Текст и перевод песни Ricus Nel - Boesmanland

Boesmanland

O boesmanland vat my hand
Lei my oor die rand se kant
As jy vir my kan sê waar die boesmanland lê
Boesmanland vat my hand

Maar n boesmanland vat my hand
Lei my oor die rand se kant
As jy vir my kan sê waar die boesmanland lê
Boesmanland vat my hand

O bokkie vat jou sloop
Ja bokkie vat jou sloop
O bokkie vat jou sloop
Dat ons bitterfontein toe loop

Met my vaal ou hout kitaar
Ja my vaal ou hout kitaar
Ek speel hom dat hy bars
Maar hy breek mos nie n snaar

Maar n boesmanland vat my hand
En lei my oor die rand se kant
As jy vir my kan sê waar die boesmanland lê
Boesmanland vat my hand

Maar n boesmanland vat my hand
En lei my oor die rand se kant
As jy vir my kan sê waar die boesmanland lê
Boesmanland vat my hand

O die maskamberg se kruin
Ja die maskamberg se kruin
By die maskamberg se kruin
Ja daar drink ons brannewyn

Net n koekie sunlight seep
Ja die koekie sunlight seep
Ja garies se mense dra
Mos n wit broek deur die week

Maar n boesmanland vat my hand
En lei my oor die rand se kant
As jy vir my kan sê waar die boesmanland lê
Boesmanland vat my hand

Maar n boesmanland vat my hand
En lei my oor die rand se kant
As jy vir my kan sê waar die boesmanland lê
Boesmanland vat my hand

O die hond het my beskuit
Ja die hond het my beskuit
O die hond het my beskuit
Van die tafel af gesmyt

Maar as ek maar net weer kon
Ja as ek maar net weer kon
Kaal bo-lyf daar kan lê
In die boesmanland se son

Maar n boesmanland vat my hand
En lei my oor die rand se kant
As jy vir my kan sê waar die boesmanland lê
Boesmanland vat my hand

Maar n boesmanland vat my hand
En lei my oor die rand se kant
As jy vir my kan sê waar die boesmanland lê
Boesmanland vat my hand
Ja die boesmanland vat my hand
Ja die boesmanland vat my hand
Ja die boesmanland vat my hand

Boesmanland

Oh, Boesmanland, take my hand
Lead me over the edge
If you can tell me where the Boesmanland lies
Boesmanland, take my hand

But a Boesmanland takes my hand
Leads me over the edge
If you can tell me where the Boesmanland lies
Boesmanland, take my hand

Oh, darling, take your gun
Yes, darling, take your gun
Oh, darling, take your gun
So that we can walk to Bitterfontein

With my old brown wooden guitar
Yes, my old brown wooden guitar
I play it till it bursts
But it never breaks a string

But a Boesmanland takes my hand
And leads me over the edge
If you can tell me where the Boesmanland lies
Boesmanland, take my hand

But a Boesmanland takes my hand
And leads me over the edge
If you can tell me where the Boesmanland lies
Boesmanland, take my hand

Oh, the peak of the Maskamberg
Yes, the peak of the Maskamberg
At the peak of the Maskamberg
Yes, there we drink brandy

Just a cake of Sunlight soap
Yes, a cake of Sunlight soap
Yes, the people of Gariep wear
White trousers during the week

But a Boesmanland takes my hand
And leads me over the edge
If you can tell me where the Boesmanland lies
Boesmanland, take my hand

But a Boesmanland takes my hand
And leads me over the edge
If you can tell me where the Boesmanland lies
Boesmanland, take my hand

Oh, the dog has my biscuit
Yes, the dog has my biscuit
Oh, the dog has my biscuit
Knocked it off the table

But if I could only lie there again
Yes, if I could only lie there again
Bare-chested in the sun
In the Boesmanland

But a Boesmanland takes my hand
And leads me over the edge
If you can tell me where the Boesmanland lies
Boesmanland, take my hand

But a Boesmanland takes my hand
And leads me over the edge
If you can tell me where the Boesmanland lies
Boesmanland, take my hand
Yes, the Boesmanland takes my hand
Yes, the Boesmanland takes my hand
Yes, the Boesmanland takes my hand
