Laatnag het die reuse maan Die kerk se klok verlig En toe sien ek die hoenderhaan Met glinsterstrepe oor sy rug
En nooit, nog nooit Kon ek hom kry om ook na my te kyk nie Dis óf, sy stert Óf dis die sy van daardie hoenderhaantjie
Van toe af vroeg op my balkon Nog voor die oggendbriesie waai Gaan staan ek daar en kyk vir hom Maar telkens is hy weggedraai
Een môre toe ek opstaan En die blindings van my venster lig Toe sien ek weer die hoenderhaan Met sonstrepe oor sy gesig En lag ek want ek kyk na hom Die eerste keer in jare kyk hy terug
Nog nooit Kon ek hom kry om weer na my te kyk nie Dis óf, sy stert Óf dis die sy van daardie hoenderhaantjie
Laatnag het die reuse maan Die kerk se klok verlig En toe sien ek die hoenderhaan Met glinsterstrepe oor sy rug En kyk ek na die hoenderhaan met glinsterstrepe Oor sy rug Want nooit, nog nooit Kon ek hom kry om weer na my te kyk nie Dis óf, sy stert Óf dis die sy van daardie hoenderhaantjie
En nooit, ja nooit, nog nooit
Late night, the giant moon Illuminated the church bell And then I saw the rooster With shimmering lines over his back
An never, never ever, Could I get him to look at me It's either his tail Or it is the side of that little rooster
From early on my balcony Even before the morning breeze blows I go stand there staring at him By repeatedly he is turned away
And never, never ever Could I get him to also look at me It's either his tail Or it is the side of that little rooster
One morning when I got up And lifted the blinds by my window I saw the rooster again With rays of sun on his face And I laugh because I look at him The first time in years he stares back
No never Could I get him to look at me again It's either his tail Or it is the side of that little rooster
Late night the gain moon Lit up the church clock I saw the rooster With glistening lines over his back And I stare at the rooster with the shiny stripes Over his back ‘Cause never, never ever Could I get him to look at me again It's either his tail Or it is the side of this little rooster
And never, yes, never ever
