Текст и перевод песни Bok van Blerk - Huil Soos 'n Man

Huil Soos 'n Man

As die dice dalk teen jou rol (as die dice dalk teen jou rol)
En die vaalpen jou laat hol (en die vaalpen jou laat hol)
Proe die stofbom in jou mond (proe die stofbom in jou mond)
Ploeg die grond, en blus die lont (ploeg die grond, en blus die lont)
En as jy op jou knieë val en jy voel jy nie meer kan
Huil soos 'n man
Cowboy huil nie voor sy perd (cowboy huil nie voor sy perd)
Wat maak dit die moeite werd? (Wat maak dit die moeite werd?)
'N Nerf-af wond tot op die skeen ('n nerf-af wond tot op die skeen)
Splinter breek, gebreekte been (splinter breek, gebreekte been)
En as jy onder water hyg, en na jou asem swyg
Huil soos 'n man
En as die trane, die trane, die trane brand
En jou moed wil skink, en jy's ver van die land
En as jou skete, jou skete, jou druk teen die sand
Hou net moed, sluk die bloed, staan net op as jy kan
Huil soos 'n man
As die olifant baklei (as die olifant baklei)
Is dit die gras wat swaarste kry (is dit die gras wat swaarste kry)
Al jou osse ingespan (al jou osse ingespan)
Rantsoen leeg geen waterkan (rantsoen leeg geen waterkan)
Want met jou hande vas geboei, moet jy nou met jou woorde stoei
Huil soos 'n man
En as die trane, die trane, die trane brand
En jou moed wil skink, en jy's ver van die land
En as jou skete, jou skete, jou druk teen die sand
Hou net moed, sluk die bloed, staan net op as jy kan
Huil soos 'n man
En as die trane, die trane, die trane brand
En jou moed wil skink, en jy's ver van die land
En as jou skete, jou skete, jou druk teen die sand
Hou net moed, sluk die bloed, staan net op as jy kan
Huil soos 'n man
(Huil soos 'n man)
Huil soos 'n man

Cry Like a Man

When the dice roll against you (when the dice roll against you)
And the vultures pick at you (and the vultures pick at you)
Taste the dust in your mouth (taste the dust in your mouth)
Dig deep, and cut the fuse (dig deep, and cut the fuse)
And when you're on your knees and you feel like you can't go on
Cry like a man
A cowboy doesn't cry in front of his horse (a cowboy doesn't cry in front of his horse)
What makes it worth the fight? (What makes it worth the fight?)
A saber wound down to the bone (a saber wound down to the bone)
Splinters break, and bones are broken (splinters break, and bones are broken)
And when you're drowning underwater, and you're gasping for air
Cry like a man
And when the tears, the tears, the tears burn
And your courage fails, and you're far from home
And when your screams, your screams, your screams press you down in the sand
Just take heart, swallow your blood, just stand up if you can
Cry like a man
When the elephants fight (when the elephants fight)
It's the grass that gets trampled (it's the grass that gets trampled)
All your oxen yoked together (all your oxen yoked together)
Rations empty, no water jug (rations empty, no water jug)
For with your hands tied behind your back, you must now wrestle with your words
Cry like a man
And when the tears, the tears, the tears burn
And your courage fails, and you're far from home
And when your screams, your screams, your screams press you down in the sand
Just take heart, swallow your blood, just stand up if you can
Cry like a man
And when the tears, the tears, the tears burn
And your courage fails, and you're far from home
And when your screams, your screams, your screams press you down in the sand
Just take heart, swallow your blood, just stand up if you can
Cry like a man
(Cry like a man)
Cry like a man
