Daar’s ‘n hoender wat ‘n eier nie kan lê
Weather vane on the VGK Church in Carnarvon This photo made me think of a song we used to sing as kids. It is a traditional Afrikaans song about the rooster on top of the church. The words of the song and its translation: Daar’s ‘n hoender wat ‘n eier nie kan lê There is a chicken that cannot lay an egg Daar’s ‘n hoender wat ‘n eier nie kan lê There is a chicken that cannot lay an egg Daar’s ‘n hoender wat ‘n eier nie kan lê There is a chicken that cannot lay an egg Dis die haan wat op die kerktoring staan It’s the rooster standing on the church tower Dis die haan, Dis die haan It’s the rooster, It’s the rooster Dis die haan wat op die kerktoring staan It’s the rooster standing on the church tower More about all the churches and other buildings we saw in Carnarvon in the next post.
Most enlightening - we live in an interesting country !
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures. Lu-Gerda de Klerk's pictures cover a much vaster field than her hometown of Mossel Bay. She has an outstanding website.
