Hak Hom Blokkies - Steve Hofmeyr

Composer：D. Kramer

The moustache on his lip is pencil thin

Like the middle path through his hair

And although his friends call him Blokkies

His wife would calls him joubert

Ag christina christina he thinks to himself

You never could understand

What it feels like to dummy and to sidestep

With a leather ball in your hands

Man it's hard to believe

This is Blokkies joubert

The hooker in the springbok scrum

'Cause he's old and grey

And he sits in his chair

In the slanting winter sun

But he made his name with that wonderful game that he played

In 1931

Well he sits in the lounge of the old age home

Just north of beaufort west

As he watches a tv program

Of the springbok rugby test

Aas the images flicker upon the screen

He can hear the manne call

They say

Hak hom

Hak hom Blokkies

And Blokkies hak daai ball

En ons sê

Druk hulle

Druk hulle bokkies

Druk hulle mannetjies flou

Hak hulle hak Blokkies

Hak hulle bolletjie gou

Lig julle kniee druk julle

Driee daar agter die doellyn nou

He sits there in the afternoon sun

His memories come and go

He can clearly recall Bennie Osler

And Boy and Fanie Louw

Yes there they stand with the rest

Of the team

In the photograph on the wall

And if you ask him he will show you

Where they signed his rugby ball

Een ons sê

Druk hulle

Druk hulle bokkies

Druk hulle mannetjies flou

Hak hulle hakulle Blokkies

Hak hulle bolletjie gou

Lig julle kniee druk julle driee daar agter die doellyn nou

Ja ons ouens was rof in die ou dae

But we played the gentleman's game

But it's all been spoiled by politics

As never going to be the same

So he drifts back to the old days

As he hears the manne call

They say

Hak hom

Hak hom Blokkies

Haaa Blokkies hak daai ball

En ons sê

Druk hulle

Druk hulle bokkies

Druk hulle mannetjies flou

Hak hulle hakulle Blokkies

Hak hulle bolletjie gou

Lig julle kniee druk julle driee daar agter die doellyn nou

En ons sê

Druk hulle druk hulle bokkies

Ha druk hulle mannetjies flou

Hak hulle hak Blokkies

Hak hulle bolletjie gou

Lig julle kniee druk julle driee daar agter die doellyn nou
