Ja but now we goes back to the doedelsak brigade , years ago when I was at skool at Rust der Winter we use to wear long short Kahaki broeks on Wednesday for Kadette . ja dat is where we was taught disiplinne like in the army . I was part of the grapgatte and was made to play the doedelsak in the orchestra (band) .
When I get bigger , not like some ous who wear long belts like Boet van Loeriesfontein I go to Settlers Landbou skool asn I am the Sersantmajoor in the orchestra , Ja we is the grap gatte alweer and we gets even shorter landkhakie broeks with khaki shirts and funny meide kepse . So I learn to play the doedels ask , When I get home I takes my mas vaal kat , puts it under my arm and gryps hom mettie een hand innie knaters and when he skrees I pump hom innie ribbes , like the teacheer say we must make him huil .
J a so life goes on and last week I get ask to play the doedelsak at some huislose kleurlings berafnis at Potgietersrus or some onbekende naam town .
The funeral director ask if I kan play by the grafeside for the service for this homelessman , He has no familie or friend so I must come to the minsipaal begrafplaas at Mokopong .
I stay on the plaas and I dress in my kadet koulors and get in the Cortina bakkie and of I go ., Jis I sukkel to find this Mokgopong place and eventually I get to bthe begrafplaas about 1 hour late and no one is in site , nie die ondernemer of the lykswagon nie , just some gat grawers who was busy eating their lunch (skaftin) . I feels vreeslik sleg so I go to the gradf and I start play from the bottom of my hart , as I look down I see the ous start filling the grave up so I carry on playin and givet it allk I got ,
The gat grawers puts don their skaftiens and agther round and now it really take it out , I play for this lonely man , his lost familei and friends and we all start to weep , ja die gatgrawers ween en ekke ween ok . I plays Amazing Grace and we all ween together again .
When I finish and pack my kits in the Cortina and start the engine I hear one of the gatrawers say , In the twenty yeers I put in septic tenks if nevers see anfings likes this ,
Apaarentlies I is still lost wif all this strange names ,
Julle moet lekker wees wit willempie
, of soos die engelse sal se no fool like an old fool
