Текст и перевод песни David Kramer - So Long Skipskop

So Long Skipskop

Pak op, pak op
Sit jou goedjies op jou kop

More gaan ons weg

Ver van hier weg
Skipskop skipskop
Wanneer hou die dinge op
Swaarkry le net voor

Die blou berge oor

Overberg se mens
Isse ek gebore
Op die plek skipskop
Nes my pa en sy pa ook
Hier deurie duine, loop onse spore
Hier op die beach hier langs die see is ek gedoop
Maar wat ken ek anders

As die bloudam se branders
Die wolke en die winde wat hier waai
Maar verkoop jou bootjie, pak op jou goedjies
En sê maar so long skipskop, skipskop sê goodbye

Linkerhand, o die regterhand
Wat se kant lê die plekke, misverstand
'Seblief meneer, ag se tog weer
Is dit die pad wat ons moet more vat
'N stukkie le hier en 'n stukkie le daar
Stukkies van my lewe hulle lê deurmekaar

Tel op tel op vir Shorty en vir Pop
Gaan haal vir Apie en hou daai kindjie dop
Maar wat ken ek anders
As die blou dam se branders
Die wolke en die winde wat hier waai
Pakop jou bootjie pakop jou goedjies
Sê maar so long skipskop skipskop sê goodbye
Sê maar so long skipskop skipskop sê goodbye

So Long Skipskop

Pack up, pack up
Put your things upon your head

Tomorrow we're going away

Far away from here
Skipskop skipskop
When will these things end
Hardship lies just ahead

Over the blue mountains

Overberg people
There I was born
At the place called Skipskop
Like my father and his father too
Through these dunes, run our footsteps
Here on the beach next to the sea am I baptized
But what else do I know

Than the Blouberg's waves
The clouds and the winds that blow here
But sell your boat, pack up your things
And say farewell Skipskop, goodbye Skipskop

Left hand, oh the right hand
Which way do these places lie, misunderstanding
'Please sir, oh please tell me again
Is this the road we must take tomorrow
A piece lies here and a piece lies there
Pieces of my life they lie scattered

Count up, count up for Shorty and for Pop
Go get Apie and keep an eye on that child
But what else do I know
Than the Blouberg's waves
The clouds and the winds that blow here
Pack up your boat, pack up your things
Say farewell Skipskop, goodbye Skipskop
Say farewell Skipskop, goodbye Skipskop
