Sarina, Het Kind Uit De Dessa

Sarina the child from the Dessa
Who pounded her rice to bits
She sang very nice tunes
And Cronjo lay in the grass
And Cronjo loved Sarina
And therefore crept closer
Sarina said with a smile
Say Cronjo, I quite like you

refr.:
Sarina, Sarina, beware of love
Take good care of your heart
Sarina, Sarina, love only brings pain

Then they went to Alang Alang
And sat on the sladang
They loved each other so much
And were not afraid of tigers
Then a tiger came creeping
And had them for dinner
He left the bones behind
And quietly took the rest

refr.

The sun rose in the Dessa
The trees stood in mourning
For beneath them lay the bones
Of a man and a woman
They had found each other
Unfortunately in such a sad way
And died forever connected
The wind whispers: They are no longer here

refr.
