Текст песни Piet My Vrou. - John Edmond

Piet Potato was a Bulbul excitable as can be
In the morning and the evenin' chirpin' in every tree
Piet Piet Piet Potato builds a super nest
Just like Robby Robin neat and one of the best
Now that red chested Cuckoo calls his wife "my vrou"
She lays her eggs in Robin's nest if Robin will allow
If Robin says there is no ways the Cuckoo has to beg
Piet Patato my vrou needs a place to lay her egg
Piet my vrou needs a place to lay
Piet my vrou can't wait another day
Some birds are accommodating but they don't realize
The Cuckoo chick is the first to hatch he's a monster in disguise
He evicts all eggs and chicks and makes himself at home
The Bulbuls and the Robins raise him as their own
Piet my vrou says feed my baby good
Piet my vrou aint good at motherhood
The sly Red Chested Cuckoo is so hard to spy
You can hear him day and night callin from on high
He's callin for another mate to lay some eggs again
But one thing he is good at and that's predicting rain
Piet my vrou needs to lay again
Piet my vrou is nervous of the rain
The old red Chested Cuckoo is hardly ever wrong
Rain is surely on its way when you hear his song
When Zulus hear him they say take your hoe up in your hands
Up hezu kom khona let's go and till the lands
Piet my vrou and I will disappear
Piet my vrou says see you all next year
Let's go hoe don't be slow
Can't hear the Piet my vrou
Plant the seeds row on row
When it rains the crop will grow
Up Hezu kom khona don't wait another day
Imvula a yeza rain is on its way
Die reen het gekom en daar's water in die vlei
