Paroles et traduction Bok van Blerk - Soutwater

Soutwater

Ek is nou net soos 'n man,
Gehawende ruïne waar daar eens lewe was.
Huiden wie se lippe
Op 'n plek op 'n tyd
In joune kon verdwyn en weer bekeering kry,
Die windpomp draai maar daar is niks,
Net stof in die krane
Ek kort jou liefde om my dors te les want hier is net trane.
Ek is dors ek raak verlore in die strate waar ek bly
Ek is dors ek wil dronk raak op jou wyn,
Maar hier waar ek bly is dit net sout water en woestyn
Net sout water en woestyn
Ek is nou nog net soos 'n man
'N verlate huis waar daar eens lewe was
Mure gevul met samesyn op 'n plek op 'n tyd
Jy was my oase in die woestyn
Die windpomp draai ek sukkel om te slaap,
Ek kort jou boesem om my kop te rus hier is net klippe en sand
Ek is dors ek raak verlore in die strate waar ek bly
Ek is dors ek wil dronk raak op jou wyn,
Maar hier waar ek bly is dit net sout water en woestyn
Net sout water en woestyn.
Is dit net sout water en woestyn.
Ek is dors ek word verlore in die strate waar ek bly
Ek is dors ek wil dronk raak op jou wyn .

Salty River

I am but a man,
A dilapidated ruin that once had life.
These lips once
At a place at a time
Could disappear into yours and gain redemption,
The windmill spins but there is nothing,
Only dust in the faucets
I need your love to quench my thirst because there are only tears here.
I am lost in the streets I stay in
I thirst to get drunk on your wine,
But where I stay is nothing but salt water and desert
Only salt water and desert
I am still but a man
A deserted house where there once was life
Walls filled with togetherness at a place at a time
You were my oasis in the desert
The windmill spins and I have trouble sleeping,
I need your heart to rest my head. Here, there are only stones and sand
I am thirsty, I am getting lost in the streets I stay in
I am thirsty, I want to get drunk on your wine,
But where I stay is nothing but salt water and desert
Only salt water and desert.
Is it only salt water and desert.
I am getting lost in the streets I stay in
I am thirsty, I want to get drunk on your wine.
