paroles de chanson Modimolle - John Edmond

This is the story about Modimolle
A mountain standing on a bushveld plain
Some have conquered her peak and some were beaten
And some didn't ever go back there again
Now Modimolle means the spirit has eaten
Is that a warning that she can't be beaten
And folks that round her slopes went roamin
Said they won't go there again cause there is a bad omen
You can talk about Gibraltar
Ayer's rock down in Australia
And Sugarloaf Mountain in Rio de Janeiro
Some are feared and revered
And some are holy
But nobody knows about Modimolle
When old settlers made a stop, they called it Kranskop
Which means the top of a mountain cliff
And they thought the stream nearby was the source of the Nile
And that mountain looked like a pyramid
Legend has it that a nasty old chief
Threw subordinate folk over the precipice
And they say that many that climbed up there
Never came back because they disappeared
You can talk about Gibraltar
Ayer's rock down in Australia
And Sugarloaf Mountain in Rio de Janeiro
Some are feared and revered
And some are holy
But nobody knows about Modimolle
Then they built a highway near Modimolle
Some folks say it was a big no no
They say the spirit just didn't like it
And it would be a dangerous road to go
Modimolle has suffered weather attrition
And her share of superstition
But Modimolle still stand alone
And her secret will never be known
You can talk about Gibraltar
Ayer's rock down in Australia
And Sugarloaf Mountain in Rio de Janeiro
Some are feared and revered
And some are holy
But nobody knows about Modimolle
But nobody knows about Modimolle
