Lyrics

Ja die Aarde is groot en die sterre is klein
Daar’s net akkedisse in die woestyn
Bokke en dorings en die bitter alwyn
Ek en die Ooskus
But it’s not the same
Ek sê: Biscuits en Biltong
Ek is ‘n Weskus klong
Biscuits en Biltong
Ek is 'n Weskus klong
Biscuits en Biltong
Ek is 'n Weskus klong
Gee vir my ‘n sweep
Gee my 'n stok
Gee my 'n vroutjie in 'n bontrooi rok
Gee my die oop veld waar die bokke wei
Daar tussen die klippe sal jy my kry
'Cause
Biscuits en Biltong
Ek is ‘n Weskus klong
Biscuits en Biltong
Ek is 'n Weskus klong
Biscuits en Biltong
Ek is 'n Weskus klong
O die sterre bo die groot stad
En die liggies in die nag
Het my weggetrek en verober
En in die donkerte geslag
En teen die breek van die golwe
En die kraak van die sweep
Het ek bakklei en gestruggle
En toe stadig wegbeweeg
So nou’s ek terug in die oop veld
En terug in die gras
Weer terug waar my voete in die poele rond kan plas
Terug tussend die landerye
En terug tussen die stof
Terug tussen die hoë kranse van die bergrivier se mond
Waar die bier en die braaivleis loop soos die snoek
En waar die grond en die modder vlekke maak op my broek
Terug tussen die wynlande en terug met die tang
Terug op die damwalle waar ek lekker visse kan vang
Terug waar die mense nog waai as jy verby hulle ry
En waar die tannies by die tuisnywerheid pies bak vir my
Waar die kinders in die straat speel
En dit altyd ruik na braai
Want dis my plekkie daai!
Daar’s min waterstrome
Wind en sand en diamantdrome
Koue bloue hemel met geen genade
Cause
Biscuits en Biltong
Ek is ‘n Weskus klong
Biscuits en Biltong
Ek is 'n Weskus klong
Biscuits en Biltong
Ek is 'n Weskus klong
Biscuits en Biltong
Ek is ‘n Weskus klong
Biscuits en Biltong
Ek is 'n Weskus klong
Biscuits en Biltong
Ek is 'n Weskus klong
Biscuits en Biltong
Ek is ‘n Weskus klong
Biscuits en Biltong
Ek is 'n Weskus klong
Biscuits en Biltong
Ek is 'n Weskus klong
Biscuits en Biltong
Ek is ‘n Weskus klong
Biscuits en Biltong
Ek is 'n Weskus klong
Biscuits en Biltong
Ek is 'n Weskus klong

Lyrics translation

Yes the Earth is big and the stars are small
There's only lizards in the desert
Goats and thorns and the bitter alwyn
I and the east Coast
But it's not the same
I say: Biscuits and Jerky
I'm a west Coast klong
Biscuits and Biltong
I'm a west Coast klong
Biscuits and Biltong
I'm a west Coast klong
Give me a whip
Give me a stick
Give me a woman in a bontrooi dress
Give me the open field where the goats graze
There between the stones you will get me
'Cause
Biscuits and Biltong
I'm a west Coast klong
Biscuits and Biltong
I'm a west Coast klong
Biscuits and Biltong
I'm a west Coast klong
Oh the stars above the big city
And the lights in the night
My departed and verober
And in the gloom generation
And at the break of the waves
And the crack of the whip
I bakklei and gestruggle
And then slowly moved away
So now I'm back in the open field
And back in the grass
Back again where my feet in the pools around can puddle
Back tussend the fields
And back between the fabric
Back between the high cliffs of the berg river's mouth
Where the beer and the braai run like the pike
And where the ground and the mud stains on my pants
Back between the winelands and back with the pliers
Back on the dam walls where I nice fish can catch
Back where the people still wave as you pass them driving
And where the aunties at the home industry pies bake for me
Where the children in the street play
And it always smelled of fry
Because it's my spot that!
There's little rivers of water
Wind and sand and diamantdrome
Cold blues heaven with no mercy
Cause
Biscuits and Biltong
I'm a west Coast klong
Biscuits and Biltong
I'm a west Coast klong
Biscuits and Biltong
I'm a west Coast klong
Biscuits and Biltong
I'm a west Coast klong
Biscuits and Biltong
I'm a west Coast klong
Biscuits and Biltong
I'm a west Coast klong
Biscuits and Biltong
I'm a west Coast klong
Biscuits and Biltong
I'm a west Coast klong
Biscuits and Biltong
I'm a west Coast klong
Biscuits en Biltong
Ek is ‘n Weskus klong
Biscuits en Biltong
Ek is 'n Weskus klong
Biscuits en Biltong
Ek is 'n Weskus klong
