Paroles et traduction Elvis Blue - Mooi

Mooi

Hoe raak jy aan die slaap?
Hoe begin jou dag?
Open jy jou oë met 'n traan
Of met 'n lag?
Kyk jy om jou rond
Sien jy dan die son?
Of soek jy agter alles
Na die skadu op die grond?

Leef jy vir geluk
Of sterf jy van verdriet?
Is daar vir jou 'n keuse
Of het jy geen keuse nie?
Dit maak nie regtig saak
Of dit waarheid is of nie
Dis hoe jy dit sien.

Hoe mooi kan jou lewe lyk
Dis maar hoe jy kyk
Dis maar wat jy droom
Hoe mooi is jou werklikheid
Jy is net so ryk
So ryk as wat jy voel.

Weet jy wat jy het?
Is die sirkel rond?
Sien jy wat daar staan
Of bly jou oë op die grond?
Kry jy wat jy wil
Of meer as wat jy vra
Is jy tevrede met die minste
Of is die meeste nie genoeg?

Raak jy verwondered deur sneeu,
Deur die druis van die wind?
Geniet jy nog die voëls
En die glimlag van 'n kind?
Bewerk jy jou geluk
Want binne in jouself
Is die eindig en begin.

Hoe mooi kan jou lewe lyk
Dis maar hoe jy kyk
Dis maar wat jy droom
Hoe mooi is jou werklikheid
Jy is net so ryk
So ryk as wat jy voel.
So ryk as wat jy voel.

Hoe mooi kan die lewe wees
Dit is maar hoe jy daarna kyk
Dit is maar wat jy droom
Hoe mooi is jou werklikheid
Jy is net so ryk
So ryk soos jy voel.
So ryk soos jy voel. x 2

Beautiful

How do you fall asleep?
How do you start your day?
Do you open your eyes with a tear
Or with a laugh?
Do you look around you
Do you see the sun then?
Or do you search behind everything
For the shadow on the ground?

Do you live for happiness
Or are you dying of sadness?
Is there a choice for you
Or do you have no choice?
It doesn't really matter
Whether it's true or not
It's how you see it.

How beautiful can your life appear
It's just how you look at it
It's just what you dream
How beautiful is your reality
You are just as wealthy
As rich as you feel.

Do you know what you have?
Is the circle round?
Do you see what it says
Or do your eyes remain on the ground?
Do you get what you want
Or more than you ask for
Are you satisfied with the least
Or is the most not enough?

Are you amazed by snow,
By the roar of the wind?
Do you still enjoy the birds
And the smile of a child?
Do you cultivate your happiness
For within yourself
Is the end and beginning.

How beautiful can your life appear
It's just how you look at it
It's just what you dream
How beautiful is your reality
You are just as wealthy
As rich as you feel.
As rich as you feel.

How beautiful can life be
It's just how you look at it
It's just what you dream
How beautiful is your reality
You are just as wealthy
As rich as you feel.
As rich as you feel. x 2
