Snoekie
Robbie Wessels Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
En ons almal is daar om ons groot vriend se meisie te sien
Sy maak haar debut op die dansvloer na jare se wag
En Hendrik haar boyfriend staan reg om te kyk wie lag
En ons drink whisky hier by Teazers
En Snoekie dans so mooi
En ons almal se speedometers
Want jy's pragtig Snoekie
Al is jou broek nie aan
En net daar besef ons Snoekie is 'n man
Nou vir Hendrik was daai aand 'n bittere pil om te sluk
Want vir maande het hy elke naweek vir haar vasgedruk
Vir maande was Hendrik ons groot vriend se hart baie seer
Want sy't altyd gesê dis haar sleutels of haar geweer
En ons drink whisky hier by Teazers
En Snoekie dans weer mooi
En ons almal se speedometers
Is nie meer in die rooi
Want jy's pragtig Snoekie
Maar hou net aan jou broek
Want Hendrik het al klaar teveel gevloek
Nou drink ons brandy hier by Presleys
Want Hendrik het gevra
Dat ons asseblief moet padgee
Want ons kan ons nie gedra
Brandy en cola ons kyk vir Lola
En sy dans net so rof
Maar Hendrik sê sy's donners onbeskof
The song "Snoekie" by Robbie Wessels is about a group of friends who gather at a strip club called Teazers to see their friend's girlfriend, who is making her debut on the dance floor after years of waiting. They drink whisky and admire Snoekie, who is a beautiful dancer. However, towards the end of the song, they realize that Snoekie is actually a man, causing much amusement and embarrassment. The song also touches on the jealousy and hurt that one of the friends, Hendrik, feels towards his own unfaithful girlfriend.
The lyrics of the song are amusing and somewhat irreverent, but they also reveal a complex web of emotions and relationships between the characters. The strip club setting adds a layer of sleaze and excitement to the story, but the song ultimately celebrates the loyalty and camaraderie of the friends, even as they navigate painful and difficult situations.
Overall, "Snoekie" is a catchy and funny song with deeper themes lurking beneath the surface. It is a testament to Robbie Wessels's skill as a songwriter that he is able to balance humor and heart in such a memorable way.

En net daar besef ons Snoekie is 'n man
And just then we realize Snoekie is a man
Nou vir Hendrik was daai aand 'n bittere pil om te sluk
Now for Hendrik, that evening was a bitter pill to swallow
Want vir maande het hy elke naweek vir haar vasgedruk
Because for months he had held her tight every weekend
Vir maande was Hendrik ons groot vriend se hart baie seer

Maar hou net aan jou broek
But keep your pants on
Want Hendrik het al klaar teveel gevloek
Because Hendrik has already cursed too much
Nou drink ons brandy hier by Presleys
Now we drink brandy here at Presleys
Want Hendrik het gevra
Because Hendrik asked
Dat ons asseblief moet padgee
That we please leave
Want ons kan ons nie gedra
Because we can't behave ourselves
Brandy en cola ons kyk vir Lola
Brandy and cola, we're watching Lola
En sy dans net so rof
And she dances just as roughly
Maar Hendrik sê sy's donners onbeskof
But Hendrik says she's damn rude
