Lyrics and translation Bok van Blerk - Jy Praat Nog Steeds My Taal

Jy Praat Nog Steeds My Taal

Jy praat nog steeds my taal,
Die vlamme brand so kaal,
Want om 'n kampvuur wil ek die ou dinge herhaal.
Se my voel jy nou,
Soos ons taal nou bou,
Dat ek trots kan gaan waar Afrikaners staan.

Want jy praat nogsteeds my taal
Want jy praat nogsteeds my taal
Ja jy praat nogsteeds my taal.
Sonder jou voel ek — verdwaal.

En 'n koue vuur,
Se kole brand nooit uit nie,
In die donker voel ons elkeen raak ons aan,
Want my hart le hier,
Hier waar my mense staan
Saam met elke hart en siel
Sal ek op staan

Want jy praat nogsteeds my taal
Want jy praat nogsteeds my taal
Ja jy praat nogsteeds my taal.
Sonder jou voel ek — verdwaal.

Want jy praat nogsteeds my taal
Want jy praat nogsteeds my taal
Ja jy praat nogsteeds my taal.
Sonder jou voel ek — verdwaal.

Want jy praat nogsteeds my taal
Want jy praat nogsteeds my taal
Ja jy praat nogsteeds my taal.
Sonder jou voel ek — verdwaal.

Want jy praat nogsteeds my taal

You Still Speak My Language

You still speak my language,
The flames burn so bright,
I want to repeat the old things around a campfire.
Tell me, can you feel it now,
As our language is now being built,
That I can proudly stand where Afrikaners stand.

Because you still speak my language
Because you still speak my language
Yes, you still speak my language.
Without you, I feel lost.

And a cold fire,
Its coals never burn out,
In the darkness we all feel each other's touch,
Because my heart lies here,
Here where my people stand
Together with every heart and soul
I will stand up

Because you still speak my language
Because you still speak my language
Yes, you still speak my language.
Without you, I feel lost.

Because you still speak my language
Because you still speak my language
Yes, you still speak my language.
Without you, I feel lost.

Because you still speak my language
Because you still speak my language
Yes, you still speak my language.
Without you, I feel lost.

Because you still speak my language
