Lyrics and translation Bok van Blerk - Land Van Melk En Heuning




Land Van Melk En Heuning
Land Of Milk And Honey
Elke keer as die wolke dreun, val die reën op die grond net vir ons geleen
Every time the clouds roar, the rain falls upon the ground that has been lent to us
Voel jy weer soos 'n spook want jy staan alleen
You feel like a ghost again, because you stand alone
In die land van melk en heuning
In the land of milk and honey
Jy weet ek sal vir jou
You know I will build you
'N spoorweg lyn wil bou
A railway line
Wat strek van ver uit die noorde sande
That stretches from the far north sands
Tot in die ou karoo
To the old Karoo
Ek sal jou veilig hou
I will keep you safe
Maar wie kan ek vertrou
But who can I trust
Jy weet ons kan nie so verloor nie
You know we can't lose like this
Dit is nie wat ek wil hoor nie
This is not what I want to hear
Elke keer as die wolke dreun, val die reën op die grond net vir ons geleen
Every time the clouds roar, the rain falls upon the ground that has been lent to us
Voel jy weer soos 'n spook want jy staan alleen
You feel like a ghost again, because you stand alone
In die land van melk en heuning
In the land of milk and honey
Jy kyk vir my maar jou is leeg
You look at me but your eyes are empty
En jou voete staan stil
And your feet stand still
Jy moet aan beweeg
You have to move on
Jy is afgebreek, en nou my waar's
You are broken down, and now tell me where is
Die land van melk en heuning
The land of milk and honey
Daar word van ons gevat
There is taken from us
En ons regte word geskend
And our rights are violated
Daar word gedink dat wat ons oor het
It is thought that what we have left
Het ons gekry maar net
We got it, but
En daar was bloed voor gesweet
And there was blood in it
Gaan nou lewens opmeet
Measure life now
Moet ons nou stry vir ons eie mensereg
Must we now fight for our own human rights
Dit word so gou vergeet
It is so easily forgotten
Elke keer as die wolke dreun, val die reën op die grond net vir ons geleen
Every time the clouds roar, the rain falls upon the ground that has been lent to us
Voel jy weer soos 'n spook want jy staan alleen
You feel like a ghost again, because you stand alone
In die land van melk en heuning
In the land of milk and honey
Jy kyk vir my maar jou is leeg
You look at me but your eyes are empty
En jou voete staan stil
And your feet stand still
Jy moet aan beweeg
You have to move on
Jy is afgebreek, en nou my waar's
You are broken down, and now tell me where is
Die land van melk en heuning
The land of milk and honey
In die land van melk en heuning
In the land of milk and honey
Die land van melk en heuning
The land of milk and honey
Elke keer as die wolke dreun, val die reën op die grond net vir ons geleen
Every time the clouds roar, the rain falls upon the ground that has been lent to us
Voel jy weer soos 'n spook want jy staan alleen
You feel like a ghost again, because you stand alone
In die land van melk en heuning
In the land of milk and honey
Jy kyk vir my maar jou is leeg
You look at me but your eyes are empty
En jou voete staan stil
And your feet stand still
Jy moet aan beweeg
You have to move on
Jy is afgebreek, en nou my waar's
You are broken down, and now tell me where is
Die land van melk en heuning
The land of milk and honey
