van die storie van my pel
Hy's die middelkind van drie
waar hy bly is daar nie teerpad nie
Hy ken van grondpad loop
na die padstal vir hul brood
Van melk haal by die boer as hy sy hout aan hom verkoop
Jantjie Pieterse my pel van die platteland
Jantjie Pieterse in eenvoud voer jy jou bestaan
Ek kyk na jou en ek wonder waaroor die lewe gaan
Kameraadskap, liefde en vertroue vind ek in jou Jantjie
Jy wat weet van swaarkry as die wintermaande nader kruip
Ouboet vry die meisies
maar jy moet by die huis wees
Om na jou ma te kyk omdat jou pa net daar in gees kan wees
Jantjie Pieterse my pel van die platteland
Hy ry met die donkie om sy sussie by die skool te haal
Jantjie Pieterse in eenvoud voer jy jou bestaan
Ek kyk na jou en ek wonder waaroor die lewe gaan
Dan staan ek by myself en kyk
watter lewe maak mens ryk
Een van tyd en geld
of dalk die een van Jantjie in die veld
Jantjie Pieterse my pel van die platteland
Hy ry met die donkie om sy sussie by die skool te haal
Jantjie Pieterse in eenvoud voer jy jou bestaan
Ek kyk na jou en ek wonder waaroor die lewe gaan
The song "Jantjie Pieterse" by Hugo is about a friend named Jantjie who lives a simple life in the countryside. The singer admires Jantjie's resilience and dedication to his family, as he is the middle child of three and has to take care of his sister by riding the donkey to school to fetch her. Jantjie also knows how to navigate the dirt paths and visit the local store for bread and milk, trading firewood with the farmer.
As the singer reflects on Jantjie's way of living, he wonders about what truly makes life rich and meaningful. Despite the pressures of society to value time and money, he sees the importance of companionship, love and trust, which he has found through his friendship with Jantjie.
The song is a touching tribute to the virtues of a simple, rural lifestyle and the importance of finding meaning in the relationships we have with others.

Kan ek jou vertel
May I tell you
van die storie van my pel
about the story of my friend
Hy's die middelkind van drie
He's the middle child of three
waar hy bly is daar nie teerpad nie
where he lives there are no paved roads
Hy ken van grondpad loop
He knows how to walk on dirt roads
na die padstal vir hul brood
to the roadside stall for their bread
Van melk haal by die boer as hy sy hout aan hom verkoop
Getting milk from the farmer when he sells his firewood to him
Jantjie Pieterse my pel van die platteland
Jantjie Pieterse, my friend from the countryside
Hy ry met die donkie om sy sussie by die skool te haal
He rides with the donkey to pick up his sister from school
Jantjie Pieterse in eenvoud voer jy jou bestaan
Jantjie Pieterse, you live your life in simplicity
Ek kyk na jou en ek wonder waaroor die lewe gaan
I look at you and wonder what life is all about
Kameraadskap, liefde en vertroue vind ek in jou Jantjie
Companionship, love, and trust, I find in you Jantjie
Jy wat weet van swaarkry as die wintermaande nader kruip
You who knows about hardship as the winter months approach
Ouboet vry die meisies
Elder brother pursues the girls
maar jy moet by die huis wees
but you have to be home
Om na jou ma te kyk omdat jou pa net daar in gees kan wees
To look after your mother because your father can only be there in spirit
Dan staan ek by myself en kyk
Then I stand by myself and look
watter lewe maak mens ryk
what kind of life makes a person rich
Een van tyd en geld
One of time and money
of dalk die een van Jantjie in die veld
or perhaps the one of Jantjie in the field
Jantjie Pieterse my pel van die platteland
Jantjie Pieterse, my friend from the countryside
Hy ry met die donkie om sy sussie by die skool te haal
He rides with the donkey to pick up his sister from school
Jantjie Pieterse in eenvoud voer jy jou bestaan
Jantjie Pieterse, you live your life in simplicity
Ek kyk na jou en ek wonder waaroor die lewe gaan
I look at you and wonder what life is all about
