Hugo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tussen die spoorweg ennie nasionale pad, op die muur van sy stoep hang die horings van ’n bok
In sy agterplaas groei ’n perskeboom langs ’n groot ou duiwehok
Op daai duiwe is hy trots, hulle maak sy hart so bly, die silwer bekers op sy pelmet staan so in ’n ry
Ja, hy is Krisjan Swart, hy’s wyd en syd geken vir sy duiwe wat so vinnig vlieg en pryse vir hom wen
Krisjan se vrou is lekker rond en vet in haar hare dra sy curlers, in haar mond ’n sigaret
Op daai vrou is hy so trots, sy maak sy hart so bly al is sy nie jonk nie kan sy nog lekker vry
Sy's Wilmina Swart, hulle ken haar wyd en syd vir haar melktert en mosbolletjies, haar beroemde boerbeskuit
Krisjan se dogter's met ’n prokureur getrou
Hy’t vir haar ’n groot wit huis in Riebeeckpark gebou
Die kaggel in die sitkamer is mooi met klip versier, ’n skildery van Tafelberg hang ook daar teen die muur
Op daai dogter is hy trots, sy maak sy hart so bly al is sy nie mooi nie het sy haar man gekry
Sy is Johanna Swart, sy's die vrou van die prokureur en haar lippies en haar vingernaels is dieselfde bloedrooi kleur
Krisjan se seun is lekker fris gebou maar sy stem is ’n bietjie hoog en sy broek is ’n bietjie nou
Sy hare dra hy lank en hy speel ook die kitaar
Krisjan vra sy vrou, waar kom die seun vandaan
Op daai seun is hy nie trots nie, hy maak sy hart so seer, kan ek tog sy pa wees wil Krisjan redeneer
Ja, hy is Krisjan Swart, hy’t ook sy pa se naam, maar sy hare en sy kitaar speel maak sy pa so skaam
Bokant die stasie daar woon die Swart gesin
Krisjan drink net brannewyn, Wilmina drink net gin
Hulle sit daar op die stoep in die skemerlig so flou
Hulle kyk hoe vlieg die duiwe, sirkels teen die blou
Hulle sit daar op die stoep in die skemerlig so flou en kyk hoe vlieg die duiwe, sirkels teen die blou
The lyrics to Hugo's song "Krisjan Swart" tell the story of the Swart family, who live above the station. Krisjan Swart is well-known for his fast-flying and prize-winning pigeons. He takes pride in these birds, as evidenced by the silver cups displayed on his pelmet. Despite not being young anymore, Krisjan's wife, Wilmina Swart, is described as round and proud. She is often seen wearing curlers in her hair and smoking a cigarette, while also keeping an eye on the gardener who is watering the backyard. Wilmina is known for her milk tart, mosbolletjies, and famous farm-style biscuits.
Krisjan and Wilmina have a daughter who has married a lawyer and now lives in a big white house in Riebeeckpark. Krisjan is proud of his daughter and her ability to secure a wealthy husband, even if she is not conventionally beautiful. Her husband is mentioned to have the same striking red color on his lips and fingernails as she does.
On the other hand, Krisjan's son does not bring him pride and joy. Despite having a fit physique, he is described as having a high voice and wearing tight pants. He has long hair and plays the guitar, which prompts Krisjan to question his wife about the boy's origin. Krisjan is disappointed in his son and feels ashamed, as his appearance and musical pursuits do not align with what Krisjan believes a man should be.
The lyrics also describe the Swart family's habits and environment. Krisjan drinks brandy, while Wilmina prefers gin. They often sit on their stoop in the dim twilight, observing the pigeons flying in circles against the blue sky. This scene portrays a sense of tranquility and contentment as the family enjoys their simple pleasures in life.
Overall, the lyrics depict the different family members and their individual characteristics while highlighting Krisjan's pride and disappointment in his loved ones. The song seems to reflect the complexities and dynamics within a family, as well as the emotions that come with familial relationships.
