Paroles et traduction Jack Parow feat. Janie Bay - Veilig

Veilig

Jy's nooit alleen nie
By my kry jy nooit weer seer nie
Jy's veilig
So, baby, bly veraltyd myne
Ek is al vir dae lank verlore in 'n wilde wildernis
Ek is by 'n landsdienskamp vasgevang in die hindernis
Die voete van die verlede hardloop kort op my haksene
En die boelies van my skooldae lag vir my bakbene
Dink oor my dade onder die arms van 'n marloelaboom
Sit en skrop-skrop verniet en maak my skoene skoon
Hoekom wil jy wegstap van die bakleiery teen angs
As die see nog propvol is en jy visse steeds kan vang?
Kos loop my bord oor en lê op die tafeldoek en vrot
En die liggies van die stede trek my soos kerse vir 'n mot
Die taalkundiges bespreek, bespiegel steeds my woord
Maar ek sal baklei, tong en vuiste vir dit waarin ek glo
Ek sal antwoord op jou roepstem ek sal offer wat jy vra
Ek sal oorkom na jou voorstoep en jou groceries indra
In jou wil en werk en wandel van jou wieg tot in jou graf
As jy bibber in jou bed wanneer die honde buite blaf
In die songloed van hou somer, in jou winternag se kou
Sal ek kom lê onder jou kombersie, en jou styf vas kom hou
By die klink van huw'liksklokkies, by die kluit-klap op die kis
Streel my stem jou nooit verniet nie, by my sal jy kan rus
Jy's nooit alleen nie
By my kry jy nooit weer seer nie
Jy's veilig
So, baby, bly veraltyd myne
By my kry jy nooit weer seer nie
Jy's veilig
So, baby, bly veraltyd myne
Ek's klaar gevlug van my probleme in die glas se rand
Ek het klaar al my slange in die gras verbrand
Ek's klaar gesoek na wat geld blykbaar sal bring
Ek is klaar aan die einde van 'n nuwe begin
Mis meer mense as wat ek al ooit kon geken het
Al baie meer verloor as wat ek al ooit gewen het
Die trane van die verlede het in 'n dam verdwyn
Daar het te veel duiwels onder in my glas verskyn
Op soek na die roet het ek myself verloor
Op soek na lig het ek myself versmoor
Afgelok van die pad deur 'n heks se kind
Gewys na my graf deur 'n Lexington
Die swart van die nag in my hart gebring
Die vers vir die dood in my hart gesing
Gestaan in die lig en die donker gemis
Klaar al my spoke in die stad laat rus
Stof op my skoene van te veel verdwaal
Klaar al my dues aan die duiwel betaal
Maar jy't gekom en my gelei en my weg gevat
So nou's ek terug in die lig en op die regte pad
Jy's nooit alleen nie
By my kry jy nooit weer seer nie
Jy's veilig
So, baby, bly veraltyd myne
By my kry jy nooit weer seer nie
Jy's veilig
So, baby, bly veraltyd myne
Jy's nooit alleen nie, daar's niks wat ek jou nie sal gee nie
By my kry jy nooit, ooit weer seer nie
Jy's veilig
By my het jy 'n skuiling, so, baby, asseblief bly veraltyd myne
Jy's nooit alleen nie, daar's niks wat ek jou nie sal gee nie
By my kry jy nooit, ooit weer seer nie
Jy's veilig
By my het jy 'n skuiling, so, baby, asseblief bly veraltyd myne

Safe

You're never alone
With me, you'll never hurt again
You're safe
So, baby, stay mine forever
I've been lost for days in a wild wilderness
I'm trapped in the obstacle course of a national service camp
The feet of the past are running close on my heels
And the bullies from my school days laugh at my skinny legs
I contemplate my actions under the arms of a marula tree
I sit and scrub in vain, cleaning my shoes
Why do you want to walk away from the fight against anxiety
When the sea is still full and you can still catch fish?
Food spills over my plate and rots on the tablecloth
And the city lights draw me like candles to a moth
Linguists still discuss and speculate on my words
But I will fight, tongue and fists, for what I believe in
I will answer your call, I will offer what you ask
I will overcome to your doorstep and carry your groceries in
In your will and work and walk from your cradle to your grave
When you shiver in your bed as the dogs bark outside
In the summer's heat, in your winter night's cold
I will come lie under your blanket and hold you tight
At the sound of wedding bells, at the thud of the coffin
My voice will never soothe you in vain, with me you can rest
You're never alone
With me, you'll never hurt again
You're safe
So, baby, stay mine forever
With me, you'll never hurt again
You're safe
So, baby, stay mine forever
I'm done running from my problems in the rim of the glass
I've already burned all my snakes in the grass
I'm done searching for what money supposedly brings
I am already at the end of a new beginning
I miss more people than I could ever have known
Lost much more than I ever won
The tears of the past have disappeared into a dam
Too many devils have appeared at the bottom of my glass
Searching for the soot, I lost myself
Searching for light, I suffocated myself
Lured off the path by a witch's child
Shown to my grave by a Lexington
Brought the black of night into my heart
Sang the verse for death in my heart
Stood in the light and missed the darkness
Already let all my ghosts rest in the city
Dust on my shoes from too much wandering
Already paid all my dues to the devil
But you came and guided me and took me away
So now I'm back in the light and on the right path
You're never alone
With me, you'll never hurt again
You're safe
So, baby, stay mine forever
With me, you'll never hurt again
You're safe
So, baby, stay mine forever
You're never alone, there's nothing I won't give you
With me, you'll never, ever hurt again
You're safe
With me you have a shelter, so, baby, please stay mine forever
You're never alone, there's nothing I won't give you
With me, you'll never, ever hurt again
You're safe
With me you have a shelter, so, baby, please stay mine forever
