Lyrics and translation Laurika Rauch - Kaalvoet Begin Dans

Kaalvoet Begin Dans

Sing saggies vanaand, sing saggies vir my

Sewe dae maak 'n volle week en vier daarvan 'n maand
Ek klou nog so styf vas aan jou woorde van gist'raand
Jou voete op 'n soektog vir jou siel om rus te vind
Jy't die lyf van 'n groot man, maar in jou hart is jy 'n kind

En ek wil kaalvoet begin dans
In die reën van 'n someraand
Terwyl jy saggies vir my sing, saggies vir my sing
Tot 'n nuwe dag begin
Maar ek weet - jou voete sal nooit rus

Sing saggies vanaand, sing saggies vir my

Jy los my met beloftes, in my Novilon-kombuis
Met foto's en gedagtes in my hart se liefdeskluis
En briewe in die posbus wat dae lank vir my wag
En Sondae sal ek hul gaan haal en opbly deur die nag

En ek wil kaalvoet begin dans
In die reën van 'n someraand
Terwyl jy saggies vir my sing, saggies vir my sing
Tot 'n nuwe dag begin
Maar ek weet - jou voete sal nooit rus

Om tot siens te sê is moeilik maar soms maak dit jou vry
En dis nie altyd maklik nie - om met jou hart se weet te bly
Ek hoor nog jou kitaar in die hoek van die Penny Bar
En die cover van 'n Tom Waits tune - One from the heart

... terwyl jy saggies vir my sing, saggies vir my sing
Tot 'n nuwe dag begin
Maar ek weet- jou voete sal nooit rus

Barefoot Start Dancing

Sing softly tonight, sing softly for me

Seven days make a full week and four of them a month
I still cling tightly to your words from yesterday
Your feet on a quest for your soul to find peace
You have the body of a grown man, but in your heart you are a child

And I want to start dancing barefoot
In the rain of a summer evening
While you sing softly for me, softly for me
Until a new day begins
But I know - your feet will never rest

Sing softly tonight, sing softly for me

You leave me with promises, in my Novilon kitchen
With photos and thoughts in my heart's love vault
And letters in the mailbox that wait for me for days
And on Sundays I'll go get them and stay up all night

And I want to start dancing barefoot
In the rain of a summer evening
While you sing softly for me, softly for me
Until a new day begins
But I know - your feet will never rest

To say goodbye is difficult but sometimes it sets you free
And it's not always easy - to stay with what your heart knows
I still hear your guitar in the corner of the Penny Bar
And the cover of a Tom Waits tune - One from the heart

... while you sing softly for me, softly for me
Until a new day begins
But I know- your feet will never rest
