Lyrics
Die spook het jou nou gevat
Maar hier waar jy staan
Is net die lede van jou bende
So loop jou gedagtes
En jy hoor in Kimberley hys hulle die vlag van Brittanje
Iewers sterf nog 'n kind in 'n konsentrasie kamp
Maar dis nou alles iets van die verlede
Prinses van wat?
Bobbejaanwyfie dra sulke mooi klere
Koor:
Toe ek weer so kyk
Miskien net vir 'n oomblik
Vang ek 'n spook
Ek dink ek is 'n siener
Sê vir Jannie Hattingh
Ek sal dit altyd onthou
Sê vir Van Tonder
Ek stel dit hoog op prys
Weet nie of ek jou ooit weer gaan sien
Hulle sê al die rebelle word dood geskiet
Almal wat hulle kry
Noord van die Oranje Rivier
Net vir die koning
Net vir sy plesier
Koor
Lyrics translation
The ghost has your now quick-witted
But here where you stand
Are just the members of your gang
So walk your thoughts
And you hear in Kimberley hoisting them up the flag of Britain
Somewhere die still a child in a concentration camp
But it's now all a thing of the past
Princess of what?
Bobbejaanwyfie wear such pretty clothes
Chorus:
When I again so look
Maybe just for a moment
Do I catch a ghost
I think I'm a seer
Say for Jannie Hattingh
I will always remember
Say for Of Tinder
I set it high on price
Don't know if I ever go again see
They say all the rebels to be shot to death
All that they get
North of the Orange River
Just for the king
Just for his pleasure
Chorus
