Slawereën

歌詞

Daar was blitse en hael en ʼn wille noordwes toe Limietberg se slawe hulle diepste dors les Hulle dans en hulle drink Van die druppels wat val In die middel van die somer Toe die koets hulle kom haal Koor: Die slawereën die slawereën die slawereën Die son bak neer op ʼn sopnat plein Kettings is weg Die boeie het verdwyn Koor x2 There was lightning and hail and a wild north-westerly wind when Limietberg’s slaves could quench their deepest thirsts They dance and they drink of the drops that fall in the middle of summer when the coach came to fetch them Chorus: Slave rain slave rain slave rain The sun bakes down on a drenched square Chains are gone Irons disappeared Chorus x2 --- Translation by Cyril Klopper ---
