Paroles et traduction Karen Zoid - Engel

Engel

Ek het vriende wat ek sien
Ek is verslaaf aan nikotien
Ek hou van karre wat kan ry
Ek huil gewoonlik as ek baklei
Ek het gedink dat dit sou reen
Toe word ek stil en wag alleen
Tot jy kom klop het
Aan my deur

Ek het n dak bo-oor my kop
En in die winter like ek sop
Ek raak benoud wanneer jy luister
Net soos wanneer mense fluister
Ek wonder of jy sal onthou
Dat jou woorde aan my klou
As jy my insluk sonder om te kou

En ek skree 'n song vir jou my my lief
Bly nog n rukkie asseblief

Want as ek sing dan sing jy saam
In 'n droom roep ek jou naam

Ek is so dronk soos Koos Kombuis
Daar is geen swembad by my huis
My sussie bly in Potchefstroom
Die mense daar rook almal boom
Vier seisoene in jou traan
Hou my vas wanneer jy gaan
En ek weer alleen hier staan

So ek skree 'n song vir jou my lief
Jy is n engel en n dief
Want as ons sing
Dan sing ons saam
In n droom roep ek jou naam

Angel

I have friends that I see
I'm addicted to nicotine
I like cars that can drive
I usually cry when I fight
I thought it was going to rain
Then I became quiet and waited alone
Until you came knocking
On my door

I have a roof over my head
And in the winter I like soup
I get anxious when you listen
Just like when people whisper
I wonder if you will remember
That your words cling to me
When you swallow me whole without chewing

And I scream a song for you my darling
Please stay a little longer

Because when I sing you sing along
In a dream I call your name

I'm as drunk as Koos Kombuis
There is no swimming pool at my house
My sister lives in Potchefstroom
The people there all smoke weed
Four seasons in your tear
Hold me when you go
And I'm standing here alone again

So I scream a song for you my darling
You're an angel and a thief
Because when we sing
We sing together
In a dream I call your name
