Ridgeback Lyrics – John Edmond

Singer: John Edmond
Title: Ridgeback

His great-grandfather was a missionary man
And his grandpa was an old prospector
His daddy was a farmer and he went bust
At the hands of a debt collector

He was raised on a ranch by a dried-up river
He was wiry as a wag-‘n-bietjie thorn
And they gave him a name and the name just stuck
Right from the day he was born

Ridgeback, Ridgeback
One of those wild kind of men
But if you look him straight in the eye
You’ll see the mark of a friend

His great-grandmother was a Heugenot’s wife
And his granny was a Dutch school teacher
His mother was a daughter in a family of twelve
But his father was a reborn preacher

And mixed in his blood from his predecessors
Was a-many kinds of qualities of man
And the end result was a special breed
Carved in the shape of the land

Ridgeback, Ridgeback
One of those wild kind of men
But if you look him straight in the eye
You’ll see the mark of a friend

Now the missionary in him took him all around the world
But the farmer brought him back to settle
And the prospector took him on down the mine
In the search for the precious metal

And the Heugenot showed him the wine of lovin’
And the school teacher taught him how to drink
And the way that he spoke his words of love
Were not like a poet would think

Ridgeback, Ridgeback
One of those wild kind of men
But if you look him straight in the eye
You’ll see the mark of a friend

You can see him on a Sunday when he goes to church
All dressed in his best and prayin’
You can see him in the bar or in the park
As he watches his children playin’

You can see him in the fields of tall tobacco
You can talk to him man to man
You can see him dressed in jungle green
With a rifle in his hand

Ridgeback, Ridgeback
One of those wild kind of men
But if you look him straight in the eye
You’ll see the mark of a friend

Ridgeback, Ridgeback
One of those wild kind of men
But if you look him straight in the eye
You’ll see the mark of a friend

Ridgeback – Terjemahan / Translation

Kakek buyutnya adalah seorang misionaris
Dan kakeknya adalah seorang prospektur tua
Ayahnya adalah seorang petani dan dia bangkrut
Di tangan seorang kolektor utang

Dia dibesarkan di peternakan dengan sungai kering
Dia Wiry sebagai Thorn Wag-‘n-Bietjie
Dan mereka memberinya nama dan nama itu hanya macet
Sejak hari dia lahir

Ridgeback, Ridgeback.
Salah satu jenis pria liar itu
Tetapi jika Anda menatap lurus ke mata
Anda akan melihat tanda seorang teman

Nenek buyutnya adalah istri Heugenot
Dan neneknya adalah seorang guru sekolah Belanda
Ibunya adalah seorang putri dalam keluarga dua belas
Tetapi ayahnya adalah seorang pengkhotbah yang dilahirkan kembali

Dan dicampur dalam darahnya dari pendahulunya
Adalah-banyak jenis kualitas manusia
Dan hasil akhirnya adalah jenis khusus
Diukir dalam bentuk tanah

Ridgeback, Ridgeback.
Salah satu jenis pria liar itu
Tetapi jika Anda menatap lurus ke mata
Anda akan melihat tanda seorang teman

Sekarang misionaris dalam dirinya membawa dia ke seluruh dunia
Tetapi petani membawanya kembali untuk menyelesaikan
Dan prospektor membawanya turun ke bawah
Dalam mencari logam mulia

Dan Heugenot menunjukkan padanya anggur Lovin ‘
Dan guru sekolah mengajarinya cara minum
Dan cara dia berbicara tentang kata-kata cintanya
Tidak seperti penyair akan berpikir

Ridgeback, Ridgeback.
Salah satu jenis pria liar itu
Tetapi jika Anda menatap lurus ke mata
Anda akan melihat tanda seorang teman

Anda dapat melihatnya pada hari Minggu ketika dia pergi ke gereja
Semua berpakaian terbaik dan berdoa ‘
Anda dapat melihatnya di bar atau di taman
Saat dia menyaksikan anak-anaknya bermain

Anda dapat melihatnya di bidang tembakau tinggi
Anda dapat berbicara dengannya man untuk pria
Anda dapat melihatnya mengenakan hutan hijau
Dengan senapan di tangannya

Ridgeback, Ridgeback.
Salah satu jenis pria liar itu
Tetapi jika Anda menatap lurus ke mata
Anda akan melihat tanda seorang teman

Ridgeback, Ridgeback
Salah satu jenis liar laki-laki
Tetapi jika Anda melihat dia langsung di mata
Anda akan melihat tanda teman
