Текст и перевод песни Dozi - Ou Ryperd

Ou Ryperd

Ou Ryperd, ons ry die pad tesame
Ou ryperd, so deur die lewensbane
Wanneer jou rydag oor is,
Gaan jou ou lyf lekker rus
Jy, ou Ryperd van my

Jaag maar aan ou maat
Die maan skyn helder vanaand
Jaag maar aan ou maat
My mooientjie sy wag vir my vanaand

O hoor hoe tjank die jakkals op die rivier se brug
En dra my op jou lekker ou rug
Jaag maar aan ou maat,
Want my nooientjie sy wag daar vanaand

Refrain:
Jippie Jippie Jip (2x)
My ou perd
Daar is voer en rus
En jy doen jou bes my ou perd
Dra my oor die rivier se brug
Dra my op jou lekke ou rug
Na my nooi Sannie
Die dogter van Tant Annie op die plaas

Ou Ryperd, ons ry die pad tesame
Ou Ryperd, so deur die lewensbane
Wanneer jou rydag oor is,
Sal jou ou lyf lekker rus
Jy, ou Ryperd van my

Refrain (2x)

Dra my oor die rivier se brug
Dra my op jou lekker ou rug
Na my nooi Sannie
Die dogter van Tant Annie op die plaas (3x)

My Old Horse

My old horse, we ride the road together
My old horse, through life's ways
When your riding days are over,
Your old body will rest well
You, my old horse

Run on, old friend
The moon shines bright tonight
Run on, old friend
My sweetheart waits for me tonight

Oh, hear how the jackal cries on the river bridge
And carry me on your nice old back
Run on, old friend,
For my sweetheart waits there tonight

Chorus:
Yippie, yippie, yay (2x)
My old horse
There is food and rest
And you do your best, my old horse
Carry me across the river bridge
Carry me on your nice old back
To my sweetheart, Sannie
The daughter of Auntie Annie on the farm

My old horse, we ride the road together
My old horse, through life's ways
When your riding days are over,
Your old body will rest well
You, my old horse

Chorus (2x)

Carry me across the river bridge
Carry me on your nice old back
To my sweetheart, Sannie
The daughter of Auntie Annie on the farm (3x)
