Die Cheetah Song
Robbie Wessels Lyrics

Raak jy nervous as iemand jou try opsom?
Do you get anxious when someone tries to sum you up?

Is jy bang met die slag van ‘n bas drom?
Are you scared of the beat of a bass drum?

Voel jy veilig as a ‘n storm op jou afkom?
Do you feel safe when a storm approaches you?

Hoor jy soms ‘n ding wat voor jou deur grom?
Do you sometimes hear a thing growling in front of you?

Jy raak koud jy raak benoud
You feel cold, you feel trapped

Jy kyk rond en sien niemand kan jou red
You look around and see no one can save you

Jy gryp hastig na jou tokse en jou skrumpet
You quickly grab your bag and your provisions

Ja dis verby as ‘n Cheetah wat al maande lank jou spoor sny
Yes, it's over like a cheetah that's been tracking you for months

Wat maak jy as daai Cheetah jou wil opsom?
What will you do if that cheetah wants to sum you up?

Waantoe hol jy as daai storm op jou afkom?
Where will you run if that storm approaches you?

Hoe reageer jy as ‘n Cheetah voor jou deur grom?
How will you react if a cheetah growls in front of you?

Gryp jou skeermes en jou kouse en jou papsak
Grab your razor and your socks and your bag

Pak jou kleure kam jou hare kry jou rugsak
Pack your hairbrush and get your backpack

Los jou tokse en jou skrumpet op die boekrak
Leave your bag and your provisions on the shelf

Vat die huisbak tot op die dakvlak
Take the car to the rooftop

Haal jou rum en mapelpyp uit jou bo sak
Get your rum and your pipe out of your bag

En kyk vir oulaas hoe die son oor die bult sak
And watch for the last time how the sun sets over the hill

Watch jou rug
Watch your back

Val terug
Fall back

Daar’s ‘n Cheetah in sig
There's a cheetah in sight

Wat jou uitkyk
That's scouting you

Wat jou bloed ruik
That smells your blood
