Lyrics and translation Jan Blohm - In Wens

In Wens

Kon ek opdrag gee,
Laat die rose bloei,
Trane in 'n glas,
Sou ek jou voete was,
Kon ek met jou dans,
Soos blare in die wind,
Sou ek tyd vasbind,
Heilig in 'n mens,
En al werk ek die nag trein,
Kan ek in drome glo,
As jy wag vir my,
Sal ek jou kom kry,
Kan ek jou donker skeur,
Laat dit lig op jou reen,
Jy hopeloos besef,
Jy sien jou in my,
Het ek dit reg gekry,
Om die man te vermy,
Om diep in jou lag,
Vlenters waansin aan,
En al werk ek die nag trein,
Kan ek in drome glo,
As jy wag vir my,
Sal ek jou kom kry,
Vir jou my mou rond dra,
As die ster in Betlehem,
Nog eenkeer vir my,
Na grond paaie ly,
Wil jou geheime hoor,
En in 'n boksie weg toor,
En 'n vuur vir jou maak,
Ek sweer sterre het vlerke,
En al werk ek die nag trein,
Kan ek in drome glo,
As jy wag vir my,
Sal ek jou kom kry,
En al werk ek die nag trein,
Kan ek drome glo,
As jy wag vir my,
Sal ek jou kom kry,

In Wens

If I could command,
Let the roses bloom,
Tears in a glass,
I would wash your feet,
If I could dance with you,
Like leaves in the wind,
I would bind time,
Sacred in a person,
And even though I work the night train,
I can believe in dreams,
If you wait for me,
I will come for you,
Can I tear your darkness,
Let it shine on your rain,
You hopelessly realize,
You see yourself in me,
Did I get it right,
To avoid the man,
To laugh deeply in you,
Willingly insane,
And even though I work the night train,
I can believe in dreams,
If you wait for me,
I will come for you,
To carry my sleeve around for you,
As the star in Bethlehem,
Once more for me,
To ground roads want,
Want to hear your secrets,
And conjure them away in a box,
And make a fire for you,
I swear stars have wings,
And even though I work the night train,
I can believe in dreams,
If you wait for me,
I will come for you,
And even though I work the night train,
I can believe in dreams,
If you wait for me,
I will come for you,
