Lyrics and translation Laurika Rauch - Stille Waters

Stille Waters

Jy′t gesê ons liefde sal bly staan
Al tuimel al die berge in die oseaan
Doen vir my 'n gunsie voor jy gaan
Gooi vir my ′n klippie
'N Klippie in die oseaan

Wie sal ooit die liefde kan verstaan?
Nader as 'n hartklop, verder as die maan
Daar is ′n tyd van kom, en ′n tyd van gaan
Dit het ek gelees maar
Hoe sal ek dit ooit verstaan?

En kyk hoe sak die sekelmaan
In die stille oseaan
Stille waters diepe grond
Onder draai die duiwel
Onder draai die duiwel rond

Miskien is liefde net 'n fantasie
Dis nie alles maanskyn en rose nie
Jy was vir ′n rukkie aan my sy
Was jy net 'n bietjie
Net ′n bietjie lief vir my?

Miskien is daar 'n plek vir ons twee saam
Anderkant die berge van die maan
En as die maan weer opkom sal ek onthou
Ek was vir ′n rukkie
Ook 'n bietjie lief vir jou

Ek was vir 'n rukkie
Ook ′n bietjie lief vir jou

Still Waters

You said our love would remain
Even if all the mountains tumbled into the ocean
Do me a favor before you go
Throw me a pebble
A pebble in the ocean

Who can ever understand love?
Closer than a heartbeat, further than the moon
There is a time to come, and a time to go
I have read this but
How will I ever understand it?

And look how the crescent moon sinks
Into the still ocean
Calm waters, deep ground
Underneath the devil turns
Underneath the devil turns around

Maybe love is just a fantasy
It is not all moonshine and roses
You were by my side for a while
Were you even a little bit
Only a little bit in love with me?

Maybe there is a place for us two together
Beyond the mountains of the moon
And when the moon rises again, I will remember
I was for a while
Also a little bit in love with you

I was for a while
Even a little bit in love with you
