The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Die Kind" by Piet Botha.
Lyrics
Willie maak nog net daai oproep
Want jou moeder wil weet
Waar slaap jy vanaand
Dit was alles eintlik so onnodig
Maar wat kan 'n mens nou eintlik se
Ja die kind gaan nou alleeen
In die wye wereld in
Kinders op elke straat
Kinders van die reen
Daar is niks meer om te se nie
Dit maak nie veel meer saak nie
Winter of Somer
Die kind is altyd alleen
Op skool was sy almal se liefling
Ons liewe Elmien
So belowend maar altyd 'n bietjie anders
Sy werk nou die nagskof
Vir die wyse manne van die Ooste
En hulle ryk bedorwe seuntjies
Elke kind het sy eie seer hart
Glimlag, liefde pyn en nog wat
En solank die oë nog lag is die kind seker okay.
Lyrics translation
Willie still makes just that call
Because your mother wants to know
Where do you sleep tonight
It was all actually so unnecessary
But what one can now actually's
Yes the child is now going alleeen
In the wide world in
Children on every street
Children of the rain
There is nothing more to say
It doesn't much more matter
Winter or Summer
The child is always alone
At school, she was everyone's darling
Our dear Elmien
So promising but always a little different
She now works the night shift
For the wise men of the East
And they are rich spoiled little boys
Every child has his own aching heart
Smile, love, pain and more
And as long as the eyes still laughing, the child certainly okay.
