Lyrics and translation Steve Hofmeyr - Tjoklitbeksoentjies




Tjoklitbeksoentjies
Chocolate Kisses
Ek is ek en ek's jou gek
I am me and I'm crazy about you
Jy is jy want jy is vry
You are you because you are free
Agter jou aan daar kom ek aan
I'm following right behind you
Ek is hier te kort en daar te lank
I'm here too short and there too long
Vir jou is alles net vir nou
For you everything is just for now
Jy weet vir my is dit lewenslank
You know for me it's for life
Sonder jou tjoklitbeksoentjies
Without your chocolate kisses
So sag soos katoentjies
As soft as cotton balls
Is my hart weer in stukke gekneus
My heart is broken into pieces again
Jou tjoklitbeksoentjies
Your chocolate kisses
So rond soos pampoentjies
As round as pumpkins
So nat soos 'n worshond se neus
As wet as a dachshund's nose
Ek is ek en dies my plek
I am me and this is my place
My tafel is vir twee gedek
My table is set for two
Met tjoklits vir my as ek ophou huil
With chocolates for me when I stop crying
Ek's hier gekwes en daar gewond
I'm hurt here and wounded there
Ek gee bes, soos tjoklits lê,
I give up, like chocolate
Stukkies van jou in my lewe rond
Pieces of you scattered around my life
Sonder jou tjoklitbeksoentjies
Without your chocolate kisses
Is ek onvoldoentjies
I'm inadequate
'N halwe boks tjoklits is leeg
Half a box of chocolates is empty
Jou tjoklitbeksoentjies
Your chocolate kisses
Gereeld soos seisoentjies
As regular as seasons
Is my lewe bittersuurdeeg
Make my life bitter
Ek's jou held maar ek sal smelt
I'm your hero but I'll melt
Sonder jou, om my gevou,
Without you, around me
Soos liefde gesink in papiertjies wat blink
Like love wrapped in shiny paper
