Lyrics and translation Steve Hofmeyr - Ek ken Jou Soms

Ek ken Jou Soms

Ek ken jou soms, in die nag
As ek bang vir more wag
Ek ken jou soms, as ek huil
Want jou weg is soms so steil,
Jy ken my (Jy ken my), As ek vir jou wag

Ek ken jou soms, in die nag,
Ek erken dit soms te sag,
Ek ken jou soms, as ek vlug
En ek vra jou neem my terug
Jy ken my (Jy ken my), As ek vir jou wag

(Ek ken jou soms, in die nag, Jy ken my)

Ek ken jou soms, in die nag
As ek bang vir more wag
Ek ken jou soms, as ek huil
Want jou weg is soms so steil,
Jy ken my, As ek vir jou wag

Ek ken jou soms, soos 'n kind,
Op my knieë koud en blind
Tel my op, laat my sing,
Jy ken my en ek's jou vriend
Jy ken my, As ek vir jou wag

I Know You Sometimes

Sometimes, in the night, I know you,
When I'm afraid of what tomorrow holds,
I know you sometimes, when I cry,
For your path can be so steep,
You know me (You know me), When I wait for you.

Sometimes, in the night, I know you,
Sometimes, I admit it too gently,
I know you sometimes, when I run away and
Ask you to take me back,
You know me (You know me), When I wait for you.

(Sometimes, in the night, I know you, You know me)

Sometimes, in the night, I know you,
When I'm afraid of what tomorrow holds,
I know you sometimes, when I cry,
For your path can be so steep,
You know me, When I wait for you.

Sometimes, I know you, like a child,
On my knees, cold and blind,
Pick me up, let me sing,
You know me, and I'm your friend,
You know me, When I wait for you.
