DESCRIPTION:
SKOLLIE (Lyrics)

In the staffroom
All the teachers
They gather round
And talk about him

Come the evening
All the fingers
Will be pointing
And calling his name

Ek gaan sê vir jou ma Skollie
Ek gaan sê vir jou pa vanaand
Ek gaan sê vir jou ma Skollie
Ek sien die vuur in jou hart verbrand

Ek gaan sê vir jou ma Skollie
Skollie, Skollie, Skollie

All the feelings
All the darkness
In silence
He lets them all go

Well the year ends
When the bell rings
All the kids sing
He knows what he knows

Ek gaan sê vir jou ma Skollie
Ek gaan sê vir jou pa vanaand
Ek gaan sê vir jou ma Skollie
Ek sien die vuur in jou hart verbrand

Ek gaan sê vir jou ma Skollie
Skollie, Skollie, Skollie

I’m an old man
I’m a wanderer
But I see you
And I know what you are

When the night comes
In the dark times
They’ll see too
You’re a bright morning star

All these questions
All these answers
They crowd me
I don’t care what they say

When the time comes
And the lights dim
One more time
They will call out your name

Ek gaan sê vir jou ma Skollie
Ek gaan sê vir jou pa vanaand
Ek gaan sê vir jou ma Skollie
Ek sien die vuur in jou hart verbrand

Ek gaan sê vir jou ma Skollie
Skollie, Skollie, Skollie

Ek sê
Ek gaan sê vir jou ma Skollie
Ek gaan sê vir jou pa vanaand
Ek gaan sê vir jou ma Skollie
Ek sien die vuur in jou hart verbrand

Ek gaan sê vir jou ma Skollie
Skollie, Skollie, Skollie
