Paroles et traduction Laurika Rauch - Nalekokers

Nalekokers

Die kind was lief vir nalekokers vang
Bloues, en rooies, en miskien ook geles
Groot aardigheid ril deur sy lyf
Vannie bewe vannie nalekokerlyf
Ou man staan by donkerrooi blom
Ligrooi nalekoker op donkerrooi blom

Ou man steek hand uit
Bewe, tas mis
Hy lag verleë vryf sy nek
Die mense sal mos dink hy′s gek
Nalekoker, daggaroker, moerskwaai moker
Dissie wind dissie wind geswind
Hiert jou nalekoker
Hiert, hiert!
Jou nalekoker

Dragonfly Catchers

The child loved to catch dragonflies
Blue ones, and red ones, maybe even yellow ones
Great joy thrills through his body
From the movement of the dragonfly's body
Old man stands by a dark red flower
Light red dragonfly on a dark red flower

Old man reaches out his hand
Moves, misses
He laughs embarrassed rubbing his neck
People will think he's crazy
Dragonfly, weed smoker, lightning bug
It's the wind it's the wind fast
Catch your dragonfly
Here, here!
Your dragonfly
