Paroles et traduction Laurika Rauch - Karoonag

Karoonag

As die nag sy baadjie toeknoop oor die veld
En die diereriem sy blink tot teen die Skerpioen laat lê
As die Tweeling en die Kreef
Kotteljons oor Beaufort-Wes
En die maan sy beker skink oor Graaff-Reinet
Ruik jy katbos en kambro
As dit reën in die Kleinkaroo
My hantamwind
My optelkind
Vanaand In die môre as dit blou word
En die amber wolke roer
As die son sy eerste lig
Oor die bitterboela stoot
As die trein by Noupoort fluit
En dit wegraak in die wind
En ′n tolbos iewers vaswaai teen die rant

Refrein

Karoonag

As the night draws its cloak around the fields
And the Milky Way stretches up to Scorpio
As Gemini and Cancer
Play hide-and-seek over Beaufort-Wes
And the moon pours its goblet over Graaff-Reinet
You can smell the wild sage and camelthorn
When it rains in the Little Karoo
My Hantam wind
My adopted child
Tonight In the morning when it turns blue
And the amber clouds start to move
As the sun casts its first light
Over the bitter almond trees
As the train whistles at Noupoort
And it fades into the wind
And a wild olive swings softly against the hillside

Chorus
