Van Coke Kartel Dankie, Ek Is Veilig Hier
Afrikaans:
[Koor]
Kom ons staan opsy
En wag vir ons fortuin
Terwyl ons opgaar en ons self --- die vrede verdienste
Vir niemand anders
Los die kruis buite op die sypaadjie
Dankie ek is veilig hier
Loop skellum loop
Die pad is lank, en ek het kla my kleingeld weg gegeë
My siel verplaas in die atmosfeer
Bly en leef, want jou dood sal ek nooit verwerk en
Al is daar hoop, is dit niet sonder harde werk
[Koor]
Vind skuiling onder die brug
Die nag is swaar, en ek ek het klaar by jou (keurig?)
My brein verruil vir navorsing
As ons saam sal brand, maak dit saak wie die meeste hier op aarde het
Hoeveel moet ek spandeer?
Hoeveel moet ek spandeer?
[Koor]
Maar ek het nog niks hier uit geleer nie
Ouer is net gelyk aan dommer
Dankie, ek is veilig hier
English:
[Chorus]
Let us stand aside
And wait for our fortune
While we gather more and gorge ourselves
On the wicked wages
For no one else
Please leave the cross out there on the sidewalk
Thank you I am safe here
Walk swindler walk
The road is long and I’ve already given all my change away
My soul displaced to the atmosphere
Stay alive, because I could never deal with your demise
Even if there’s hope it’s never without hard work
[Chorus]
Find shelter under the bridge
The night is long and I’ve already dumped all my old clothes
Exchanged my brain for research
If we burn together, does it matter who has the most here on earth
How much do I have to spend?
How much do I have to spend?
Thank you, I am safe here
[Chorus]
But I still haven’t learnt anything from all of this
Older now just equals dumber
Thank you, I am safe here
