Paroles et traduction Jan Blohm - Breyten Se Brief

Breyten Se Brief

As ek vlug in die wind
Word ek die donker se kind
En belydenis die bind my
Met jou tangerine roos tintlint
Word wakker word wakker
Met die newspapergrappe
Vat my ver weg van jou
In Jazz cafe se Omo

So wals my my lief
Laat my in angels believe
Ek het gesê jy is die son
In Breyten se brief
Want hy maak ons huil
Maar jy maak my sien

Sunnyside se poems
Dryf my sweet sherry toe
Het jy 'n clue my baby blue?
My Rosey so true
En daar's dors in die tyd
Sing die Kaap se wind suid
Kom lê in my arms
Ek het als weggesmyt

Maar wals my my lief
Laat my in angels believe
Ek het gesê jy is die son
In Breyten se brief
Want hy maak ons huil
Maar jy maak my sien

En ek skryf jou gedig
Jakaranda in die reën
En die volmaan's eers blind kind
Sy's happy jy's nou clean
Laat my klim om die glimlig
Heel aand wag
Hierdie visions van jou
My Venus se blouvrou

So vlug-vlug my kind
In die blou lug my kind
So vlug-vlug my kind
In die blou lug my kind

Breyten's Letter

When I fly fast in the wind
I become the child of the dark
And the confession that binds me
With your tangerine rose ribbon
Awake awake
With the newspaper jokes
Take me far away from you
In Jazz cafe's Omo

So waltz my love
Let me believe in angels
I said you're the sun
In Breyten's letter
For he makes us cry
But you make me see

Sunnyside's poems
Float my sweet sherry on
Do you have a clue my baby blue?
My Rosey so true
And there's thirst in the time
Sing in the Cape's south wind
Come and lie in my arms
I have thrown everything away

But waltz my love
Let me believe in angels
I said you're the sun
In Breyten's letter
For he makes us cry
But you make me see

And I write you a poem
Jacaranda in the rain
And the full moon's once blind child
She's happy you're clean now
Let me climb for the glimmer
Wait all night
These visions of you
My Venus's blue woman

So fly-fly my child
In the blue sky my child
So fly-fly my child
In the blue sky my child
