Paroles et traduction Elvis Blue - Beloofde Land

Beloofde Land

Jy't al oor jou gesny
Dwars oor jou gery
Jou riviere en sand
Die rooi grond en die see
O ek wil bly in my land
Het myself al hier verloor en weer gevind

Ek wonder wat is voor
Ek dan nou moet val
En hoe die pad sal lyk as more kom

Ek glo steeds in die beloofde land
Ek bly staan in jou Afrika sand
Maar die wind wat eers in die bome was
Waai deesdae net deur gebrande gras
Waai deesdae net deur gebrande gras

O ek bly steeds 'n dromer
'N positiewe mens
Maar als wat hier gebeur
Vat my na 'n donker grens
En ek verloor myself daar
Sal die Here my kom kry ek glo so

Ek bly steeds 'n swerwer
Opsoek na ware Noord
Is daar plek vir my hier langs jou in die son?

Ek glo steeds in die beloofde land
Ek bly staan in jou Afrika sand
Maar die wind wat eers in die bome was
Waai deesdae net deur gebrande gras
Waai deesdae net deur gebrande gras

O kom ons gaan stap hier in die son
Kom staan hier langs my
O kom ons gaan stap hier in die son
Kom staan hier langs my
O kom ons gaan stap hier in die son
Kom staan hier langs my
O kom ons gaan stap hier in die son
Kom staan hier langs my

Ek glo steeds in die beloofde land
Ek bly staan in jou Afrika sand
Ek glo steeds in die beloofde land

Promised Land

I've been cut all over you
Driven right through you
Your rivers and sand
The red soil and the sea
Oh I want to stay in my land
Have lost and found myself here before

I wonder what lies ahead
That I must now fall
And what the path will look like when tomorrow comes

I still believe in the promised land
I stand still in your African sand
But the wind that was once in the trees
Now only blows through burned grass
Now only blows through burned grass

Oh I'm still a dreamer
A positive being
But all that happens here
Takes me to a dark border
And I lose myself there
The Lord will find me I believe so

I'm still a wanderer
Looking for true north
Is there a place for me here beside you in the sun?

I still believe in the promised land
I stand still in your African sand
But the wind that was once in the trees
Now only blows through burned grass
Now only blows through burned grass

Oh let's go for a walk here in the sun
Come stand next to me
Oh let's go for a walk here in the sun
Come stand next to me
Oh let's go for a walk here in the sun
Come stand next to me
Oh let's go for a walk here in the sun
Come stand next to me

I still believe in the promised land
I stand still in your African sand
I still believe in the promised land
