Paroles et traduction Robbie Wessels - Halley se Komeet (Akoestiese weergawe)

Halley se Komeet (Akoestiese weergawe)

As ek net meer kan droom
Van die wind in die takke
Van die ou wilgerboom op die plaas
Ek sal alles verruil om weer Sondag na kerk
Saam met Remi te huil vir oulaas

Ek wens ek sien weer vir die eerste keer die suiderkruis
Ek wens my oupa kan weer Halley se komeet uitwys
Soos 'n kindjie na 'n kinderbybel prentjie kyk
Wil ek vir oulaas weer die stofreen op die grondpad ruik
Kan Pinocchio asseblief nou uit daai walvis klim
As Heidi se oupa net sy snor wil trim
Ek wens ek kan Neels Holgerson laat beter voel
Ek wens die reen wil weer die grondpad op die plaas verspoel

Mamma kook vir ons bokmelk vanaand
Smelt vir ons kaas in die pan
Vertel vir my weer hoe kry Heidi so seer
En waar kom Tautau vandaan
As ek net weer kan glo
Soos 'n kind kan vertrou
Daar is engele daar bo wat ons bless
As ek net weer kan kyk
Hoe die vlei begin loop
En hoe jou mielies weer mooi lyk John West

Is Remi se apie dan dood
Of speel hy nogsteed toneel
Pa is Nonna al terug
Is dit reen in die lug
Of het ek myself weer verbeel

Halley's Comet (Acoustic Version)

If I could only dream more
About the wind in the branches
Of the old willow tree on the farm
I would trade everything to go back to church on Sunday
To cry with Remi one last time

I wish I could see the Southern Cross again for the first time
I wish my grandpa could point out Halley's Comet again
Like a child looking at a children's Bible picture
I want to smell the dust on the dirt road again
Can Pinocchio please get out of that whale now
If only Heidi's grandpa would trim his mustache
I wish I could make Nils Holgersson feel better
I wish the rain would wash away the dirt road on the farm again

Momma cooks us goat milk tonight
Melts cheese for us in the pan
Tell me again how Heidi gets so hurt
And where does Tautau come from
If I could only believe again
As a child can trust
There are angels up there who bless us
If I could only see again
How the river starts to flow
And how your corn looks beautiful again, John West

Is Remi's monkey dead
Or is he still playing the game
Pa is Nonna back yet
Is it rain in the air
Or have I imagined it again
