Bantam them and fling the strings

I am in love with the child

The sunsets sparkle from the flaming hair

I am in love with the child

Do you listen to the girl with the fox-flaming hair

do you follow the talk of the bowstrings

I am in love with your daughter

Lappa leads Bella cold, in Waboomskloof’s yellow tickles

Lappa makes Bella naughty,

With Hanepoot’s gingerbread

Dark red the vine and warm red lips of her

My heart blooms white for the flaming hair

Select heather from the reddest red

For this very fox-flaming head

Bellabint my girl child, it’s heart flower white, it’s heather red

Bellabint my girl child, it’s heart flower white, it’s heather red

For you, my fox-flaming girl.
