Another one of them oldies in Afrikaans.  Unfortunately the album is somewhere in storage and I can't find any information on the web about "Die Vier Ou Toppies" (The four old guys), but I do remember that Al Debbo was one of them.  

The song itself is quite old - I remember from childhood days long before this recording was made:

English translation:
=============

If you ever want to snare a lion
In the day or in the night
Pour salt on its tail and wait

If you ever want to shoot a lion
To its lover's grief
You merely have to sing a love song

Bravery is not needed
Because a lion is scared
Though it might make your pants shake
It is easy to seize.
