Paroles et traduction Dewald Wasserfall - ‘n Jaar Na September

‘n Jaar Na September

Ek onthou
Somer drome tussen my en jou
En ek onthou ons was so jonk en onskuldig
Die wêreld was gemaak vir dromers
Ek onthou
Toe die winter kom
Die koue terg
Ek vries die aande om en alles het
Verander maar nie een van ons het aanbeweeg nie
Maar ek kan nie onthou nie waarom jy weg moes gaan nie
En 'n deel van my hart vat
Na die Kaapse oseaan nie
Want dis al 'n jaar na September en ek en jy is albei nog alleen
Jy't gesê
Jy sou vir altyd wag
Maar elke uur is yskoue somers dag
As dit reen in Pretoria en die jackarandas leeg is sonder jou
Maar ek kan nie onthou nie waarom jy weg wou gaan nie
Van die somer en die onskuld van Pretoria se dae nie
Want dis al 'n jaar na September en ek en jy is albei nog alleen
Ons het mekaar belowe
365 dae as ons albei alleen is kan ek jou daar kom haal
Ek het gebel jy't my vertel
Daardie somer was die laaste bladsy van ons twee se verhaal
Maar ek kan nie vergeet nie dat ek jou nie kan laat gaan nie
Jy's my somer my uitkoms
Na al my donker dae hier
Want dis al 'n jaar na September en ek en jy is albei nog alleen
Tot volgende September
Dalk verander alles dan weer

A Year After September

I remember
Summer dreams between you and me
And I remember we were so young and innocent
The world was made for dreamers
I remember
When winter came
The cold taunted
I shiver in the evenings and everything
Has changed but none of us have moved on
But I can't remember why you had to leave
And a part of my heart takes
To the Cape Ocean
Because it's been a year after September and we're both still alone
You said
You would wait forever
But every hour is an icy summer day
When it rains in Pretoria and the jackarandas are empty without you
But I can't remember why you wanted to leave
From the summer and the innocence of Pretoria's days
Because it's been a year after September and we're both still alone
We promised each other
365 days if we're both alone I can come get you
I called you told me
That summer was the last page of our two stories
But I can't forget that I can't let you go
You're my summer my escape
After all my dark days here
Because it's been a year after September and we're both still alone
Until next September
Maybe everything will change again then
