Текст песни и перевод на английский Theuns Jordaan - Skipskop

Skipskop

Pak op, pak op
Sit jou goedjies op jou kop
More gaan ons weg,
Ver van hier weg
Skipskop, skipskop,
Wanneer hou die dinge op
Swaarkry le net voor
Die blou berge oor
Overberg se mens
Is ek gebore,
Op die plek skipskop
Nes my pa en sy pa ook.
Hier deur die duine, loop onse spore
Hier op die beach hier langs die see is ek gebore
Maar wat ken ek anders
As die bloudam se branders
Die wolke en die winde wat hier waai
Maar verkoop jou bootjie, pak op jou goedjies
En se maar so long skipskop, skipskop se goodbye
Linkerhand, o die regterhand
Wat se kant le die plekke
Misverstand
'Seblief meneer, ag se tog weer
Is dit die pad wat ons moet more vat
'N stukkie le hier en 'n stukkie le daar
Die stukkies van my lewe hulle le baie deurmekaar
Tel op tel op vir shorty en vir pop
Gaan haal vir apie en hou daai kindjie dop
Maar wat ken ek anders
As die blou dam se branders
Die wolke en die winde wat hier waai
Pak op jou goedjies, pak op jou goedjies,
Se maar so long skipskop skipskop se goodbye
Se maar so long skipskop skipskop se goodbye

Skipskop

Get up, get up
Put your belongings on your head
Tomorrow we'll leave,
Far away from here
Skipskop, skipskop,
When will it end
Hardship awaits
Just beyond the blue mountains
A man of the Overberg
That's where I was born,
At a place called Skipskop
Just like my father and his father.
Through these dunes, our footsteps run
Here on the beach, beside the sea, I was born
But what else do I know
Besides the waves of the Bloudam
The clouds and the winds that blow here
But sell your boat, pack your belongings
And say farewell to Skipskop, goodbye to Skipskop
The left hand, oh the right hand
Which way do those places lie
Misunderstanding
'Please sir, tell me again
Is this the path we should take tomorrow
A piece here and a piece there
The pieces of my life are all mixed up
Count on me for shorty and for pop
Go get Ape and keep an eye on that child
But what else do I know
Besides the waves of the Blou dam
The clouds and the winds that blow here
Pack your belongings, pack your belongings,
Say goodbye to Skipskop, Skipskop's farewell
Say goodbye to Skipskop, Skipskop's farewell
