Paroles et traduction Laurika Rauch - Skimme

Skimme

Daar's skimme, op donker balkonne,
Met lëe, oop koffers wat wag
Daar's skimme, op skemer perronne,
Wat wag op 'n trein na die dag

Weerlose, weerlose mense
Op reis van perron na perron
In 'n middernagland
Sonder grense of tyd
En 'n ewigheid ver van die son, van die son
En 'n ewigheid ver van die son

Daar's skimme, gewikkel in jasse
Verskans teen die winde van ys
Daar's skimme, met kiste soos tasse,
Vol drome gepak vir die reis

Weerlose, weerlose mense
Op reis van perron na perron
In 'n middernagland
Sonder grense of tyd
En 'n ewigheid ver van die son, van die son
En 'n ewigheid ver van die son, van die son
En 'n ewigheid ver van die son

Weerlose, weerlose mense
Op reis van perron na perron
In 'n middernagland
Sonder grense of tyd
En 'n ewigheid ver van die son, van die son
En 'n ewigheid ver van die son

Shadows

There are shadows, on dark balconies,
With empty, open suitcases waiting
There are shadows, on twilight platforms,
Waiting for a train to the day

Helpless, helpless people
Traveling from platform to platform
In a midnight land
Without borders or time
And an eternity away from the sun, from the sun
And an eternity away from the sun

There are shadows, wrapped in coats
Barricaded against icy winds
There are shadows, with chests like suitcases,
Packed with dreams for the journey

Helpless, helpless people
Traveling from platform to platform
In a midnight land
Without borders or time
And an eternity away from the sun, from the sun
And an eternity away from the sun, from the sun
And an eternity away from the sun

Helpless, helpless people
Traveling from platform to platform
In a midnight land
Without borders or time
And an eternity away from the sun, from the sun
And an eternity away from the sun
