Lyrics and translation Lianie May - Noodlanding

Noodlanding

Soos ons hande kleef teen die ruite
En ons vergeet van almal wat kyk van buite
Ons beweeg teen die spoed van witlig
Hou my vas, want hier kom 'n deurnag vlug

Ek's verdoof vasgevang in die oomblik
Ek is stom want jy steel my woorde en
Die lug is dun leen jou lippe vir my
Jy asem in, ek asem uit

Dis tyd vir n noodlanding
Te hoog gevlieg te vinnig, te veel vir nou
Dis tyd vir n noodlanding
Die swaartekrag trek my af na jou
Maar ons sal veilig land, ek belowe jou
Dis tyd vir n noodlanding

En jy fluister vir my n liedjie
Ek sê moenie ophou net nog n bietjie
Want jy maak my mal en jy weet ek sal
Uit hierdie vliegtuig vir jou val

Dit is 'n noodlanding
Te hoog gevlieg te vinnig, te veel vir nou
Dis tyd vir n noodlanding
Die swaartekrag trek my af na jou
Maar ons sal veilig land, ek belowe jou (Dis n noodlanding)

Ek sal nie, ek kan nie, nie vir jou nee sê nie
Ek kan nie, ek sal nie, nie vir jou lief wees nie

Dis tyd vir n noodlanding
Te hoog gevlieg te vinnig, te veel vir nou
Dis tyd vir n noodlanding
Die swaartekrag trek my af na jou
Maar ons sal veilig land, ek belowe jou
Dis tyd vir n noodlanding

Emergency Landing

As my hands stick to the windowpane
And we forget about all those who are looking in from outside
We move at the speed of light
Hold me tight, because here comes an overnight flight

I'm numb, trapped in the moment
I'm speechless because you steal my words and
The air is thin, lend your lips to me
You inhale, I exhale

It's time for an emergency landing
Flying too high, too fast, too much for now
It's time for an emergency landing
Gravity pulls me down to you
But we'll land safely, I promise you
It's time for an emergency landing

And you whisper a song to me
I say don't stop, just a little longer
Because you drive me crazy and you know I will
Fall out of this plane for you

This is an emergency landing
Flying too high, too fast, too much for now
It's time for an emergency landing
Gravity pulls me down to you
But we'll land safely, I promise you (It's an emergency landing)

I won't, I can't, not say no to you
I can't, I won't, not love you

It's time for an emergency landing
Flying too high, too fast, too much for now
It's time for an emergency landing
Gravity pulls me down to you
But we'll land safely, I promise you
It's time for an emergency landing
