THE WENCH!

THE WENCH!
© Farouk Asvat


Be gone with you
You and your swinging buttocks
I do not stir myself with you
Here I do not want to loiter
Between your wet thighs
An' lovely words
Here I do not sleep
With the wench of a beautiful mistress
Apartheid's most beloved

DIE MEIT!
© Farouk Asvat


Gaan met djou
Djy en djou swaaiende sterre
Ek steur my nie aan djou
Hier will ek nie lol
Tussen djou nat bene
En liewe woorde
Hier slaap ek nie
Met die meit van 'n mooi mistress
Apartheid se liefste

Bra Frooks is ...
                                []  nes 'n skollie
                                []  'n egte skollie
                                []  'n waare joster
                                []  'n tsotsi
                                []  a real scamp
                                []  streetwise
                                []  the jokerman

Bra Frooks ...
                                []  praat soos 'n skollie
                                []  wietie soos 'n joster
                                []  wietie what-what
                                []  tunes like a durbanite
                                []  speaks like an englishman
