Lyrics (Sranan Tongo)
Bigi kaiman, kaiman, kaiman,
Bigi kaiman djomp’a liba bari tjoewe-tjoewe. (repeat)
A bari tjoewe-tjoewe. A bari tjoewe-tjoewe.
Bigi kaiman djomp’a liba bari tjoewe-tjoewe. (repeat)
Translation – Big Caiman*
Big caiman, caiman, caiman,
Big caiman jumped into the river shouting, “Beware, beware!” (repeat)
He shouted “Beware, beware!” He shouted “Beware, beware!”
Big caiman jumped into the river shouting, “Beware, beware!” (repeat)
