Rough translation: Old Afrikaans (South African Dutch descendants) tradition, when a guy dated a girl, her old man would allow visiting rights only if the couple had a candle burning throughout the visit. Usually this took place on a veranda (stoep). The length of the candle, supplied by the girl's dad, depended on how much he approved of the girls date. song is about a frog who needs candle for his date so asks a firefly - but fly's fire is tied 2 its tail, so no date is off!
Te pragtig! Dankie!

This is truely the best of what the Afrikaans language could offer. Groete van 'n Southappie wat tans in die VSA woon.

Ek soek ordentelike bladmusiek vir hierdie liedjie! Is daar dalk iemand wat my in die regte rigting kan wys?
