Lyrics and translation Laurika Rauch - Sonvanger

Sonvanger

Kyk of jy vir my die son kan vang
Daar′s 'n kamer in die huis waar ons die son kan hang
Dis donker by die venster in die middel van die dag
Onthou jy hoe helder die kamer kon lag

Kyk of jy vir my die son kan bring
Daar′s 'n liedjie in die gange wat die son kan sing
Want dis stil in die hoeke, hierdie koue seisoen
Kan jy sien wat die wind en die reën aan my doen

S-o-nvanger
Ek vra jou mooi, laat hom weer vir my kom skyn
S-o-nvanger
Laat my verstaan
Hoe 'n somer sommerso in die niet kan verdwyn
En laat hom skyn

Kyk of jy vir my die son kan kry
Daar′s ′n huisie in my hart waar die son kan bly
Kyk of jy vir my die son kan steel
Daar's ′n plekkie in die tuin waar die son kan speel

Mmmmm

S-o-nvanger
Ek vra jou mooi, laat hom weer vir my kom skyn
S-o-nvanger
Laat my verstaan
Hoe 'n somer sommerso in die niet kan verdwyn
En laat hom skyn

Bring ′n bietjie lig vir die draaie op my pad
En 'n handjievol strale vir die donker in my hart

Catcher of the Sun

See if you can catch the sun for me
There's a room in the house where we can hang the sun
It's dark by the window in the middle of the day
Remember how bright the room could laugh

See if you can bring the sun to me
There's a song in the hallways that the sun can sing
For it's quiet in the corners, this cold season
Can you see what the wind and the rain are doing to me

C-a-tcher of the sun
I ask you nicely, let him shine for me again
C-a-tcher of the sun
Let me understand
How a summer can disappear into nothing
And let it shine

See if you can find the sun for me
There's a cottage in my heart where the sun can stay
See if you can steal the sun for me
There's a spot in the garden where the sun can play

Mmmmm

C-a-tcher of the sun
I ask you nicely, let him shine for me again
C-a-tcher of the sun
Let me understand
How a summer can disappear into nothing
And let it shine

Bring a little bit of light to the bends in my road
And a handful of rays for the darkness in my heart
