Paroles et traduction Jan Blohm - Opgedra Aan Dinsdag

Opgedra Aan Dinsdag

En ek voel hierdie swart koffie
Kom krap aan my dop
Butterflies en vulkane
Wat jy in my pyp in stop

Maar roep my in gister
Want ek sweer ek was oraait
Daars 'n song van Valiant Swart
Opgerol in my jeans se gatsak

En die robots bly change
Soos die kind in my
Soos die vrou in jou
Wat jy so styf aan vas hou

Maar eks heel oraait my dear
Tragedie is tralies
En erens in Sidewalk Cafe
Val ek weer vir jou

Oor my whiskey glas
En oor my emosies
Se hier kan ek jou nie los nie
Jy hoort in 'n bookshop by die see my dear

So oor en oor dreun dit
Dat all together
Ek sweer ek bly forever
Jou closet poet

Shhh

Die nag ontwaak
Soos 'n kind so naak
Tel jy die wolke
Diep binne my?

En ek hoop jy is oraait my dear
In al hierdie koue
Het my so onbetrokke
By jou heilige ontwaak
Slaap wel slaap nou
Slaap wel slaap nou
Slaap wel slaap nou
Slaap wel slaap nou
Slaap wel slaap nou

Tuesday Wake Up

And I can feel this black coffee
Pricking out my shell
Butterflies and vulcanoes
What you put into my pipe in hell

But call me yesterday
Cause I swear I was alright
There's a song from Black Rebel
Rolled up in my pocket

And the robots keep changing
Like the child in me
Like the woman in you
You hold in so tight

But I'm all right my dear
Sadness is rebars
And somewhere in Sidewalk Café
I fall for you again

Over my whiskey glass
And over my emotions
To say here I can't let you go
You belong in a bookshop by the sea my dear

So over and over it hums
That all together
I swear I stay forever
Your closet poet

Shhh

The night awakes
Like a child so naked
Do you count the clouds
Deep inside of me?

And I hope you're all right my dear
In all of this coldness
Has made me so neglectful
In your holy awaken
Sleep well sleep now
Sleep well sleep now
Sleep well sleep now
Sleep well sleep now
Sleep well sleep now
