Jelly Tots
Wynand Strydom Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oppad na jou
In die palms van my hande
Wil ek jou weer vas hou
Kronkel, kronkel paaie
Lei altyd terug na jou
En was daar dalk 'n kort pad
Verby die vynbos vlakte
Die Klein Karoo
Oor die blou, blou berge
Skaam, skaam loer die maan
Donker, donker paaie
Wat lei na wie weet waar
My hande op die stuurwiel
Want ek kom jou haal
Botter bekkie baby
Jy's my heuning so soet soos stroop
En ek love you lots net soos Jelly Tots
In ons rooidak liefdes huisie
Maak ons, ons kinders groot
Botter bekkie baby jy's my heuning so soet soos stroop
Stofpad vol beloftes
Terug na jou
In die rigting van die Suiderkruis het ek my reeds by jou
Kronkel, kronkel paaie
Geluk om die draai
Die lang pad was 'n kort pad
Want ek is nou by jou
Botter bekkie baby
Jy's my heuning so soet soos stroop
En ek love you lots net soos Jelly Tots
In ons rooidak liefdes huisie
Maak ons, ons kinders groot
Botter bekkie baby jy's my heuning so soet soos stroop
Verlang kronkel, kronkel
Deur my hart vanaand
Ek is op die langpad
Ek kom jou haal
Botter bekkie baby
Jy's my heuning so soet soos stroop
Ek love you lots net soos Jelly Tots
In ons rooidak liefdes huisie
Maak ons, ons kinders groot
Botter bekkie baby jy's my heuning so soet soos stroop
Botter bekkie baby jy's my heuning so soet soos stroop

The song opens up with the singer expressing his intention to reach his loved one, no matter how long the journey may be. He reminisces about the winding paths that always bring him back to her and wonders if there might have been a shorter way to reach her. The singer then describes the beautiful landscape they must cross to be together, the vynbos flats, the Klein Karoo, and the blue mountains, where the moon shyly peeks out.
The song then moves on to describe the possibility of getting lost on the dark roads that lead to an unknown destination. However, the singer feels safe holding the wheel because his destination is his beloved, whom he is determined to reach.

Stofpad vol beloftes
A path of promises, I'll follow to you
Oppad na jou
On my way to you
In die palms van my hande
In the palm of my hands
Wil ek jou weer vas hou
I want to hold you again
Kronkel, kronkel paaie
Winding roads
Lei altyd terug na jou
Always lead back to you
En was daar dalk 'n kort pad
And maybe there was a short path
Was ek al reeds by jou
And I was already with you
Verby die vynbos vlakte
Past the fynbos plateau
Die Klein Karoo
The Little Karoo
Oor die blou, blou berge
Over the blue mountains
Skaam, skaam loer die maan
The moon shyly peeks
Donker, donker paaie
Dark roads
Wat lei na wie weet waar
Leading to who knows where
My hande op die stuurwiel
My hands on the steering wheel
Want ek kom jou haal
Because I'm coming to get you
Botter bekkie baby
Butter-mouthed baby
Jy's my heuning so soet soos stroop
You're my honey, so sweet like syrup
En ek love you lots net soos Jelly Tots
And I love you lots just like Jelly Tots
In ons rooidak liefdes huisie
In our red-roofed love cottage
Maak ons, ons kinders groot
We raise our children
Terug na jou
Back to you
In die rigting van die Suiderkruis het ek my reeds by jou
In the direction of the Southern Cross, I'm already with you
Geluk om die draai
Happiness around the corner
Die lang pad was 'n kort pad
The long road was a short road
Verlang kronkel, kronkel
Longing winding
Deur my hart vanaand
Through my heart tonight
Ek is op die langpad
I am on the long road
Botter bekkie baby
Butter-mouthed baby
Jy's my heuning so soet soos stroop
You're my honey, so sweet like syrup
Ek love you lots net soos Jelly Tots
And I love you lots just like Jelly Tots
Botter bekkie baby jy's my heuning so soet soos stroop
Butter-mouthed baby, you're my honey so sweet like syrup
