Het jy al ooit gehoor van die “Pampoendans”?Nee, di’s nie ‘n geval van “vat jou kans”Of ‘n “Knyp die kat in die donker”…Nee man, di’s ook nie ‘n Aspoestertjie middernagdans-Is jy dan nou “beskonker”?Nee!! Ook nie ‘n dans met ‘n “stout”!!Jy wéét mos dit sal wees ‘n fout! Laat ek jou eerder vertel…Voor jy my uit ongeduld begin skel…
Di’s ‘n verhaal van ‘n vroutjie met lang blonde hareSy skil daai pampoene, dit klink soos vioolsnareHoor en sien vergaanAs jy my nou reg verstaan…Ek ken nie die uur van die dag, …of dalk is dit ‘n uur in die nag…Die pampoenpitte bêre sy vir laterVir iets wat kwetter en snater… Haar oë skitter soos die verste sterreAs sy haarself in die pampoendans verloor…
The Pumpkin Dance…
If you say you ever heard of the Pumpkin DanceThen surely you’re taking a big, big chance…No, no! It’s not about the gloryOf a Cinderella story! No… Neither a naughty old song!You know that would be so wrong!Hush and come sit here on the floor… Be quiet now, and I’ll tell you more…
It’s a story so fairOf a lady with long blond hairShe is singing and dancing with styleWhile peeling those pumpkins with a big happy smileYes, I know the tale sounds rather rare…But honestly… you must see her…She’s doing it with so much care…And her two little fluffy geeseNibbles on the pumpkin seedsHer Eyes blinking like a thousand stars While she’s doing the pumpkin dance…
