bloed lekker dun te hou
Groen mamba vir jou baba en 'n myprodol vir jou vrou
En die homopaat se druppeltjies om die trane weg te hou
Groen mamba vir jou baba en rooiwyn vir jou vrou
En 'n lekker pil as jy sestig
"Strike" om daai spier lekker fiks te hou
Wat sou ons gedoen het sonder KFC
Na wie sou ons gekyk het sonder DSTV
Hoe sou ons oorleef het sonder klein bietjie wyn
Hoe keer mens al die "worries" en die hart se pyn
Hoeveel pille moet ons sluk om net ons "sanity" te hou
Hoeveel gatte moet ons lek om net ons "jobs" te hou
Hoeveel nagte moet ons opwees voor die baba deurnag slaap
Ek sê jou my pellie dis lekker innie Kaap
Groen mamba vir jou baba en prozac vir jou vrou
En elke aand 'n disprin om die bloed lekker dun te hou
Groen mamba vir jou baba en 'n myprodol vir jou vrou
En die homopaat se druppeltjies om die trane weg te hou...
Groen mamba vir jou baba en prozac vir jou vrou
En elke aand 'n disprin om die bloed lekker dun te hou
Groen mamba vir jou baba en 'n myprodol vir jou vrou
En 'n lekker pil as jy dertig "strike" om jou hare op jou kop te hou

Groen Mamba

I sit in the dark, coffee in hand,
And I wonder how the hell we got here,
A man and a woman and a baby who cries,
How am I going to trade my twenties for the rest of my life?
We live in a house in the bank's house,
And just like everyone else, our house has a cross too.
My wife is moody, sometimes nice, sometimes angry,
I don't know what she's looking for, she's looking for love, I'm looking for advice.
Green mamba for your baby and prozac for your wife,
And every night a disprin to keep the blood nice and thin.
Green mamba for your baby and a myprodol for your wife,
And the homeopath's drops to keep the tears away.
Green mamba for your baby and rooibos tea at night,
And a handful of vitamins to help us through the day.
Life has just become so normal these days,
All my friends have become fathers this year.
Holiday time in Hartenbos, a Gypsy caravan,
The 7de Laan theme tune plays everywhere.
Every single day is just another day gone by,
Time doesn't stand still, like a train that rides
The news makes me depressed and the baby won't sleep
If only our house would sell, then we'll move to the Cape.
Green mamba for your baby and prozac for your wife,
And every night a disprin to keep the blood nice and thin.
Green mamba for your baby and a myprodol for your wife,
And the homeopath's drops to keep the tears away.
Green mamba for your baby and red wine for your wife,
And a nice pill when you're sixty
"Strike" to keep those muscles nice and fit.
What would we have done without KFC?
Who would we have watched without DSTV?
How would we have survived without a little bit of wine?
How do you stop all the worries and the heartache?
How many pills must we swallow just to keep our sanity?
How many asses must we lick just to keep our jobs?
How many nights must we stay awake before the baby sleeps through the night?
I tell you, my friend, it's great in the Cape.
Green mamba for your baby and prozac for your wife,
And every night a disprin to keep the blood nice and thin.
Green mamba for your baby and a myprodol for your wife,
And the homeopath's drops to keep the tears away...
Green mamba for your baby and prozac for your wife,
And every night a disprin to keep the blood nice and thin.
Green mamba for your baby and a myprodol for your wife,
And a nice pill when you're thirty, "strike" to keep your hair on your head.
