Paroles et traduction Laurika Rauch - O So Sentimenteel

O So Sentimenteel

Jy vra my om vergiffenis
Jy sê my jy voel sleg
Dan spring jy op ′n straler
Vlieg tien duisend myle weg
My hart is nes 'n klimtol
Waarmee jy lustig speel
O, ek voel broos vanaand
En o, so sentimenteel

Jy bel my net na middernag
En vra my hoe ek voel
Jy sê jy′t my iets moois gekoop
In 'n mark in Istanboel
Oor al jou doen en late
Kan ek my goed verbeel
En nou's ek nie meer vaak
Net o, so sentimenteel

Ek gaan my regruk en uitstyg
Bo wat my onderkry
′N Nuwe lewe inrig
Die oue′s als verby
En wat jy met jouself maak
Kan my die minste skeel
Maar miskien is jy nog lief vir my
Ek's o, so sentimenteel

Die koffie′s koud en bitter
Jou vlug's ′n halfuur laat
Die omie kom sy dogter haal
Maar ek's niks lus vir praat
Die wiele vat-vat baanblad
My hart sit in my keel
Gaan lê, ou hart, gaan lê
Jy′s o, so sentimenteel

Ek gaan my regruk en uitstyg
Bo wat my onderkry
'N Nuwe lewe inrig
Die oue's als verby
En wat jy met jouself maak
Kan my die minste skeel
Maar miskien is jy nog lief vir my
Ek′s o, so sentimenteel

Maar miskien is jy nog lief vir my

O So Sentimental

You ask me for forgiveness
You tell me your regret
Then you jump on a jet plane
Fly ten thousand miles away
My heart is like a yo-yo
That you play with every day
Oh, I feel fragile tonight
And oh, so sentimental

You call me just past midnight
And ask me how I feel
You tell me you have bought me something beautiful
In a market in Istanbul
About your comings and your goings
I can only speculate
And now I'm wide awake
Just oh, so sentimental

I'm gonna rise above it
Surmount what gets me down
Make a new life
The old one's through
And what you do with yourself
Is no concern of mine
But maybe you still love me
I'm oh, so sentimental

The coffee's cold and bitter
Your flight is half an hour late
The old man comes to pick up his daughter
And I can't communicate
The wheels go round and round
My heart is in my throat
Lie down, heart, lie down
You're oh, so sentimental

I'm gonna rise above it
Surmount what gets me down
Make a new life
The old one's through
And what you do with yourself
Is no concern of mine
But maybe you still love me
I'm oh, so sentimental

But maybe you still love me
