Lyrics
Ek’s 'n doogewone ou met 'n doodgewone vrou
Voor my venster is daar tralies wat sal hou
In my erf het ek 'n pitboel met 'n duidelike doel:
Wie nie hoor sal uitendelik moet voel
Daar is doringdraad gespan
Op elke muur, net waar ek kan
Daar is ligte en sirenes op my dak
Daar’s ook tralies voor die deur
Want wie weet wat kan gebeur
Wees paraat, ou maat, of jy is in die kak
(koor)
Ek het twee kinders en 'n tjor
En 'n Magnum forty-four
Elke Sondag braai ek vleis hier in my tuin
Ja die toekoms is nou helder
Met my vinger op die sneller
Jy kan kwalik sê 'n mens is trigger-happy
Ek het 'n panic button hier
Op my geweer is 'n visier
Ons is gereed as jy kom lol hier in die nag
Daar is 'n gaatjie in my deur
Om flink en vinnig te bespeur
Wie op die drumpel aan die buitekant dalk wag
Ons word gereeld gepatroleer
Want die buurtwag het geleer:
'n grendel is eenvoudig nie genoeg nie
Hulle sê: be safe, be wise
Lock your car, immobilise
As jy nie môreoggend dalk wil werk toe stap nie!
(koor)
Lyrics translation
I'm a doogewone guy with an ordinary wife
Before my window there are bars that will keep
In my yard I have a pitboel with a clear purpose:
Who does not hear will uitendelik should feel
There is barbed wire strung
On every wall, just where I can
There are lights and sirens on my roof
There's also bars in front of the door
Because who knows what can happen
Be paraat, old partner, or you are in the shit
(chorus)
I have two children and a tjor
And a Magnum forty-four
Every Sunday bbq I meat here in my garden
Yes the future is now bright
With my finger on the trigger
You can hardly say one is trigger-happy
I have a panic button here
On my gun is a sights
We are ready if you are coming lol here in the night
There is a hole in my door
To speedily and quickly detected
Who is on the threshold to the outside might be waiting
We are regularly gepatroleer
Because the neighbourhood watch has learned:
A latch is simply not enough
They say: be safe, be wise
Lock your car, immobilise
If you do not môreoggend might want to work step!
(chorus)
