Jonk In My Kop - Stef Bos traduction en anglais

Jonk In My Kop

Ek kyk na die klok
Die tyd gaan verby
Staan op in die oggend
My spiere is styf
Maar in my gedagtes
Is ik eindelik vry
Jonk in my kop
Oud in my lyf

Ek was 16 jaar
Hartseer en pyn
Verlief op 'n meisie
Wat ek nie kon kry
Ek was so ernstig en diep
My gedagtes was grys
Ek was toe oud in my kop
En jonk in my lyf

Dis goed om te wees
Waar ek nou is
Jy maak my nie mal nie
Ek weet wie ek is
Ek is nie meer lus nie
Om te mors met my tyd
Jonk in my kop
Oud in my lyf

Daar 's pragtig jong meisies
Hier in die land
Maar om eerlik te wees
Hulle maak my nie warm
Skoonheid is mooi
Maar ervaring is meer
Soos 'n vrou wat het geleer
Om haarself uit te sorteer

My rug is ontwrig
My hare val uit
Ek benodig 'n bril
Om na die wêreld te kyk
Maar in my verbeelding
Sien ek soveel meer
Die angs vir die einde
Beheer my nie meer

Dis goed om te wees
Waar ek nou is
Jy maak my nie mal nie
Ek weet wie ek is
Ek weet wat nou saak maak
Mors minder my tyd
Jonk in my kop
Oud in my lyf

Ek staan op in die oggend
My spiere is styf
Ek sien in die spieël
Die tol van die tyd
Daar's baie gebreke
Waaraan ek ly
Ek is 'n kar wat geroes is
Maar ek kan nog ry

Young in My Heart

I look at the clock
Time passes by
Get up in the morning
My muscles are stiff
But in my mind
I'm finally free
Young in my heart
Old in my body

I was 16 years old
Heartbreak and pain
In love with a girl
I could not gain
I was so serious and deep
My thoughts were gray
I was old in my heart then
And young in my body

It's good to be
Where I am now
You don't drive me crazy
I know what I'm all about
I don't feel like any more
To waste my time
Young in my heart
Old in my body

There are beautiful young girls
Around in this land
But to tell you the truth
They don't make me hot
Beauty is nice
But experience is more
Like a woman who has learned
To sort herself out

My back is out
My hair falls out
I need a pair of glasses
To look at the world
But in my imagination
I see so much more
The fear of the end
Doesn't rule me anymore

It's good to be
Where I am now
You don't drive me crazy
I know what I'm all about
I know what really matters now
Less time to waste
Young in my heart
Old in my body

I get up in the morning
My muscles are stiff
I look in the mirror
Time has taken its toll
There are many flaws
That I suffer from
I'm a rusted-out car
But I can still drive
