CAMDEBOO - Aberdeen

A summer love song for a little town in The Karoo with a big heart.

Lyrics [with translation]:

ABERDEEN


Doorootdoorootdoo a-doowah!
Doorootdoorootdoo a-doowah!

I wasn't born here
But this is where I'll die
Living is so pleasing
Beneath a - a big blue sky

Aberdeen

Aberdeen

Camdeboo
Cacadu
Door in die ou Karoo/Very far in the old Karoo
Aberdeen

The sun blows in your face
Can make a person frown
But it also brings the rain
To wet this whole place down

Aberdeen
Doorootdoorootdoo a-doowah!

Aberdeen

Camdeboo
Cacadu
Door in die ou Karoo/Very far in the old Karoo
Aberdeen

A-doowah!

So sing ons/ We sing like this
Doorootdoorootdoo a-doowah!

Kinders in die straat/Children in the street
Speel sonder gevar/Play without danger
Ou mense wat stadig loop/Old people that walk slowly
Groet glimlag mekaar/Greet each other smiling

Aberdeen
Doorootdoorootdoo a-doowah!

Aberdeen

Camdeboo
Cacadu
Door in die ou Karoo/Very far in the old Karoo
Aberdeen

Aberdeen
Doorootdoorootdoo a-doowah!

So sing ons/ We sing like this
Doorootdoorootdoo a-doowah!

Stilte in die nag/ Stillness in the night
Die oggend die voels vluit / Birdsong in the morning
Hulle se vir my 'Meneer jy weet /They say to me "Mister you know
Daar's nie a pad hier uit./ There's no road out of here

Aberdeen
Doorootdoorootdoo a-doowah!

Aberdeen
Doorootdoorootdoo a-doowah

Camdeboo
Cacadu
Door in die ou Karoo/Very far in the old Karoo
Aberdeen
Doorootdoorootdoo a-doowah!

So sing ons/ We sing like this
Doorootdoorootdoo a-doowah!

So sing ons/ We sing like this
Doorootdoorootdoo a-doowah!

So sing ons/ We sing like this
Doorootdoorootdoo a-doowah!

So sing ons/ We sing like this
Doorootdoorootdoo a-doowah!

'Daar's hy meneer!' / 'There's it mister!'

Hey Michael, I finally watched and listened. Too fun that it's got some 'Dutch'. My folks came over on the boat - so I grew up speaking both Dutch and English......this sounds a little different but fun to hear! I do love the shifting colors in the sky and those cloudssss - it does feel familiar and you can sense the desert's heart. AND.......the music is delightful and playful. Keep enjoying........

Thanks so much Michael for making this lovely little clip. I've wondered for years what this so-far-away place looks like and now I have a little glimpse. I'm totally thrilled for you that you are following your path. I love your music, photography, lyrics and am looking forward to the arrival of your new CD. All of this makes me very very happy!

What a beautiful place especially being able to see the sky and natural clouds above - it seems like a paradise of how the planet should be - with the sweet lyrics and matching sounds - thank you for bringing this ease ...
