Paroles et traduction Spoegwolf - Skemer (Maria)

Skemer (Maria)

In die skemer op blou Stellenbosch
Het ons dit maar in die straat gelos
En al die rich kids drink Chardonnay
Maar ek moes pak en ry
Met die band

Ek hoop dat ek jou eendag weer sien
Dalk as ek genoeg verdien
En sê
Lief, ek het daai huis toe gekry
Ek laat boemelaars daar bly
Maar ek en jy kan ry

Na 'n saal waar 'n honderd mense
Dans in die hooi
Weet jy, na al die jare
Is jy nog so mooi vir my

Emanuel
God was met ons
Lig sy mantel
Oor die hier en die nou
Al is dit net vanaand
Kan ons dans, man
Ek stel jou voor met my van

Daar's wolke in jou Stellenbosch
Weet jy, dié songs
Het lewens gekos
Dis beloftes?
Wel, ek kan doen met een
Al is dit na die reën
En met die band

Dalk was ek deel van die plan
Ek lê my neer vir die uitwerk
Daarvan dan
Maar kan ek vra
Dat my woorde sal lees
Waar mense vergeet
Om lief te wees vir mekaar?

Emanuel
God was met ons
Lig sy mantel
Oor die hier en die nou

Skemer (Maria)

At dusk in Stellenbosch
You abandoned me on the street
And all the rich kids drink Chardonnay
But I had to pack and leave
With the band

I hope I see you again someday
Maybe when I've made enough money
And say
Darling, I bought that house
I let the homeless stay there
But you and I can go

To a hall where a hundred people
Dance in the hay
You know, after all these years
You're still so beautiful to me

Emanuel
God was with us
He raises his cloak
Over the here and now
Even if it's just tonight
Can we dance, man
I'll introduce you with my last name

There are clouds in your Stellenbosch
You know, these songs
Have cost lives
Are these promises?
Well, I could do with one
Even if it's after the rain
And with the band

Maybe I was part of the plan
I lie down for the exercise
Of it
But can I ask
That my words will be read
Where people forget
To love each other?

Emanuel
God was with us
He raises his cloak
Over the here and now
