Dit is 'n eiland dieHier is nie mense nieOom Jan sny koring in 'n ander land,Hier is net sandDit is 'n eiland dieHier slaan nie blitse nieOom Jan belê sy sente in SwitzerlandKoop 'n nuwe John DeereHy het sy plaas in die Vrystaat, met mielies en veeNa 60 jaar se sweet vir sy seuns gegeeSy vrou in Abudabi soek 'n naaimasjienOom Jan vlieg oral rond hy wil die wêreld sienDit is 'n eiland dieEn niks is veilig nieOom Jan kan glad nie slaap nie, Hy wil skape tel maar dis 'n dorper helHy hoor die taxi's wat teen middernag die straat regeerSirenes en partytjies: waar's hy nou alweer?Hy hoor die doef-doef van 'n stroper wat die kaf sorteerHier moet hy uit, hy is te lank alleenDit is 'n eiland dieDis nie sy mense nieOom Jan verlang na koffie en sy dorsmasjienHy wil die melkweg sienHy mis sy plaas in die Vrystaat, sy mielies en veeDie tannie met 'n kappie en 'n koppie teeDie wind wat in die môre deur die laning veeHy laat sy paspoort stempel Dis die laaste keer.Dit is 'n eiland die Dit is 'n eiland dieDit is 'n eiland die Dit is 'n eiland die SAMRO: Woorde: Sunieda; Musiek: Sunieda
This (here) is an islandThere are no people hereOom Jan is reaping corn in another countryOnly thing (left here) is sandThis (here) is an islandYou won't find any lightning hereOom Jan is investing every cent in SwitzerlandHe buys a new John Deere (tractor)He gave his farm in the Free State – with maize and cattle –to his sons after 60 years of sweatingHis waif is in Abu Dabi, searching for a sewing machineOom Jan is flying all over, he wants to see the world This (here) is an islandNothing is safeOom Jan can't sleep, he wants to count sheepBut he is in a Dorset (a kind of sheep) hellHe hears the taxis that rule the streets at midnightSirens and parties: where is he again?He hears the doef-doef sound of a sorting chaffHe has to get out of here, he's been alone too longThis (here) is an islandThese are not his peopleOom Jan misses coffee and his He wants to see the milky way
