Lyrics and translation Steve Hofmeyr - My Diefie My Dufie

My Diefie My Dufie

Al sê jy my songs maak jou blou.
Al lag jy vir in jou mou.
Al sê jy ek word jou heel grootste las.
Jy laat my onthou hoe dit was.

Al skoffel jy voor my verbei.
Op liedjies van Elvis en Gé.

Ek hier staan ons alleen.
Hier staan ons alleen.
Is ek vir jou vreemd.
Is ek vir jou vreemd.
My liefie, my lyfie.
My liefie, my lyfie.
My diefie, my duifie ek bly.

Al plaas jy 'n wag voor my mond.
Al vryf jy nog sout in die wond.
Al soen jy vir die Springbok span.
Al doen jy dit als, want jy kan.

Al skoffel jy voor my verbei.
Met Stoffel en Elvis en Gé.

Ek hier staan ons alleen.
Hier staan ons alleen.
Is ek vir jou vreemd.
Is ek vir jou vreemd.
My liefie, my lyfie.
My liefie, my lyfie.
My diefie, my duifie ek bly.

Instrumenteel

My liefie, my lyfie.
My diefie, my duifie ek bly.

Ek hier staan ons alleen.
Hier staan ons alleen.
Is ek vir jou vreemd.
Is ek vir jou vreemd.
My liefie my lyfie.
My liefie, my lyfie.
My diefie, my duifie ek bly.

Elvis

My liefie, my lyfie.
My diefie, my duifie ek bly.

My liefie, my lyfie.
My diefie, my duifie ek bly.

My Thieving, My Dove

Even if my songs make you blue,
Even if you laugh at me behind my back,
Even if you tell me I'm your biggest burden,
You make me remember how it used to be.

Though you ridicule me in front of my eyes,
To the songs of Elvis and Gé.

I'm here, we're alone here.
We're alone here.
Am I a stranger to you?
Am I a stranger to you?
My darling, my body,
My darling, my body,
My thief, my dove, I stay.

Even if you place a guard in front of my mouth,
Even if you rub salt in the wound,
Even if you kiss the Springbok team,
Even if you do all this, because you can.

Though you ridicule me in front of my eyes,
With Stoffel, Elvis and Gé.

I'm here, we're alone here.
We're alone here.
Am I a stranger to you?
Am I a stranger to you?
My darling, my body,
My darling, my body,
My thief, my dove, I stay.

Instrumental

My darling, my body,
My thief, my dove, I stay.

I'm here, we're alone here.
We're alone here.
Am I a stranger to you?
Am I a stranger to you?
My darling, my body,
My darling, my body,
My thief, my dove, I stay.

Elvis

My darling, my body,
My thief, my dove, I stay.

My darling, my body,
My thief, my dove, I stay.
