Pick yourself up my kleintjie Your heart is in your eyes and your tummy is empty There's always home in our arms Always a bed to keep you warm My lover and I will keep you sane The others don't know, they don't understand, they aren't the same They all blame me for your possible demise But all I want is to hold you tight They push you with hard words and take no pity on your gentle soul We want you to be okay We understand We love you whole Chin up my kleintjies You are the two who fill the holes
