Andre Manuel - "Kraaien"

Such a cool song...The lyrics translated...CrowsThe crows on the fieldsblack as ravenswill roar with laughter on the dayThis boy goes to his gravethe procession from the churchagainst all my wishesa last evening in the cafebut the family didn't feel like itthey're such good citizen peoplegrey sparrows cowardlyI can protest all I wantThey carry me to my gravewhere the righteous crowd mournslisten to the pastorin its heart a good ladand the crowd nods obedientwhile I'd rather have seen my coffinon the bar, the lid offA joint going aroundAll of you drunk as helland you talk bullshit and then the last booze orderedon which a clear fellow -- thinkerCalls for a taximove these boy at the windowBring bread and coffeeand drive in the hollow of nightall together to the seaput me straight-up in sandwipe the dirt of my facesing to the moon once moreuntil the first light of dawnwalk in the dunesLay some shells in my lapCollect wood that washed ashore build a small boatand when at night that barge of waterwill put out the sunPush me in the seaLike I've been promisedThen make all a torchPut the small boat on fireI will sing my song once moreWhile you're dancing on the beachLike Indians
