Paroles et traduction Andries Bezuidenhout - Nie Jou Skuld Nie

Nie Jou Skuld Nie

Dis nie jou skuld dat ek alweer die langpad moes vat nie
In Belfast moes oorslaap in ʼn geensterhotel nie
Al die bourbon in die kroeg opgedrink het nie
My hoofpyn met spek, olie en eiers weg moes sluk nie

Dis nie jou skuld nie
Dis nie jou skuld nie

Dis nie jou skuld dat vanoggend met knapsak en bottel vort is nie
Te voet met ʼn grondpad langs tot oorkant die koppie nie
Skop mols- en miershoop heeltemal moer toe
Slaan ape uit moue, jaag bobbejane bergop

Dis nie jou skuld nie
Dis nie jou skuld nie

Hierdie beenwit kneukels op die stuurwiel is nie jou skuld nie
Hierdie kop wat klop soos ʼn ratkas is nie jou skuld nie
Hierdie harde musiek wat so proseliteer is nie jou skuld nie
Honderd en sestig kilo's per uur is nie jou skuld nie
As ek ry dat ek gly deur die draai is dit nie jou skuld nie
Die duiwel op die sitplek langs my is ook nie jou skuld nie

Dis nie jou skuld nie
Dis nie jou skuld nie

It's Not Your Fault

It's not your fault that I had to hit the road again
Had to sleep in a no-star hotel in Belfast
Drank all the bourbon in the bar
Had to swallow my headache with bacon, oil and eggs

It's not your fault
It's not your fault

It's not your fault that I'm leaving this morning with a backpack and a bottle
Walking along a dirt road to the other side of the hill
Kicking mole and anthills to pieces
Slapping monkeys out of my sleeves, chasing baboons up the mountain

It's not your fault
It's not your fault

These bone-white knuckles on the steering wheel aren't your fault
This head that's pounding like a gearbox isn't your fault
This loud music that's so proselytizing isn't your fault
A hundred and sixty kilometers per hour isn't your fault
If I drive that I slide through the corner it's not your fault
The devil in the seat next to me isn't your fault either

It's not your fault
It's not your fault
