Текст и перевод песни Koos Kombuis - Lente In Die Boland

Lente In Die Boland

Daar's 'n dorpie wat ek ken daar tussen die blou berge
En die lower van die eike oor die straat
Dis die land van Adam Tas en Simon van der Stel
Waar die mense van Gauteng soos die Capies kan leer praat

Dis daar waar ek geswot het, ek het daar leer skryf en lees
Maar die meeste van die tyd was ek in 'n party gees
Wie kan die werk verstaan, wie kan die drank weerstaan
As die onderdorp jou roep vir 'n groot, groot fees

Dit was lente in die boland, in ons mees gesuipte ja-a-aar
Daar was Tassenberg in elke glas, al die hormone het baljaar
Stellenbosch was niemandsland,
Eksamens ook net om die dra-a-aai
Maar ons was jonk gewees en ons was dronk gewees
Die hele lewe was 'n bring en braai

(Speaking to the crowd)

In die Akker en Die Dros het ons oor naweke gedrink
En vir vriende en mooi meisies hulle glase vol geskink
Na die riviertjie by Die Laan het ons al steierend gegaan
Om te kafoefel en te vry in die lig van die maan

Ek het haar daar ontmoet, sy was so oulik en so soet
Die nooientjie van my drome, ja, dis waar
Nou woon ons in 'n huisie, maar ek onthou nog daardie wysie
Van die gejol en die gefuif van ons beste jaar

Dit was lente in die boland, in ons mees gesuipte ja-a-aar (jaar)
Daar was Tassenberg in elke glas, al die hormone het baljaar
Stellenbosch was niemandsland,
Eksamens ook net om die dra-a-aai (draai)
Maar ons was jonk gewees en ons was dronk gewees
Die hele lewe was 'n bring en braai.

Spring in the Boland

I know a small town Nestled between blue mountains
And the foliage of oaks across the street
It is the land of Adam Tas and Simon van der Stel
Where people from Gauteng can learn to speak like Capetonians

It was there that I studied, I learned to write and read
But most of the time I was in a party mood
Who can understand work, who can resist a drink
When the lower town calls you for a big, big party

It was spring in the Boland, in our most drunken year
There was Tassenberg in every glass, all hormones were raging
Stellenbosch was no man's land,
Exams just around the corner
But we were young and we were drunk
Life was one big booze-up

(Speaking to the crowd)

We drank on weekends at the Akker and Die Dros
And poured our friends and pretty girls glasses full of wine
To the river at Die Laan we went staggering
To make out and kiss in the moonlight

I met her there, she was so cute and so sweet
The girl of my dreams, yes, it's true
Now we live in a small house, but I still remember that melody
Of the revelry and partying of our best year

It was spring in the Boland, in our most drunken year (year)
There was Tassenberg in every glass, all hormones were raging
Stellenbosch was no man's land,
Exams just around the corner (around the corner)
But we were young and we were drunk
Life was one big party.
