Lyrics and translation Arno Carstens - Bottel Sonder Prop

Bottel Sonder Prop

Met jou rug teen die muur
En die kranse van bo
En die toorende reen, wat nat nat woed
Gly ons heen en weer tussen donder en branders
En branders breek teen die hawe muur

Dis n bottel sonder prop
En branders breek teen die hawe muur
'N Bottel sonder prop
Vergeet ons hier, vergeet ons hier

En die vlae van wind
En die vlae van weer
In n vissersdorp, met rooi dak en 4 muur
Platespeler bring nuwe genot uit n ou melodiee
Roman x 9

Dis n bottel sonder prop
En branders breek teen die hawe muur
'N Bottel sonder prop
Vergeet ons hier, teen die hawe muur

Bottel sonder prop
En branders breek teen die hawe muur
'N Bottel sonder prop
Vergeet ons hier, vergeet ons hier

Dit is storms soos die
Wat baie laat bid
En dis 'n aand soos vannaand where living ain't easy
Maar veiligheid bloei uit 'n gloed van n kaggel
En dis 'n aand soos vannaand waar branders breek uit 'n hawe muur

En dis 'n bottel sonder prop, en branders breek teen die hawe muur
Bottel sonder prop, vergeet ons hier, vergeet ons hier
Bottel sonder prop, en branders breek teen die hawe muur
Bottel sonder prop, vergeet ons hier, vergeet ons hier
Vergeet ons hier, vergeet ons hier

Bottel Sonder Prop

With your back against the wall
And the wreaths from above
And the towering rain, raging wet
Let's sway back and forth between the thunder and the breakers
And breakers crashing against the harbor wall

This is a bottle without a cork
And breakers crashing against the harbor wall
A bottle without a cork
Forget us here, forget us here

And the flags of wind
And the flags of weather
In a fishing village, with a red roof and 4 walls
Record player brings new joy from an old melody
Romance x 9

This is a bottle without a cork
And breakers crashing against the harbor wall
A bottle without a cork
Forget us here, against the harbor wall

Bottle without a cork
And breakers crashing against the harbor wall
A bottle without a cork
Forget us here, forget us here

These are storms like those
That make many pray
And it's a night like tonight where living ain't easy
But safety blooms from the glow of a fireplace
And it's a night like tonight where breakers crash from a harbor wall

And it's a bottle without a cork, and breakers crashing against the harbor wall
Bottle without a cork, forget us here, forget us here
Bottle without a cork, and breakers crashing against the harbor wall
Bottle without a cork, forget us here, forget us here
Forget us here, forget us here
