Lyrics and translation Steve Hofmeyr feat. Nadine - Kaapse Draai

Kaapse Draai

Daar's geen wyer draai as 'n Kaapse draai
Dis die langpad om en dis swaar gelaai
Dit help 'n hart wat skielik wil vergeet

Daar's geen wyer draai as 'n Kaapse draai
In die stertwind van die witborskraai
Tot Tafelberg my van jou laat vergeet

Aai aai die witborskraai
Hiervandaan na Mosselbaai maar

Maak jy jou oë toe as ons soen
Of loer jy oor my skouer
Na iemand 'n bietjie ouer as wat ek is
Maak jy jou oë toe as ons soen
Of dwaal jy weg oor paaie
Maak jou hart weer draaie in die Kaap

Daar's geen wyer draai as 'n Kaapse draai
Dit's die groot Suid-oos wat jou hart wegwaai
Ons liefde hang aan die kabelkar se spoor

Daar's geen wyer draai as 'n Kaapse draai
Dis die beste plek om jou af te laai
As jy my uit my arms wil verloor

Aai aai die witborskraai
Hiervandaan na Mosselbaai maar

Maak jy jou oë toe as ons soen
Of loer jy oor my skouer
Na iemand 'n bietjie ouer as wat ek is
Maak jy jou oë toe as ons soen
Of Dwaal jy weg oor paaie
Maak jou hart weer draaie in die Kaap

Aai aai die witborskraai
Hiervandaan na Mosselbaai maar

Maak jy jou oë toe as ons soen
Of loer jy oor my skouer
Na iemand 'n bietjie ouer as wat ek is
Maak jy jou oë toe as ons soen
Of dwaal jy weg oor paaie
Maak jou hart weer draaie in die Kaap

Maak jy jou oë toe as ons soen
Of loer jy oor my skouer
Na iemand 'n bietjie ouer as wat ek is
Maak jy jou oë toe as ons soen
Of dwaal jy weg oor paaie
Maak jou hart weer draaie in die Kaap

Cape Spin

There is no wider turn than a Cape turn
It's the long way around and it's heavily loaded
It helps a heart that suddenly wants to forget

There is no wider turn than a Cape turn
In the tailwind of the white-breasted crow
Until Table Mountain makes me forget about you

Oh oh the white-breasted crow
From here to Mossel Bay

Do you close your eyes when we kiss
Or do you look over my shoulder
To someone a little older than I am
Do you close your eyes when we kiss
Or do you wander away across roads
Does your heart turn again in the Cape

There is no wider turn than a Cape turn
It's the big southeast that blows your heart away
Our love hangs on the cable car's track

There is no wider turn than a Cape turn
It's the best place to drop you off
If you want to lose me from my arms

Oh oh the white-breasted crow
From here to Mossel Bay

Do you close your eyes when we kiss
Or do you look over my shoulder
To someone a little older than I am
Do you close your eyes when we kiss
Or do you wander away across roads
Does your heart turn again in the Cape

Oh oh the white-breasted crow
From here to Mossel Bay

Do you close your eyes when we kiss
Or do you look over my shoulder
To someone a little older than I am
Do you close your eyes when we kiss
Or do you wander away across roads
Does your heart turn again in the Cape

Do you close your eyes when we kiss
Or do you look over my shoulder
To someone a little older than I am
Do you close your eyes when we kiss
Or do you wander away across roads
Does your heart turn again in the Cape
