Sleep, my springbok baby, Sleep for me, my springbok child, When morning comes I’ll go out hunting, For you are hungry and thirsty... Small moon, Hai! Young moon, When the sun rises you must speak to the Rain, Charm her with herbs and honeycomb, O speak to her, that I may drink, this little thing. She will come across the dark sky: Mighty Raincow, sing your song for me That I may find you on the far horizon. Sleep, my springbok baby, Sleep for me, my springbok child, When morning comes I’ll go out hunting, For you are hungry and thirsty… O Star, Hai! Hunting Star, When the sun rises you must blind with your light The Eland’s eyes, O blind his eyes, that I may eat, this little thing. He will come across the red sands: Mighty Eland, dance your dance for me, That I may find you on the far horizon. Sleep, my springbok baby, Sleep for me, my springbok child, When morning comes, they’ll come a-hunting, For they are hungry and thirsty… They will come across the waters: Mighty saviours in their sailing ships, And they will show us new and far horizons. And they came, came across the waters: Gods in galleons, bearing bows of steel, Then they killed us on the far horizon.
