Lyrics and translation Steve Hofmeyr - Tjoklitbeksoentjies

Tjoklitbeksoentjies

Ek is ek en ek's jou gek
Jy is jy want jy is vry
Agter jou aan daar kom ek aan

Ek is hier te kort en daar te lank
Vir jou is alles net vir nou
Jy weet vir my is dit lewenslank

Sonder jou tjoklitbeksoentjies
So sag soos katoentjies
Is my hart weer in stukke gekneus
Jou tjoklitbeksoentjies
So rond soos pampoentjies
So nat soos 'n worshond se neus

Ek is ek en dies my plek
My tafel is vir twee gedek
Met tjoklits vir my as ek ophou huil

Ek's hier gekwes en daar gewond
Ek gee bes, soos tjoklits lê,
Stukkies van jou in my lewe rond

Sonder jou tjoklitbeksoentjies
Is ek onvoldoentjies
'N halwe boks tjoklits is leeg
Jou tjoklitbeksoentjies
Gereeld soos seisoentjies
Is my lewe bittersuurdeeg

Ek's jou held maar ek sal smelt
Sonder jou, om my gevou,
Soos liefde gesink in papiertjies wat blink

Chocolate Kisses

I am me and I'm crazy about you
You are you because you are free
I'm following right behind you

I'm here too short and there too long
For you everything is just for now
You know for me it's for life

Without your chocolate kisses
As soft as cotton balls
My heart is broken into pieces again
Your chocolate kisses
As round as pumpkins
As wet as a dachshund's nose

I am me and this is my place
My table is set for two
With chocolates for me when I stop crying

I'm hurt here and wounded there
I give up, like chocolate
Pieces of you scattered around my life

Without your chocolate kisses
I'm inadequate
Half a box of chocolates is empty
Your chocolate kisses
As regular as seasons
Make my life bitter

I'm your hero but I'll melt
Without you, around me
Like love wrapped in shiny paper
