Текст и перевод песни Laurika Rauch - Neanderdalman

Neanderdalman

Daar′s kantgordyntjies
Voor my vensterraam
En alles is so ordelik
Soos dit my betaam
Soggens kom die melkman
En saans lees ek koerant
En soms as als te veel word voel ek astrant

Daar's klein hortjievensters
Hoog in die dak
In die straat rooi telefoonhokkies
Wat in die sonlig bak
Ystervoëls vlieg hoog verby
Robot knip sy oog
En as die wêreld op my skree
Hou ek kop omhoog
En sou my Neanderdalman
My aan die hare gryp en vang
Met ′n knuppel in my rug
Gebalde vuis hoog in die lug
Dan sou my Neanderdalman
My hartsnaar so laat span

Oe oe oe oe oe
Oe oe oe oe oe oe

Daar's kantgordyntjies
Voor my vensterraam
En alles is so ordelik
Soos dit my mos betaam
Soggens kom die melkman
En saans lees ek koerant
En soms as als te veel word
Voel ek astrant
En sou my Neanderdalman
My aan die hare gryp en vang
Met 'n knuppel in my rug
Gebalde vuis hoog in die lug
Dan sou my Neanderdalman
My hartsnaar so laat span

Oe oe oe oe oe
Oe oe oe oe oe

En sou my Neanderdalman
My aan die hare gryp en vang
Met ′n knuppel in my rug
Gebalde vuis hoog in die lug
Dan sou my Neanderdalman
My hartsnaar so laat span

Oe oe oe oe oe
Oe oe oe oe oe oe

Neanderthal Man

There are lace curtains
In my window frame
And everything is so orderly
As it befits me
In the morning, the milkman comes
And in the evening, I read the newspaper
And sometimes when it all becomes too much, I feel rebellious

There are small dormer windows
High in the roof
Red telephone boxes in the street
That bake in the sunlight
Iron birds fly high overhead
Robots blink their eyes
And when the world screams at me
I hold my head up high
And if my Neanderthal man
Grabs me by the hair and catches me
With a club in my back
Clenched fist high in the air
Then my Neanderthal man
Would make my heartstrings twang

Uh oh uh oh uh oh
Uh oh uh oh uh oh

Grabs me by the hair and catches me
With a club in my back
Clenched fist high in the air
Then my Neanderthal man
Would make my heartstrings twang

Uh oh uh oh uh oh
