Paroles et traduction Elvis Blue - Ek Mis Jou

Ek Mis Jou

Boeke is vol stories lief
En tydskrifte ook
Jy koop 'n glimlag, vir 'n oomblik
Totdat als verdwyn in rook
Die lewe is 'n raaisel
'N netjiese gemors
Ek wil net vir jou sê
Ek mis jou en dit brand my net soos vuur

Nog 'n hotel, nog 'n stop
Nog 'n reis in my kop
Dan hou ek jou weer teen my
En ek wil jou nooit los
Drome word soms waar
Maar vanaand is myne op
Ek wil net vir jou sê
Ek mis jou en dit brand my net soos vuur

Die koudste koud is sonder jou
Die verste ver is ver van jou
Oe oe oe, ek mis jou
Ek wens jy was nou hier
Ek mis jou en dit brand my net soos vuur

Laat aande leë strate
My woorde val so deur die krake
Al praat ons op die telefoon
Voel alles hier verlate
Als was so vanselfsprekend
Totdat ek alleen moes staan
Nou's jy al wat ek wil hê
En ek mis jou en dit brand my net soos vuur

Die koudste koud is sonder jou
Die verste ver is ver van jou
Oe oe oe, ek mis jou
En ek wens jy was nou hier
Ek mis jou en dit brand my net soos vuur

Ons praat maar op die telefoon
Badtyd is klaar, die kinders skoon
Dis hemel daar by jou
Maar jy dink dis net gewoon
Ek was nooit gemaak om op 'n enkelbed te slaap
Jou wegwees los my leeg
En ek mis jou en dit brand my net soos vuur

I Miss You

Books are full of love stories,
As are the magazines,
But you buy a smile for a while
Until it fades into smoke.
Life's a puzzle
A beautiful mess,
I just need to tell you
I miss you and it burns like fire.

Another hotel, another stop,
Another trip inside my head,
Then I hold you in my arms again,
And I never want to let you go.
Dreams do come true sometimes
But tonight mine are not,
I just need to tell you
I miss you and it burns like fire.

The coldest of the cold is without you
The furthest of the far is away from you
Oh oh oh, I miss you
Oh how I wish you were here now
I miss you and it burns like fire.

Late nights, empty streets
My words fall through the cracks
Even though we talk on the phone,
It all feels so deserted here
Everything was so easy
Until I had to stand alone
Now you're all I want,
And I miss you and it burns like fire.

The coldest of the cold is without you
The furthest of the far is away from you
Oh oh oh, I miss you
And oh how I wish you were here now
I miss you and it burns like fire.

We speak only on the phone,
The children are clean and done with their bath
It's heaven there with you,
But all you see is the norm.
I was never meant to sleep in a single bed
Your absence leaves me empty
And I miss you and it burns like fire.
