Paroles et traduction Adam Tas - 'N Man Soos My Pa

'N Man Soos My Pa

Gee my 'n knipmes vir my gatsak
Geloof as storms toesak
Gee my 'n hart wat hou van waarheid
Wat huil vir die wat swaarkry
Twee hande wat help as jy vra
Here maak vir my 'n man soos my pa

'N Man soos my pa
'N Man soos my pa
'N Man soos my pa
Here maak vir my 'n man soos my pa

Ek soek 'n glimlag vol van stoutgeit
En twee blou oë wat saam kyk
Die lewe is te kort om te kla
En leer vir my gebede
Wat vra vir hoop en vrede
'N Land wat ek in my hart kan dra
Here maak vir my 'n man soos my pa

'N Man soos my pa
'N Man soos my pa
'N Man soos my pa
Here maak vir my 'n man soos my pa

Gee my 'n knipmes vir my gatsak
Geloof as storms toesak
Twee skouers wat 'n swaar vrag kan dra
So as my bene eendag kromtrek
En die skemer op die werf lê
En ek soek iemand om vir my te kom haal
Here stuur vir my 'n man soos my pa

'N Man soos my pa
'N Man soos my pa
'N Man soos my pa
Here maak vir my 'n man soos my pa

'N Man soos my pa
'N Man soos my pa
'N Man soos my pa
Here maak vir my 'n man soos my pa

'My Man Like My Father'

Give me a pocket knife for my trousers pocket
Faith if storms approach
Give me a heart that loves truth
Which cries for those who are suffering
Two hands that help when you ask
Lord, make me a man like my father

A man like my father
A man like my father
A man like my father
Lord, make me a man like my father

I'm looking for a smile full of mischief
And two blue eyes that look out together
Life is too short to complain
And teach me prayers
Which ask for hope and peace
A country that I can carry in my heart
Lord, make me a man like my father

A man like my father
A man like my father
A man like my father
Lord, make me a man like my father

Give me a pocket knife for my trousers pocket
Faith if storms approach
Two shoulders that can bear a heavy burden
So that if my legs give way one day
And dusk falls on the farm
And I'm looking for someone to come and get me
Lord, send me a man like my father

A man like my father
A man like my father
A man like my father
Lord, make me a man like my father

A man like my father
A man like my father
A man like my father
Lord, make me a man like my father
