Paroles et traduction Riana Nel - By My

By My

Die deur swaai oop, hy sê vir my:
"Aspoestertjie jy's myne
En selfs in sak en as is jou skoonheid sonder einde"
En in sy oë is ek verlore
Ek sukkel om te staan
Maar wie sou ooit kon raai dat hy sou sê dat hy sou bly

By my, vannaand
Bly by my vannaand
Voor die oggend jou hier by my kry
Sê jy sal bly vannaand
Bly by my vannaand
Die ure in die glas loop vinnig uit
En al wat ons wil hê is tyd

Maak dit saak, die aand's verby
Maar dis lank nog nie die einde
Die sprokie het toe waar geword
Kan jy glo ek is nou syne?
Die sekondewyser slaan alweer
Maar tyd is nou ons vriend
En wie sou ooit kon raai dat hy sou sê dat hy sou bly

By my, vannaand
Bly by my vannaand
Voor die oggend jou hier by my kry
Sê jy sal bly vannaand
Bly by my vannaand
Die ure in die glas loop vinnig uit
En al wat ons wil hê is tyd wat nooit uitloop nie
En liefde wat vertrou
En selfs hier in my swakheid
Sal ek aanhou klou

Jy sal bly by my
Bly by my vannaand
Voor die oggend jou hier by my kry
Jy sal bly vannaand
Bly by my vannaand
Die ure in die glas loop vinnig uit
En al wat ons wil hê is tyd

With Me

The door swings open, and he tells me:
"Cinderella, you're mine,
And even in sackcloth and ashes, your beauty knows no end"
And in his eyes, I'm lost
I struggle to stand
But who could have guessed he'd say he'd stay

With me, tonight
Stay with me tonight
Before morning finds you here with me
Say you'll stay tonight
Stay with me tonight
The hours in the hourglass are running out
And all we want is time

Does it matter, the evening's gone
But it's far from the end
The fairy tale has come true
Can you believe I'm his now?
The second hand strikes again
But time is now our friend
And who could have guessed he'd say he'd stay

With me, tonight
Stay with me tonight
Before morning finds you here with me
Say you'll stay tonight
Stay with me tonight
The hours in the hourglass are running out
And all we want is time that never runs out
And a love that trusts
And even here in my weakness
I'll keep clinging on

You'll stay with me
Stay with me tonight
Before morning finds you here with me
You'll stay tonight
Stay with me tonight
The hours in the hourglass are running out
And all we want is time
