| Jy is my liefling en ek is so bly
| You are my darling and I am so happy
|
| Hier die tyd is verby en jy wag nou vir my
| Here the time is over and you are now waiting for me
|
| Daar by jou woning sien ek weer die lug
| There at your house I see the sky again
|
| En ek weet jy, my liefling, is terug
| And I know you, my darling, are back
|
| As die maan opkom oor die velde
| As the moon rises over the fields
|
| En die sterretjies skyn in die lug
| And the stars shine in the sky
|
| Dan voel ek so lief vir die wêreld
| Then I feel so loved by the world
|
| O ek weet my liefling is nou terug
| Oh i know my darling is back now
|
| Jy is my liefling en ek kom vanaand
| You're my darling and I'm coming tonight
|
| Met die pad deur die land, deur die hek by die rant
| With the road through the country, through the gate at the ridge
|
| Hier by Oom Willem hoor jy die geblaf
| Here at Oom Willem you hear the barking
|
| En jy hoor nou die draf van my perd | And you now hear the trot of my horse |
