Lyrics and translation Jim Reeves - Jy Is My Liefling

Jy Is My Liefling

Jy is my liefling en ek is so bly
Hier die tyd is verby en jy wag nou vir my
Daar by jou woning sien ek weer die lug
En ek weet jy, my liefling, is terug
As die maan opkom oor die velde
En die sterretjies skyn in die lug
Dan voel ek so lief vir die wêreld
O ek weet my liefling is nou terug
Jy is my liefling en ek kom vanaand
Met die pad deur die land, deur die hek by die rant
Hier by Oom Willem hoor jy die geblaf
En jy hoor nou die draf van my perd

My Darling

You are my darling and I am so glad
The time is over and you are waiting for me
There at your home I see the sky again
And I know you, my darling, are back
As the moon rises over the fields
And the stars shine in the sky
Then I feel so much love for the world
Oh I know my darling is back
You are my darling and I'm coming tonight
With the road through the country, through the gate at the edge
Here at Uncle Willem's you hear the barking
And you now hear the trot of my horse
