by Christian Frederik Louis Leipoldt, Dr. (1880 - 1947)

Op my ou ramkiekie
Language: Afrikaans 
Our translations:  ENG
Op my ou ramkiekie met nog net een snaar
speel ek in die maanskyn deurmekaar

As die maan my aanhoor en die sterre knik
dan speel ek kordaat voort in my skik

Wat gee ek om mense wat sê ek's mal
as die varings my aanhoor by die wal?

Wat om my vrinde wat nooit nie verstaan
as die sterre my toeknik en die maan?

Op my ou ramkiekie met nog net een snaar
speel ek in die maanskyn deurmekaar
