James Phillips - Hou My Vas Korporaal
Hou my vas, korporaal
Ek's 'n kind skoon verdwaal
Gaan ek weer my tjerrie sien
As ek van die trein afklim?
Ja, sowaar, korporaal
Dis mos swaar, korporaal
Ek speel oorlog met my beste dae
Ja ja ja, ek en al my maatjies
bymekaar
Bymekaar Sal so doen, kolonel
Sal nie weier alhoewel
Elke dag is deurgekruis
Een dag nader aan my huisJames Phillips - Hou My Vas Korporaal - http://motolyrics.com/james-phillips/hou-my-vas-korporaal-lyrics-english-translation.html
Hot en haar, korporaal
Ek word naar, korporaal
My ou man se eerste kamp is klaar
Ja ja ja, amper al sy maatjies bymekaar, bymekaaar
Oogklappe bring die skoon gewete
Dis my plig dis nie my keuse
Hier sit ek, ek sit en vrek
Dis nie my skuld maar ek hou my bek
[korporaal voice: Hou jou bek!] Sy's my nooi en haar naam is "Min Dae"
Ja ja ja, ek en all my maatjies bymeekaar
Bymekaar, bymekaar
Ja ja ja ja ja ja ja ja
Ja ja ja ja ja ja ja ja, korporaal!
James Phillips - Hold me tight Corporal (English translation)
Hold me tight, Corporal
I'm a child completely lost
Am I going to see my girlfriend again
when I get off the train?
Yes, indeed, Corporal
It is hard, Corporal
I play war with the best of my days
Yes yes yes, all my friends and I
Together
Together
Will do so, Corporal
Will not refuse although
each day is checked
One day closer to my homeJames Phillips - Hou My Vas Korporaal - http://motolyrics.com/james-phillips/hou-my-vas-korporaal-lyrics-english-translation.html
Here and there, Corporal
I feel nauseous, Corporal
My old man's first camp is done
Yes yes yes, almost all his friends together, together
Eye patches bring a clean conscience
It is my duty, not my choice
Here I sit, I sit and die
It isn't my fault but I shut my mouth
(Corporal voice: Shut your mouth!)
She's my girl and her name is "Few Days"
Yes yes yes, all my friends and I together
Together, together
yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes
yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes, Corporal!
