Hugo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Toe die wat dit vertel nog kinders was
Het 'n siel geswerf wat kind was maar op sy manier 'n man
Gebore om die berge op te pas
En as die donderwolke saamsweer teen die kranse by die kloof
En die dag word soos 'n sterrelose nag
En die dreuning van die donder elke ander klank verdoof
Want die kranse was sy mure
En die hemel was sy dak
En sy vriende was die donder en die reën
En wanneer hy klippe bergaf rol en doringboompies knak
Was hy die berg die storm alles een
En die bliksem skeur die hemel
En die wind se wolwehuil
Nooi die berg se stroefste bome vir die dans
En mens en dier wat vreesbevange teen die storm skuil
Hoor sy lied weerklink van krans tot krans
Lank gelede by die kloof aan die Magaliesberg se hang
Na nagte teen die kranse in die reën
Het 'n siel geswerf wat kind was
Maar op sy manier 'n man
En daarna was die berge weer alleen
Tog die mense die vertel my as jy op 'n stormsnag
Sy spoor vat teen die krans uit en daar skuil
Hoor jy soms iemand iewers bo die donderslae lag
En somtyds weer dan hoor jy iemand huil

Lank gelede by die kloof aan die Magaliesberg se hang
Long ago, at the gorge on the side of Magaliesberg mountain range
Toe die wat dit vertel nog kinders was
When those who tell the tale were still children
Het 'n siel geswerf wat kind was maar op sy manier 'n man
A soul wandered there, once a child, but in his own way, a man
Gebore om die berge op te pas
Born to watch over the mountains
En as die donderwolke saamsweer teen die kranse by die kloof
And when the thunderclouds gather against the cliffs at the gorge
En die dag word soos 'n sterrelose nag
And the day becomes like a starless night
En die dreuning van die donder elke ander klank verdoof
And the rumble of thunder drowns out every other sound
Het almal op sy vreugdeslied gewag
Everyone waited for his song of joy
Want die kranse was sy mure
Because the cliffs were his walls
En die hemel was sy dak
And the sky was his roof
En sy vriende was die donder en die reën
And his friends were the thunder and rain
En wanneer hy klippe bergaf rol en doringboompies knak
And when he rolls rocks down and breaks thorn bushes
Was hy die berg die storm alles een
He was the mountain, the storm, everything all at once
En die bliksem skeur die hemel
And the lightning tears the sky
En die wind se wolwehuil
And the wind's wolflike howl
Nooi die berg se stroefste bome vir die dans
Invites the mountain's stiffest trees to dance
En mens en dier wat vreesbevange teen die storm skuil
And people and animals cower in fear, hiding from the storm
Hoor sy lied weerklink van krans tot krans
Hearing his song resonate from cliff to cliff
Lank gelede by die kloof aan die Magaliesberg se hang
Long ago, at the gorge on the side of Magaliesberg mountain range
Na nagte teen die kranse in die reën
After nights against the cliffs in the rain
Het 'n siel geswerf wat kind was
A soul wandered there, once a child
Maar op sy manier 'n man
But in his own way, a man
En daarna was die berge weer alleen
And afterwards, the mountains were alone again
Tog die mense die vertel my as jy op 'n stormsnag
Yet people tell me that on a stormy night
Sy spoor vat teen die krans uit en daar skuil
He ventures out along the cliff and hides there
Hoor jy soms iemand iewers bo die donderslae lag
Sometimes you can hear someone laughing above the thunderclaps
En somtyds weer dan hoor jy iemand huil
And sometimes then, you hear someone crying
