Paroles et traduction Laurika Rauch - Woud Van Stilte

Woud Van Stilte

Wanneer die herberge teen my gesluit word
As ek van vermoeienis klein is
Vlam jy 'n vuurherd van vertroosting

Jy laat die grys van gister
Rooi in donker klowe blom
In my hart plant jy
'N Woud van stilte

Wanneer ek teen die skemer se sperdraad verstar
Die nag soos 'n tronk om my sluit
As my oë oorstroom
Verjaag jy die droefnis met die oop horison van jou stem

Jy laat die grys van gister
Rooi in donker klowe blom
In my hart plant jy
'N Woud van stilte

Wanneer die twyfel snuffel aan my dink
As ek steier teen die afgrond van vreemde kennis
Leer jy my vlieg soos 'n boot met seile

Jy laat die grys van gister
Rooi in donker klowe blom
In my hart plant jy
'N Woud van stilte

Wanneer die twyfel snuffel aan my dink
As ek steier teen die afgrond
Leer jy my vlieg soos 'n boot met seile

Jy laat die grys van gister
Rooi in donker klowe blom
In my hart plant jy
'N Woud van stilte

Jy plant 'n woud van stilte

Forest of Silence

When the inn is closed against me
When I am weary and small
You kindle a hearth of comfort

You make the gray of yesterday
Bloom red in dark ravines
In my heart, you plant
A forest of silence

When I freeze against the barbed wire of twilight
The night closes around me like a prison
When my eyes overflow
You banish sorrow with your voice's open horizon

You make the gray of yesterday
Bloom red in dark ravines
In my heart, you plant
A forest of silence

When doubt snuffles at my thoughts
When I stagger on the precipice of strange knowledge
You teach me to fly like a boat with sails

You make the gray of yesterday
Bloom red in dark ravines
In my heart, you plant
A forest of silence

When doubt snuffles at my thoughts
When I stumble on the precipice
You teach me to fly like a boat with sails

You make the gray of yesterday
Bloom red in dark ravines
In my heart, you plant
A forest of silence

You plant a forest of silence
