Paroles et traduction Ivan Roux - 54 5de Straat

54 5de Straat

54 5de straat
Het ek vir jou gestaar deur die ogiesdraad
Waar jy staan
By 'n ander man

Jy sê jou liefde's nie te koop nie
En jou hart lê steeds by my
Maar ek het nie wat hy het nie
En by hom sal ek jou kry
Ek onthou jou nog soos gister
Maar dis als verbrande as
En ek kyk net hoe jy wegwaai
Soos jy vir hom sê
Kom hou my stywer vas

54 5de straat
Het ek vir jou gestaar deur die ogiesdraad
Waar jy staan
By 'n ander man
54 5de straat
Het ek so gewens om aan jou te raak maar daai draad
Sê dis reeds te laat

Jy't gesê ek is 'n dromer
En ek stap die pad alleen
Maar dit alles sou ek opgee
Vir 'n druppel somer reen
En na 30 jaar van nou af
Lê jy in sy arms koud
Sou jy 5de straat ooit afstap
Aan my deur klop vir my vra
Word saam my oud

54 5de straat
Het ek vir jou gestaar deur die ogiesdraad
Waar jy staan
By 'n ander man
54 5de straat
Het ek so gewens om aan jou te raak maar daai draad
Sê dis reeds te laat

Jy sê jou liefde's nie te koop nie
En jou hart lê steeds by my

54 5de straat
Het ek vir jou gestaar deur die ogiesdraad
Waar jy staan
By n ander man
54 5de straat
Het ek so gewens om aan jou te raak maar daai draad
Sê dis reeds te laat
Maar daai draad
Sê dis reeds te laat

54th 5th Street

54th 5th street
I was staring at you through the chain link fence
Where you were standing
With another man

You say your love isn't for sale
And that your heart still belongs to me
But I don't have what he has
And with him I know that you'll be
I can still remember you like it was yesterday
But now it's all ashes
As I watch you drift away
As you tell him
Hold me closer

54th 5th street
I was staring at you through the chain link fence
Where you were standing
With another man
54th 5th street
I wanted to touch you so badly but that fence
Was saying it was way too late

You said I was a dreamer
And that I traveled my path alone
But I would give it all up
For a drop of summer rain
And 30 years from now
As you lay cold in his arms
Would you ever walk down 5th street again
And knock upon my door and ask me
To grow old with you

54th 5th street
I was staring at you through the chain link fence
Where you were standing
With another man
54th 5th street
I wanted to touch you so badly but that fence
Was saying it was way too late

You say your love isn't for sale
And that your heart still belongs to me

54th 5th street
I was staring at you through the chain link fence
Where you were standing
With another man
54th 5th street
I wanted to touch you so badly but that fence
Was saying it was way too late
But that fence
Was saying it was way too late
