Respek en Eiers
Respect and eggs (in Afrikaans, "spek" means bacon and "respek" means respect
The title of the song is a wordplay, where instead of asking for bacon and eggs (spek amd Eiers), I am asking for respect and eiers (respect and eggs)
All that I want is respect and eggs
But all I get is dirty looks and no seasoning,
Keep moderation before pleasure and focus on your duties (not very poetic in English and doesn't capture the meaning properly)
There's nothing left here to be lost
But the day is long
And I'm tired of complaining
The day is long
and I'm tired of asking
Sometimes it's difficult
and sometimes the coffee's weak
Sometimes I calm down and just think about you
Sometimes I stop trying
I'm tired of fighting
All that I want is what you don't have
Is that too much to ask?
All that I want is just respect and eggs
Is that too much to ask?
