Paroles et traduction Rina Hugo - Troepie Doepie

Troepie Doepie

As die eerste jakaranda in Pretoria
Lente na die winter bring
Kom daar weer in my haart die sommerdrome
Von lank gelade, maar bring jou nie terug

Troepie doepie wanneer kom jy huis toe
Uit die vreemde hoor jy hoe ek roep
Stap duer die bos in veldt
En doen jou plig teenoor jou land
Maar kom tureg na my my Troepie doepie

As die mann in twee gebreek word duer die wolke
En dit sluimer hoog bo in die lug
Hang daar sterre, groot sterre aan die hemel
Bring die laaste ster jou eendag terug

Leon Schuster, Les Reed, Terry Dempsey

Troepie Doepie

As the first jacaranda in Pretoria
Comes springtime after a winter
Summer dreams return to my heart
Long dreamt, but do not bring you back

Troepie doepie when are you coming home
From the distance you hear me call
Walking through the forest and the field
And doing your duty to your country
But come back to me my Troepie doepie

As the moon is shattered through the clouds
And it glows high in the sky
Hang there stars, big stars in the heavens
Will the last star bring you back to me one day

Leon Schuster, Les Reed, Terry Dempsey
