Lyrics and translation Riaan Benade - Spontaan

Spontaan

Vanaand kan ek nie slaap nie
Want daar's te veel wat my wakker hou
Nie gedink ek's alleen nie
Gedink ons sou 'n toekoms bou en

Ek weet nie of jy probeer nie
Maar alles brand om my en jou
En jou laaie onder ons waaier
Bly leeg

En ek wou jou hou jou hou
Maar ek kan verstaan
Hoekom alles spontaan aan die brand slaan
Om ons te hou
Maar niks staan 'n kans
In die vuur tussen my en jou

Ons wil nie weer hierdeur nie
Want daar's te veel
Ja te veel wat ons wakker hou
Want alles was nie as nie
So hoe's ons hier waar ons niks vashou

En ek weet nie of jy probeer nie
Maar alles brand om my en jou
En jou laaie onder ons waaier
Bly leeg

En ek wou jou hou jou hou
Maar ek kan verstaan
Hoekom alles spontaan aan die brand slaan
Om ons te hou
Maar niks staan 'n kans
In die vuur tussen my en jou

Jou hou
Ja ek kan verstaan
Hoekom alles spontaan aan die brand slaan
Om ons te hou
Maar niks staan 'n kans
In die vuur tussen my en jou

Ek weet nie of jy probeer nie
Maar alles brand om my en jou
En jou laaie onder ons waaier
Bly leeg

En ek wou jou hou jou hou
En ek kan verstaan
Hoekom alles spontaan aan die brand slaan
Om ons te hou
Maar niks staan 'n kans
In die vuur tussen my en jou

Jou hou
Ja ek kan verstaan
Hoekom alles spontaan aan die brand slaan
Om ons te hou
Want niks staan 'n kans
In die vuur tussen my en jou

Spontaneous

Tonight I can't sleep
Because there's too much that keeps me awake
Didn't think I was alone
Thought we'd build a future together and

I don't know if you're trying or not
But everything's burning around me and you
And the fires you fan between us
Remain cold

And I wanted to keep you my darling
But I can understand
Why everything spontaneously bursts into flames
To keep us apart
But nothing stands a chance
In this fire between me and you

We don't want to go through this again
Because there's too much
Yes too much that keeps us awake
Because everything was not as it seemed
So how did we end up here where we hold nothing

And I don't know if you're trying or not
But everything's burning around me and you
And the fires you fan between us
Remain cold

And I wanted to keep you my darling
But I can understand
Why everything spontaneously bursts into flames
To keep us apart
But nothing stands a chance
In this fire between me and you

My darling
Yes I can understand
Why everything spontaneously bursts into flames
To keep us apart
But nothing stands a chance
In this fire between me and you

I don't know if you're trying or not
But everything's burning around me and you
And the fires you fan between us
Remain cold

And I wanted to keep you my darling
And I can understand
Why everything spontaneously bursts into flames
To keep us apart
But nothing stands a chance
In this fire between me and you

My darling
Yes I can understand
Why everything spontaneously bursts into flames
To keep us apart
Because nothing stands a chance
In this fire between me and you
