Paroles et traduction Jim Reeves - Die Blonde Matroos

Die Blonde Matroos

Sy staan op die hawe van Tafelbaai strand,
Haar seemans-geliefde hou sy by die hand
Sy kla oor haar noodlot, haar hartjie is te seer
Sy het glad geen tuiste en Moederlief meer...
Neem my, O matroos, neem my saam as jy swerwe
By jou wil ek ween, wil ek lag, wil ek sterwe.
Ons hoort mos tesame soos die wind en die see
Ek gee jou my liefde, ag, wat meer kan ek gee?
Ons hoort mos tesame soos die wind en die see
Ek gee jou my liefde, ag, wat meer kan ek gee?
Neem my, O matroos, neem my saam as jy swerwe;
Y jou wil ek ween, wil ek lag, wil ek sterwe.
Ons hoort mos tesame soos die wind en die see
Ek gee jou my liefde, ag, wat meer kan ek gee?
Ons hoort mos tesame soos die wind en die see
Ek gee jou my liefde, ag, wat meer kan ek gee?

The Blonde Sailor

She stands on the harbor of Table Bay Strand,
Her sailor-lover she holds by the hand
She complains about her fate, her heart is too sore
She has no home and Mother love anymore...
Take me, O sailor, take me with you as you roam
With you I want to weep, want to laugh, want to die.
We belong together like the wind and the sea
I give you my love, ah, what more can I give?
We belong together like the wind and the sea
I give you my love, ah, what more can I give?
Take me, O sailor, take me with you as you roam;
Y you I want to weep, want to laugh, want to die.
We belong together like the wind and the sea
I give you my love, ah, what more can I give?
We belong together like the wind and the sea
I give you my love, ah, what more can I give?
