Paroles et traduction Andries Bezuidenhout - Net Nog 'n Liefdeslied

Net Nog 'n Liefdeslied

Elke tweede lied handel oor die liefde
Liefde gewen of liefde verloor
Oor afstand of nabyheid, wolke en reënboë
Die klank van 'n stem, die kleur van oë

Maar vir jou het ek net hierdie enigste lied
Dis net vir jou, dis spesifiek
Laat geen ander dit sing nie
Vir iemand anders bring nie
Dis al wat ek het om aan te bied

Ek hoor die liefde is universeel
Dis 'n album vol foto's en soms 'n spieël
Soms kan ek my verbeel dis deel en dalk uitdeel
Soms is dit diefstal en soms sommer speel

Maar vir jou het ek net hierdie enigste lied
Dis net vir jou, dis spesifiek
Laat geen ander dit sing nie
Vir iemand anders bring nie
Dis al wat ek het om aan te bied

Soetsappig miskien, of dalk selfs geyk, 'n
Liefdeslied gee ek jou gelyk
Is meestal te rou te hart op die mou
Maar die een is nietemin net vir jou

So vir jou het ek net hierdie enigste lied
Ek bring dit vir jou, dis spesifiek
Laat geen ander dit dan sing nie
Vir iemand anders bring nie
Dis al wat ek het om aan te bied

Just Another Love Song

Every second song is about love
Love won or love lost
About distance or closeness, clouds and rainbows
The sound of a voice, the color of eyes

But for you I only have this one song
It's just for you, it's specific to you
Don't let anyone else sing it
Don't take it to someone else
It's all I have to offer

I hear that love is universal
It's an album full of pictures and sometimes a mirror
Sometimes I imagine I can share it and maybe give it away
Sometimes it's theft and sometimes just play

But for you I only have this one song
It's just for you, it's specific to you
Don't let anyone else sing it
Don't take it to someone else
It's all I have to offer

A bit too sweet, or maybe even clichéd, a
Love song I admit
Is usually too raw, too open-hearted
But this one is nevertheless only for you

So for you I only have this one song
I bring it to you, it's specific to you
Don't let anyone else sing it
Don't take it to someone else
It's all I have to offer
