Paroles et traduction Robbie Wessels - Afrika Sonsak

Afrika Sonsak

Ek's lief vir jou, Afrika sonsak.
Ek's lief vir jou, Afrika son.
Ons is lief vir jou, Afrika sonsak.
Ons is lief vir jou, Afrika son.
As ek kon weghol, waarheen sou ek gaan?
Sou ek my trane, begrawe ver hiervandaan?
Waar niemand my herken nie.
En niemand my hoor sing.
Niemand my verstaan nie.
Niemand vir my wink en sê: "Ken ek jou nie?"
As jy kon uitroep, wat sou jy wou vra?
Bitter mooi aarde, O, land Suid Afrika.
Ons bid vir jou survival.
Ons hoop vir jou bestaan.
Ons glo in jou revival.
En sestig duisend mans staan op, ons sing vir jou.
Ek's lief vir jou, Afrika sonsak.
Ek's lief vir jou, Afrika son.
Ons is lief vir jou, Afrika sonsak.
Ons is lief vir jou, Afrika son.
O, Kaapstad, o, Hexrivier vallei.
Droë Karoo, Bloemfontein verby.
Gauteng die Drakensberge.
Limpopo en Transkei.
Krugerwildtuin en die Bosveld.
Waar ookal die pad jou lei.
Kom ry deur my.
Ek's lief vir jou, Afrika sonsak.
Ek's lief vir jou, Afrika son.
Ons is lief vir jou, Afrika sonsak.
Ons is lief vir jou, Afrika son.
Uiteindelik sien ons jou meesterstuk.
Oranje, rooi en dan goud.
En ons "capture" die moment met foto's.
Want een van die dae is ons oud.
En dan kan ons sê ons was hier.
By Bronkhorstspruit dam met 'n bier.
Saam met Laurika Rauch op die N4, Mannetjie Roux nostalgie.
Vergeet om my te vergeet, maar vandag vergeet ek nie.
Ek's lief vir jou, Afrika sonsak.
Ek's lief vir jou Afrika son.
Ons is lief vir jou, Afrika sonsak.
Ons is lief vir jou, Afrika son.

African Sunset

I love you, African sunset.
I love you, African sun.
We love you, African sunset.
We love you, African sun.
If I could run away, where would I go?
Would I bury my tears, far from here?
Where no one knows me.
And no one hears me sing.
No one understands me.
No one winks at me and says, "Don't I know you?"
If you could cry out, what would you ask?
Bitter beautiful land, oh, land of South Africa.
We pray for your survival.
We hope for your existence.
We believe in your revival.
And sixty thousand men stand up and sing for you.
I love you, African sunset.
I love you, African sun.
We love you, African sunset.
We love you, African sun.
Oh, Cape Town, oh, Hex River Valley.
Dry Karoo, Bloemfontein far behind.
Gauteng, the Drakensberg mountains.
Limpopo and Transkei.
Kruger National Park and the Bushveld.
Wherever the road leads you.
Come and drive through me.
I love you, African sunset.
I love you, African sun.
We love you, African sunset.
We love you, African sun.
Finally, we see your masterpiece.
Orange, red, and then gold.
And we "capture" the moment with photos.
Because one day we will be old.
And then we can say we were here.
At Bronkhorstspruit dam with a beer.
With Laurika Rauch on the N4, Mannetjie Roux nostalgia.
Forget to forget me, but today I won't forget.
I love you, African sunset.
I love you, African sun.
We love you, African sunset.
We love you, African sun.
