Lyrics and translation Karlien Van Jaarsveld - Van Jaarsveld Hartedief

Van Jaarsveld Hartedief

Ek wonder soms of jy ook als onthou,
Van hoërskool jare af tot hier en nou,
Ek wens ek kon die tyd net stil laat staan,
Voor ons te groot word en te veel verstaan.

Ek wonder soms hoe lank ons jonk sal bly,
Want jare kom en gaan, maar ons twee sal vir altyd vriende,

Bly net by my, ek sal jou daar kry
En as jy huil sal ek daar wees, vir jou het ek lief
Van-Jaarsveld-hartedief,
Wat my laat lag as ek wil huil,
My Annatjie wat ek vir niks verruil!

Sal ons nog jare lag oor dit wat was,
Studente kuiers verby middernag,
Ons het al soveel goed saam deurgemaak,
Anna, onthou jy, al ons lag en seerkry?

Ek wonder soms hoe lank ons jonk sal bly,
Want jare kom en gaan maar ons twee sal vir altyd vriende,

Bly net by my, ek sal jou daar kry,
En as jy huil sal ek daar wees, vir jou het ek lief
Van-Jaarsveld-hartedief,
Wat my laat lag as ek wil huil
My Annatjie wat ek vir niks verruil!

Met net een kyk sal ek verstaan,
Wat alles in jou hart aangaan,
Sal ek en jy ooit als kan oor vertel?

Bly net by my, ek sal jou daar kry
En as jy huil sal ek daar wees vir

Bly net by my, ek sal jou daar kry,
En as jy huil sal ek daar wees, vir jou het ek lief
Van-Jaarsveld-hartedief,
Wat my laat lag as ek wil huil!
My Annatjie wat ek vir niks, my Annatjie wat ek vir niks verruil!

Van Jaarsveld Thief

I wonder sometimes if you also remember,
From high school years to here and now,
I wish I could just stop time,
Before we grow too big and understand too much.

I wonder sometimes how long we will stay young,
Because years come and go, but we two will always be friends,

Just stay with me, I'll find you there
And if you cry I'll be there, for you I love
Van-Jaarsveld-heart thief,
What makes me laugh when I want to cry,
My Annatjie who I would not exchange for anything!

Will we still laugh for years about what was,
Student visits past midnight,
We have been through so much together,
Anna, do you remember, all our laughter and hurt?

I wonder sometimes how long we will stay young,
Because years come and go but we two will always be friends,

Just stay with me, I'll find you there,
And if you cry I'll be there, for you I love
Van-Jaarsveld-heart thief,
What makes me laugh when I want to cry,
My Annatjie who I would not exchange for anything!

With just one look I will understand,
What everything goes on in your heart,
Will you and I ever be able to tell everything?

Just stay with me, I'll find you there
And if you cry I'll be there for

Just stay with me, I'll find you there,
And if you cry I'll be there, for you I love
Van-Jaarsveld-heart thief,
What makes me laugh when I want to cry!
My Annatjie who I would not, my Annatjie who I would not exchange for anything!
