Lyrics and translation Jan Blohm - Groentrui

Groentrui

"Die son brand purpur in my gedagtes
As die son of die reen vir my kom haal
Jy sê iewers is daar liefde
Iewers waar tyd vir jou kom haal.
Bly vanaand by my.
Ek weet jy het seer gekry.
Sit jou lyfie in my groen trui.
Bly vanaand by my.
Wie's die girl daar onder jou oë
Wat in Krismis kon glo
Happy hours by die kroeë
Vra: "my laaitjie het jy 'n light?"
Jy vou 'n droom soos 'n kite
En ek scheme tonight, tonight!"

Green Sweater

"The sun burns crimson in my thoughts
As the sun or the green comes to take me
You say somewhere love exists
Somewhere where time comes to take you.
Stay with me tonight.
I know that you're hurting.
Put your body in my green sweater.
Stay with me tonight.
Who's the girl under your eyes
Who believed in Christmas
Happy hours by the bars
Asking: "my darling, do you have a light?"
You fold a dream like a kite
And I'm dreaming tonight, tonight!"
