Die Mystic Boer
The Mystic Boer
Op 'n vaal vlakte
On a pale plain
Het ons hom die eerste keer gewaar
My darling girl, we first caught sight of him
Hy't snaaks gedans en weggeraak
He danced so strangely and vanished
In 'n waas van walms en wind
In a haze of fumes and wind
Daar was klowe in die verte
There were ravines in the distance
En die son was nog jonk
And the sun was still young
En grys voëls het ons dopgehou
And gray birds kept watch on us
Toe ons onder die oggend vir mekaar geknik het
When beneath the morning sky we nodded to each other
Ons gaan hom jag
We're going to hunt him down
Die newels het gewink
The mists beckoned
Die dag het geruik na nuwe bloed
The day smelled of fresh blood
En gebreek
And broke
Veertig dae en veertig nagte
Forty days and forty nights
Soek ons die mystic boer
We sought the mystic farmer
Maar soos die perde van middernag-gedagtes
But like the horses of midnight thoughts
Bly hy op sy hoede en loer
He remains on his guard and peeps
Oor sy skouer
Over his shoulder
Ons loop deur die leegte
We walk through the void
Met ons vasgepen op 'n stofwolk
With our eyes fixed on a cloud of dust
Waar sy voete die aarde ontstig het
Where his feet have unsettled the earth
Met passies vol punk en plesierigheid
With passions full of punk and pleasure
Die môrestond het ons blinkgesmeer met vars hoop
The morning has polished us with fresh hope
Op geluk en wysheid en vreugde
Of happiness and wisdom and joy
En vure vol verskeidenheid
And fires full of variety
En lig
And light
Na die berge, na die klowe, na die spelonke
To the mountains, to the ravines, to the caves
Dwarrel die gees
The spirit swirls
Terwyl ons, die jagters, hom bestorm
While we, the hunters, storm him
Met nette en tralies
With nets and bars
En tyd
And time
Veertig dae en veertig nagte
Forty days and forty nights
Soek ons die mystic boer
We seek the mystic farmer
Maar soos die perde van middernag-gedagtes
But like the horses of midnight thoughts
Bly hy op sy hoede en loer
He stays on his guard and peeps
Oor sy skouer
Over his shoulder
Die grense van ons mission
The boundaries of our mission
Was slegs die wind en weer
Were only the wind and weather
Die bliksems en donders wat bangpraat
The lightnings and thunders that frighten
En reën bring om stof te kanselleer
And bring rain to cancel dust
Hoe groter die drang na ontmoeting
The greater the urge to meet
Met die koning van die nuwe asem
With the king of new breath
Hoe woester die tog
The wilder the journey
En hoe stiller
And the quieter
Daar was 'n skaduwee om merker te speel
There was a shadow to play marker
En 'n uptempo rouklaag die magnet
And an uptempo dirge the magnet
En visioene van nuwe dinge
And visions of new things
Was oral
Were everywhere
Veertig dae en veertig nagte
Forty days and forty nights
Soek ons die mystic boer
We seek the mystic farmer
Maar soos die perde van middernag-gedagtes
But like the horses of midnight thoughts
Bly hy op sy hoede en loer
He stays on his guard and peeps
Oor sy skouer
Over his shoulder
Skielik was daar niks
Suddenly there was nothing
Behalwe 'n vaal vlakte en die son
Except a pale plain and the sun
Was ons alleen met water en jeans
We were alone with water and jeans
Die danser was weg
The dancer was gone
Teen middernag was die maan treurig en mooi
At midnight the moon was sad and beautiful
En die grond het gesmaak na sout
And the ground tasted of salt
En toe die nuwe oggend opstaan uit die berg
And when the new morning rose from the mountain
Het grys voëls ons dopgehou
Gray birds kept watch on us
So as jy hom sien, en jy wil hom soek
So if you see him, and you want to find him
Doen dit gerus
Go ahead
Want dis 'n groot avontuur
Because it is a great adventure
Alhoewel jy eindig
Although you end
Waar jy begin het
Where you began
Veertig dae en veertig nagte
Forty days and forty nights
Soek ons die mystic boer
We sought the mystic farmer
Maar soos die perde van middernag-gedagtes
But like the horses of midnight thoughts
Bly hy op sy hoede en loer
He stays on his guard and peeps
Oor sy skouer met 'n vreemde grynslag
Over his shoulder with a strange grin
En dans in die nánag met die maan
And dances in the dead of night with the moon
Oor sy skouer met 'n oog wat uitdaag
Over his shoulder with an eye that challenges
Kom nader, kom vra my my naam
Come closer, come ask me my name
Ek's die Mystic Boer
I'm the Mystic Farmer
Die Mystic Boer
The Mystic Farmer
Ek's die Mystic Boer
I'm the Mystic Farmer
Die Mystic Boer
The Mystic Farmer
