gistraand se party is oor en uit
die son begin oor die berge kruip
en die wiele draai - ja die wiele draai
vanaand begin ons weer van voor
ons hou aan soek ja oor en oor
en my hart is vol - ja my hart is vol
gaan dit hier wees waar ek jou gaan kry
gaan die voeltjies vanaand weer koring sny

hokaai stoppie lorrie
dis hier waar ek vanaand wil bly
hokaai stoppie lorrie
vanaand is dit net ek en jy
hokaai stoppie lorrie
bring al jou pelle saam
hokaai stoppie lorrie
ons gaan dans dat die stof so staan
bokka lyk so mooi vanaand
daars daai girl van gister aand
en my hart is vol - ja my hart is vol
gaan dit hier wees waar ek jou gaan kry
vanaand gaan ons twee koring sny
hokaai stoppie lorrie
dis hier waar ek vanaand wil bly
hokaai stoppie lorrie
vanaand is dit net ek en jy
hokaai stoppie lorrie
