For those struggling
to understand Afrikaans in the New South Africa...
| Verlede
jaar het ek en my swaer en my skoonseun per vliegtuig na Windhoek gereis om veral die dierelewe van Namibië te besigtig. |
Last
year, me and my heavy and my cleanson travelled by flying harness to Windcorner specially to belook the animal-living in Namibia. |
| In
die Noorde het ons toe volop springbokke, steenbokke, blesbokke, kameelperde en ook meerkatte gesien. |
In the North
we then saw full-up jumping goats, brick buck, bald buck, camel horses and also more cats. |
| Een keer was
ons senuwees egter skoon op hol. |
One time genuine
our sinews were clean on hollow. |
| Ons het agtergekom
dat ‘n luiperd besig was om ons te bekruip. |
We aftercame
that a lazy horse was busy becreeping us. |
| In ‘n
oomblik was ons slaggereed met ons dubbelloop haelgewere. |
In an uncle
tin we were slaughter ready with our double walk hailguns. |
| Toe die luiperd
agter die bos roer, skiet ons almal gelyk. |
When the lazy
horse mixed behind the bush, we all shot equal. |
| Na alles verby
was, was ons hare baie deurmekaar. Ons het dit toe netjies gemaak, in die bakkie geklim en huis toe gery. |
After all was
past, our hairs were very through each other. We then made it into small nets, we climbed into the dish, and rode home. |
| Langs die pad
het ons ‘n papwiel gekry. |
Along the road
we got a porridge wheel. |
| So het ons lang,
opwindende dag geëindig. |
So did our long,
winding-up day end. |
And I thought
it was all quite simple...
