Lullaby

Lamtietie damtietie doe-doe my liefstetjie

Moederhart rowertjie, dierbaarste diefstetjie
Luister hoe fluister die wind deur die boompetjie
heen en weer wieg hy hom al oor die stroompetjie
 Doe-doe-doe blaretjie, slapenstyd nadertjie
Doe-doe-doe blommetjie, nag is aan kommetjie
So sing die windjie vir blaartjies en blommetjies.
Lullaby

Lamtie-tie damtie-tie hush my baby

Robber of your mother's heart, dearest thief
Listen to the wind whispering through the trees
It lulls the trees across the streamlet.

Go to sleep, all the leaves, time for sleep is coming

Go to sleep, all the flowers, night is coming
That is the song of the wind for all the leaves and flowers.

HANSIE SLIM
Woorde: A.D.E. GUTSCHE: Vers 1; P. MCLACHLAN: Vers 2
Musiek: Volkswysie; verwerk: CHRIS LAMPRECHT

Hansie slim, berg wil klim, gaan die wye wêreld in.
Stok en hoed pas hom goed, hy is vol van moed.
Maar sy ma wil hom gaan haal, Hans het dalkies al verdwaal!
Moeder sug, so bedug: "Hansie kom tog t'rug".

Hansie swoeg, baie moeg, hoog geklim, dit is genoeg!

Omdraai nou, 'k sê vir jou, bergklim nie weer gou!
Tuis smeer ma die salfies aan, Hans voel gou weer pure man!
Eerste keer, les geleer, eendag weer probeer!
