Lyrics
As die nag sy baadjie toeknoop oor die veld
En die diereriem sy blink tot teen die skerpioen laat lê;
As die tweeling en die kreef
Kotteljons oor Beaufort-Wes
En die maan sy beker skink oor Graaff-Reinet
Ruik jy katbos en kambro
As dit reën in die Kleinkaroo
My hantamwind
My optelkind
Vanaand
Ruik jy katbos en kambro
As dit reën in die Kleinkaroo
My hantamwind
My optelkind
Vanaand, hier vanaand
In die môre as dit blou word
En die amber wolke roer as die son sy eerste lig
Oor die bitterboela stoot;
As die trein by Noupoort fluit
En dit wegraak in die wind
En 'n tolbos iewers vaswaai teen die rant
Ruik jy katbos en kambro
As dit reën in die Kleinkaroo
My hantamwind
My optelkind
Vanaand
Ruik jy katbos en ruik jy kambro
As dit reën in die Kleinkaroo
My hantamwind
My optelkind
Vanaand, hier vanaand
Ruik jy katbos en ruik jy kambro
As dit reën in die Kleinkaroo
My hantamwind
My optelkind
Vanaand
Ruik jy katbos en ruik jy kambro
As dit reën in die Kleinkaroo
My hantamwind
My optelkind
Vanaand, by my vanaand
Lyrics translation
As the night his coat toeknoop on the field
And the zodiac its shiny to against the scorpion let lay;
As the twins and the lobster
Kotteljons about Beaufort-West
And the moon his cup pours about Graaff-Reinet
Smell you katbos and colt
If it rains in the Kleinkaroo
My hantamwind
My foundling
Tonight
Smell you katbos and colt
If it rains in the Kleinkaroo
My hantamwind
My foundling
Tonight, here tonight
In the morning, if it blue be
And the amber clouds stir as the sun its first light
About the bitterboela push;
As the train at Noupoort flute
And it get lost in the wind
And a tumbleweed somewhere vaswaai against the ridge
Smell you katbos and colt
If it rains in the Kleinkaroo
My hantamwind
My foundling
Tonight
Smell you katbos and smell you colt
If it rains in the Kleinkaroo
My hantamwind
My foundling
Tonight, here tonight
Smell you katbos and smell you colt
If it rains in the Kleinkaroo
My hantamwind
My foundling
Tonight
Smell you katbos and smell you colt
If it rains in the Kleinkaroo
My hantamwind
My foundling
Tonight, with me tonight
