Heiden Heiland - Fokofpolisiekar Übersetzung ins Englische

Heiden Heiland

Heiden Heiland
Heiden Heiland
′N klapsoen het my onkant gevang
My lewer mis ons tye saam
'N neofiet van neongeaard
Verdierlik losbandig
Nadoodse ondersoek
Sou bepaal
Vals hoop
Vals tande
Vals hart
Vermy vir my
Vermy vir my
In ′n monochroom diskoteek
Het ek my een voet in die graf gesteek
Die troukoors is so dik dis tasbaar
Dit laat my nekhare rys
Jy wil nie
Nie nou nie
Ek wil jou ys breek
Maar jou water wil nie stol nie
"Jy was 'n kind
En al die helder wete
Van bloed en maagdelikheid
Was eenmaal in jou oe"
Onbevlek en half bewusteloos
Vergewe my
My doodgeid
Maar al die ouens lyk half skeef hier
Ek wil nie op die dansbaan broeknaai nie
My lotus my roos
My vingers sny
Deur jou dorings
Ek wil jou seermaak
En ek wil seerkry
Vermy vir my
Vermy vir my
'N meteoriese reis
Na die noorderlig
′N valskerm vir ingeval ons spring
Dis ver en ons tuig is aanmekaar geslaan
Lukraak
Aanmekaar geslaan
Ek wil nie
Uitbrand nie
Jy′t op my gemors
En nie jammer gese nie
En ek was 'n kind
En al die helder wete
Van bloed en maagdelikheid
Bly eenmaal in my oe
Ek soek myself
Het jy hom dalk gesien?
Hy′s 'n paar jaar jonger
En sy hare is korter
Hy dink nie dat daar iemand is
Wat hom agtervolg nie
Jy ken my nie vir lank nie
Daar is nog niks
Wat jy verkeerd kon doen nie
En jy was ′n kind en al die helder wete
Van bloed en maagdelikheid bly
Altyd in jou oe

Heathen Savior

Heathen Savior
Heathen Savior
A slap caught me off guard
My liver misses our time together
A neon-clad neophyte
Animalistically debauched
Postmortem examination
Would determine
False hope
False teeth
False heart
Avoid me
Avoid me
In a monochrome disco
I put one foot in the grave
The wedding fever is so thick it's palpable
It makes the hair on my neck stand up
You don't want
Not now
I want to break your ice
But your water won't freeze
"You were a child
And all the bright knowledge
Of blood and virginity
Was once in your eyes"
Immaculate and half unconscious
Forgive me
My deathly pallor
But all the guys look half-crooked here
I don't want to dance pants off on the dance floor
My lotus my rose
My fingers cut
Through your thorns
I want to hurt you
And I want to be hurt
Avoid me
Avoid me
A meteoric journey
To the northern lights
A parachute in case we jump
It's far and our gear is patched together
Randomly
Patched together
I don't want
To burn out
You spilled on me
And didn't say sorry
And I was a child
And all the bright knowledge
Of blood and virginity
Remains once in my eyes
I'm looking for myself
Have you perhaps seen him?
He's a few years younger
And his hair is shorter
He doesn't think there's anyone
Who's following him
You don't know me for long
There's nothing yet
That you could have done wrong
And you were a child and all the bright knowledge
Of blood and virginity remains
Always in your eyes
NP van Wyk Louw
