Paroles et traduction Steve Hofmeyr - Skote Petoors

Skote Petoors

Ek soek, maar tyd het dit kom steel
In die stof het ons gespeel
Die cowboy se kombers
Om jou die indiaan, met die veer en krale aan
In die hart van Heidelberg
Hands up! En hou hulle hoog
My Apache, met ′n pyl en 'n boog
Gee maar alles oor, of ek vat jou vir my
Vir klein bietjie liefde wat nog oorbly
My ma het ′n plaas, en my pa 'n koei
Van 'n stukkende hart het hy dood gebloei
Is jy ′n cowboy?
Maar ek soek meer as dit
As jy aanry, sal ek net hier bly sit
Met ′n hoef in die hand en 'n flenter saal
Hou ek duimvas jy sal my kom haal
My ma het ′n plaas, en my pa 'n koei
Van ′n stukkende hart het hy dood gebloei
Skote Petoors! 'n Cowboy wat huil!
Wag vir jou pyl om hom te deurboor
Onthou jy my woorde, dat ek jou sou kom haal
Want jy′t my kombers, lankal verloor
Skote Petoors! Skote Petoors!
Hands up! En hou hulle hoog
My Apache, met 'n pyl en 'n boog
Gee maar alles oor, of ek vat jou vir my
Vir klein bietjie liefde wat nog oorbly
My ma het ′n plaas, en my pa ′n koei
Van 'n stukkende hart het hy dood gebloei
Skote Petoors! ′n Cowboy wat huil!
Wag vir jou pyl om hom te deurboor
Onthou jy my woorde, dat ek jou sou kom haal
Want jy't my kombers, lankal verloor
Skote Petoors! Skote Petoors!
Gee maar alles oor, of ek vat jou vir my
Vir klein bietjie liefde wat nog oorbly
My ma het ′n plaas, en my pa 'n koei
Van ′n stukkende hart het hy dood gebloei
Met 'n hoef in die hand en 'n flenter saal
Hou ek duimvas jy sal my kom haal
My ma het ′n plaas, en my pa ′n koei
Van 'n stukkende hart het hy dood gebloei
Skote Petoors! ′n Cowboy wat huil!
Wag vir jou pyl om hom te deurboor
Onthou jy my woorde, dat ek jou sou kom haal
Want jy't my kombers, lankal verloor
Skote Petoors! Skote Petoors!

Cowboys Don't Cry

I search, but time has stolen it
In the dust we played
The cowboy's blanket
To you the Indian, with the feather and beads
In the heart of Heidelberg
Hands up! And keep them high
My Apache, with an arrow and a bow
Give it all up, or I'll take you for myself
For a little bit of love that's left
My mother has a farm, and my father a cow
From a broken heart, he bled to death
Are you a cowboy?
But I'm looking for more than that
When you drive up, I'll just sit here
With a hoof in my hand and a tattered saddle
I'm holding my breath that you'll come get me
My mother has a farm, and my father a cow
From a broken heart, he bled to death
Cowboys Don't Cry! A cowboy who cries!
Wait for your arrow to pierce him
Remember my words, that I would come for you
Because you lost my blanket, long ago
Cowboys Don't Cry! Cowboys Don't Cry!
Hands up! And keep them high
My Apache, with an arrow and a bow
Give it all up, or I'll take you for myself
For a little bit of love that's left
My mother has a farm, and my father a cow
From a broken heart, he bled to death
Cowboys Don't Cry! A cowboy who cries!
Wait for your arrow to pierce him
Remember my words, that I would come for you
Because you lost my blanket, long ago
Cowboys Don't Cry! Cowboys Don't Cry!
Give it all up, or I'll take you for myself
For a little bit of love that's left
My mother has a farm, and my father a cow
From a broken heart, he bled to death
With a hoof in my hand and a tattered saddle
I'm holding my breath that you'll come get me
My mother has a farm, and my father a cow
From a broken heart, he bled to death
Cowboys Don't Cry! A cowboy who cries!
Wait for your arrow to pierce him
Remember my words, that I would come for you
Because you lost my blanket, long ago
Cowboys Don't Cry! Cowboys Don't Cry!
