Paroles et traduction Riaan Benade - Droom

Droom

Whooooo – whoooooo
Whooooo – whoooooo

Agt jaar oud en hard probeer
Om alles te doen en oor niks om te gee
Snaaks hoe modder net af kon vee
Ons kanse gevat en lesse geleer

Dertien en die meisies probeer
Net rugby gejol en harte gebreek
Bokke gejag op oupa se plaas
Gemoer met 'n belt as ons sondae sou raas

Oh as my jonger self my nou moes sien sou hy sê

Waar is jy nou?
Waar is ons drome my ou?
Wat jy gemaak met ina ek sien haar nie hier nie?
Ja jy't die kar en gebou
En niemand om jou vas te hou
Maar al wat ek moet weet is
Droom jy nog na jy bid
Voor jy gaan slaap?

Whooooo – whoooooo

Sestien en baie gesoen
'N fiets en 'n straat iets om te doen
Lankal geleer rook op die plaas
Agtien gesien in 'n moerse haas

Planne gemaak om vêr te gaan
Die wêreld te sien net omdat ek kan
Lief te wees vir ina se seuns
En oupa te wees soos oupa was eens

Oh as my jonger self my nou moes sien sou hy sê
Sou hy sê

Waar is jy nou?
Waar is ons drome my ou?
Wat jy gemaak met ina ek sien haar nie hier nie?
Ja jy't die kar en gebou
En niemand om jou vas te hou
Maar al wat ek moet weet is
Droom jy nog na jy bid
Voor jy gaan slaap?

Whooooo – whoooooo
Whooooo – whoooooo

Agt jaar oud en hard probeer
Om alles te doen en oor niks om te gee
Snaaks hoe modder net af kon vee
Ons kanse gevat en lesse geleer

Dream

Whooooo – whoooooo
Whooooo – whoooooo

At eight years old, and trying hard
To do everything and care about nothing at all
Funny how mud could just wash away
Taking chances and learning lessons

At thirteen, and the girls tried
Only playing rugby and hearts broken
Hunting bucks on grandpa's farm
Being spanked with a belt when we were noisy on Sundays

Oh, if my younger self could see me now, he'd say

Where are you now?
Where are our dreams, my friend?
What did you do with mom, I don't see her here?
Yes, you've got the car and the house
And no one to hold you tight
But all I want to know is
Do you still dream after you pray
Before you go to sleep?

Whooooo – whoooooo

At sixteen, and plenty of kissing
A bike and the streets, something to do
Learned to smoke on the farm long ago
At eighteen, seen in a great hurry

Made plans to go far
To see the world just because I could
To be loved by mom's sons
And to be a grandpa like grandpa once was

Oh, if my younger self could see me now, he'd say
He would say

Where are you now?
Where are our dreams, my friend?
What did you do with mom, I don't see her here?
Yes, you've got the car and the house
And no one to hold you tight
But all I want to know is
Do you still dream after you pray
Before you go to sleep?

Whooooo – whoooooo
Whooooo – whoooooo

At eight years old, and trying hard
To do everything and care about nothing at all
Funny how mud could just wash away
Taking chances and learning lessons
