Stuur Groete aan Mannetjies Roux Guitar Chords and Lyrics Laurika Rauch

D                 G      D
My oom se motor is n ou masjien
A               D      A
Hy maak dit vol met dieselien
D                        G
En hy sing in die strate as hy ons kom sien
D      A              D
My oom is oud en ek is skaars dertien

G      D
My oom drink koffie en my tannie tee
A                      D     A
Ek vra oor die reen en hy se ja nee
D                       G
En hy drink soet koffie met sy een oog toe
D                  A       D
En hy praat weer oor die drie van Mannetjies Roux

G      D
O stuur ons net so bietjie reen
A                  D
My oom het n tenkvol dieselien
G
En seen my pa en seen my ma
D          A       D
En my oom op sy plaas in Afrika

G               D
Maar my oom het gesukkel op die plaas
A                      D        A
Want die son was te warm en die reen te skaars
D                           G
En die man van die bank het net sy kop geskud
D         A           D
Want my oom ja my oom wat te diep in die skuld

G      D
En as jy in die oggend in die lande stap
A                            D           A
Hoor jy nog die motor met sy klak klak klak
D                          G
Maar my oom ja my oom se oe is nou albei toe
D             A           D
In sy brief stuur hy groete aan Mannetjies Roux

G      D
O stuur ons net so bietjie reen
A                  D
My oom het n tenkvol dieselien
G
En seen my pa en seen my ma
D          A       D
En my oom op sy plaas in Afrika

Meaning:

My uncle’s motor is an old machine He fills it up with diesel And it sings in the streets when it comes to see us My uncle is old, and I’m barely thirteen

My uncle drinks coffee, and my aunt drinks tea I ask about the rain, and he says yes or no He drinks sweet coffee with one eye closed And he talks again about the three of Mannetjies Roux

Oh, send us a little rain My uncle has a tank full of diesel Bless my dad and bless my mom And bless my uncle on his farm in Africa

But my uncle struggled on the farm Because the sun was too hot, and the rain too scarce And the man from the bank just shook his head Because my uncle, yes, my uncle, was too deep in debt

And if you walk in the fields in the morning You can still hear the motor with its clack clack clack But my uncle, yes, my uncle’s eyes are now both closed In his letter, he sends greetings to Mannetjies Roux

Oh, send us a little rain My uncle has a tank full of diesel Bless my dad and bless my mom And bless my uncle on his farm in Africa
