Med Lamartines Reise i Oriente
Imellem Bogens Ryg og Rand,
Du finder det hele Østerland.

Hytten
Hvor Bølgen høit mod Kysten slaaer,
En ganske lille Hytte staaer,
Men rundt om paa det hele Næs,
Man finder ei en Plet med Græs,
Kun Himmel, Hav og nøgent Sand
Omgiver Hyttens Drømmeland;
Der kan man Paradiset finde,
Thi Kjærligheden boer derinde.
Ei Sølv, ei Guld man finder der,
Men to, som har hinanden kjær,
See Kys og Smiil paa Læben leer,
Og Øiet dybt i Øiet seer;
De tale ei det mindste Ord,
Glemt er den hele, store Jord,
Med al dens Kamp, dens Fryd og Smerte,
Her svulmer Hjerte kun mod Hjerte.

Man finder det passende, finder det smukt
Man finder det passende, finder det smukt,
Naar jeg synger om Svanernes Sang og Flugt,
Om det svulmende Hav, om Stjernernes Pragt,
Om Guds Natur i dens Fylde og Magt;
Men synger jeg ud mit Hjertes Sang,
Ved Synet af Spaniens deilige Qvinder,
Den svulmende Skjønhed, den svævende Gang,
De Øine, de Fødder, de flammende Blikke,
Saa sige de strax, det passer sig ikke,
Den nordiske Fromhed og Klædning vi savne.
Men jeg veed i Spanien ei Ord eller Navne
For Tanken, undtagen — „at kysse og favne!"
I Paradiishaven, som Spanien staaer nær,
Det Deiligste det var jo Eva der,
Og alt det Deiligste, skabt af Gud,
I Kjærlighed synger mit Hjerte ud!

Imellem fattigt Græs og Urt
Imellem fattigt Græs og Urt
Tidt blomstrer Skjønheds Rose,
Og Liliens Bæger reent og puurt
Staaer frem fra vildsom Mose.
Spørg ikke om hvor Planten groer,
Men hvad af Gud der i den boer!

Misfortune Of A Aurora East Rand Mineworker
A 36 year old man works months without payment
at the Aurora East Rand gold mine
under the illusion from the black owners, promising
that salaries are following, but without receiving money.
In January he only receives ten percent of his salary
(which is just eighteen hundred rand)
while the company owns him for eighteen months
and the government does nothing against the black owners
he looks for other employment everywhere
but is not able to find anything else,
he is put out of his house and has to leave it
finding nowhere to go to
things get too much for the poor man,
he looses his cars, his furniture
and almost every thing that he possess,
in his thoughts he is at the edge of the abyss,
he does not know how to put food on the table,
tries to hang himself three times on one night
where his wife stops him just in time
and now she is really scared
that he will try to suicide again.

Den nye Sprøite
En Sprøite har vi faaet nu,
Der sprøiter saa det er en Gru!
Vor hele Bye er sjæleglad,
Den evig see paa Sprøiten gad,
Og paa dens store, tykke Straale;
Men Sprøiten kan det ikke taale!
Ak, hvor den Sprøite er os kjær!
Den er jo alle lige nær!
Og baade Pige, Dreng og Svend,
Faae Lov at gaae paa Torvet hen,
Thi der er Tromme jo og Fløite,
Hver Gang vi prøve med vor Sprøite!
Ved Raadhuus-Døren sidder ned
Den hele, høie Øvrighed,
Og alle Byens Damer staae
I Vinduet og see derpaa,
Mens Drengene af Glæde skraale,
Og vandes af den store Straale.
Den Sprøite, ja den Sprøite her,
Den sætter Liv dog i enhver!
Selv jeg, saa tidt jeg Sprøiten seer,
Det er, som Hjertet i mig leer,
Jeg glemmer Trommen selv og Fløiten,
Thi al min Tanke er i Sprøiten!

To say "I love you" one must first be able to say the "I".
The question isn't who is going to let me; it's who is going to stop me.

Today I saw a man
Today I saw a man,
probably a grandpa,
standing with a short shirt and pants
in the sun
while life passes him.
Somehow things went terribly wrong
and he was almost stripped naked
and burnt red
and while we talked
he left a deep impression
on me.
Other Afrikaners avoided him
like the plague
too scared
to also get something of his misery
or even to share
a rand or two with him.
l’Envoi
There were already clouds
hanging heavy and black
in the sky
and around the corner
where he sleeps at night
there was nowhere
to really find some shelter
against the cold, whether and wind
and for a moment
his pain blinded me
and I asked myself
why life devours some people
without cause
while robbers drive in expensive cars
and sometimes live in palaces
and still he witnessed
that the Lord is great
and still cares
but things were getting dismal.
[Reference: The South African monetary currency is the rand.]

A building has integrity just like a man. And just as seldom.
When I first came out with my fans and the wind hit me, I almost took off.
