Paroles et traduction Laurika Rauch - Victoriabaai

Victoriabaai

Kyk hoe sluit die son die hemel oop
Kyk hoe wyk die nag, voor die dag.
Kyk hoe word die see in goud gedoop
Kyk hoe bloos die strand, vol van hoop
Gedagtes vat my soos 'n kolk wat draai
Deur die newels na Victoriabaai.
Waar die branders in die skuim rond waai
Styg my hart tot waar die seemeeu draai.

Ai ai ai ai ai ai ai Ai ek wens ek was nou daar
Ai ai ai ai ai ai ai
Op my kliptroon by Victoriabaai
Daar kan ek nog soms my siel oopknoop;
Daar verdwyn die nag en word dit dag.
Daar kan ek my kop van kommer stroop
Op my rots, my troon, vind ek hoop.

Ai ai ai ai ai ai ai Ai ek wens ek was nou daar
Ai ai ai ai ai ai ai
Op my kliptroon by Victoriabaai
Ai ai ai ai ai ai ai Ai ek wens ek was nou daar
Ai ai ai ai ai ai ai
Op my kliptroon by Victoriabaai
Op my kliptroon by Victoriabaai
Op my kliptroon by Victoriabaai

Victoria Bay

Look how the sun opens up the sky
Look how the night fades away, before the day.
Look how the sea is baptised in gold
Look how the beach blushes, full of hope
Thoughts take hold of me like a whirlpool that spins
Through the mists to Victoria Bay.
Where the breakers foam and spray
My heart soars to where the seagull plays.

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh I wish I was there now
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
On my rocky throne at Victoria Bay
There I can sometimes unburden my soul;
There the night disappears and it becomes day.
There I can rid my mind of worry
On my rock, my throne, I find hope.

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh I wish I was there now
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
On my rocky throne at Victoria Bay
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh I wish I was there now
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
On my rocky throne at Victoria Bay
On my rocky throne at Victoria Bay
On my rocky throne at Victoria Bay
