Paroles et traduction Elvis Blue - Toe Ons Jonk Was

Toe Ons Jonk Was

Toe ons jonk was kon ons eet net wat ons wou
Ons kon speel en ons kon 'n lang pouse hou
Ons was fine daarmee om net hande vas te hou
En ons ouers was die mooiste man en vrou
Toe ons jonk was

Toe ons jonk was het ons nie geweet van hart breek nie
Ons drome was groot en ons was nie bang nie
Toe ons jonk was was ons ouers nog bymekaar
Oupas, oumas het geleef en niks was te swaar
Toe ons jonk was

Oh en ons tyd hier is al te min
Ons is almal nou groot maar ons het klein begin

Al gaan die jare verby
Kom wees weer jonk saam met my
Al gaan die jare verby
Kom wees weer jonk saam met my

Toe ons jonk was het ons nog met ons bure gepraat
Daar was nie so ding soos kleur en ons het niemand gehaat
Toe ons jonk was het ons nog genoeg geld gehad
Ons harte was vol, ons was vir niemand kwaad
Toe ons jonk was, oh, toe ons jonk was

Al gaan die jare verby
Kom wees weer jonk saam met my
Al gaan die jare verby
Kom wees weer jonk saam met my

Toe ons jonk was kon ons glo dat God na ons kyk
Ons kon sien hoe Hy Sy arms na ons toe uitreik
Ons kon altyd met Hom praat, want Hy was naby
Ons het geweet dat Hy altyd by ons sal bly
Toe ons jonk was, toe ons jonk was, oh, toe ons jonk was

Ooooh kom wees weer jonk saam met my
Ooooh kom wees weer jonk saam met my

Al gaan die jare verby
Kom wees weer jonk saam met my
Al gaan die jare verby
Kom wees weer jonk saam met my
Hey
Al gaan die jare verby
Kom wees weer jonk saam met my
Al gaan die jare verby
Kom wees weer jonk saam met my

When We Were Young

When we were young, we could eat whatever we wanted
We could play and we could have a long break
We were fine with just holding hands
And our parents were the most beautiful man and woman
When we were young

When we were young, we didn't know about heartbreak
Our dreams were big and we were fearless
When we were young our parents were still together
Grandfathers, grandmothers were alive and nothing was too heavy
When we were young

Oh and our time here is too short
We are all grown up now, but we started small

Even though the years go by
Come be young with me again
Even though the years go by
Come be young with me again

When we were young, we still talked to our neighbors
There was no such thing as color, and we hated no one
When we were young, we still had enough money
Our hearts were full, we were angry with no one
When we were young, oh, when we were young

Even though the years go by
Come be young with me again
Even though the years go by
Come be young with me again

When we were young, we could believe that God was watching us
We could see Him reach out His arms to us
We could always talk to Him, because He was near
We knew that He would always be with us
When we were young, when we were young, oh, when we were young

Ooooh come be young with me again
Ooooh come be young with me again

Even though the years go by
Come be young with me again
Even though the years go by
Come be young with me again
Hey
Even though the years go by
Come be young with me again
Even though the years go by
Come be young with me again
