Paroles et traduction Andriëtte - Mag Hy

Mag Hy

As die stiltes in die huis kon praat
Sou ek my hart oopmaak
En vertel hoe baie ek verlang
Om saam met jou te lag
Ons het saam gedroom oor môre
Ons sou ons storie skryf
Ons sou nog

Maar die Here kom
Hy pluk sy mooiste blomme eerste

Mag hy
Kaalvoet op die voorstoep met jou dans
Mag hy
Mag hy
Saam met jou die see in hardloop
Mag hy
Namakwaland se blomme plant in jou tuin
En mag jou naam geïnk wees
Op elke bladsy van sy dagboek
Soos ek wou

Die plan was om van nou af
Die wêreld uit te skuif
Om plek te maak en net jou naam
In my dagboek in te skryf
Ons wou die wêreld gaan verken
Ons sou mekaar weer vind
Ons sou nog

Maar die Here kom
Hy pluk sy mooiste blomme eerste

Mag hy
Kaalvoet op die voorstoep met jou dans
Mag hy
Mag hy
Saam met jou die see in hardloop
Mag hy
Namakwaland se blomme plant in jou tuin
En mag jou naam geïnk wees
Op elke bladsy van sy dagboek
Soos ek wou

If Only He Could

If the silence in the house could speak
I would open my heart
And tell you how much I long
To laugh with you
We dreamt of tomorrow together
We would write our story
We still would

But he came along
He picks his most beautiful flowers first

May he
Dance with you barefoot on the porch
May he
May he
Run with you into the sea
May he
Plant Namaqualand flowers in your garden
And may your name be inked
On every page of his diary
Like I wanted to

The plan was to from now on
Push the world aside
To make space and only write your name
In my diary
We wanted to explore the world
We would find each other again
We still would

But he came along
He picks his most beautiful flowers first

May he
Dance with you barefoot on the porch
May he
May he
Run with you into the sea
May he
Plant Namaqualand flowers in your garden
And may your name be inked
On every page of his diary
Like I wanted to
