Текст и перевод песни Anneli van Rooyen - Luister Na Die Wind

Luister Na Die Wind

As jy aleen deur bosse stap
En die eensaamheid in jou hand kan vat
As die son die stiltes stiller bak
Luister na die wind

Soos klip kop en soos doring bos
Die eenlingskap ken jy mos
Want daar's dinge wat die wind vertel
Wat mense nooit kan se

Luister na die wind wat waai
En skuur deur buffelgras
Luister na sy fluister-praat
Soos riet silinder blaar
Na kantates tussen blare
Van die bos en kremetart
En sifreen wat ons toevou in die nag

As ek alleen deur ruigtes stap
En die besies in die soetgras roep
As die stiltes tussen my en jou
Soos 'n bosveld stilte le

Verlange tussen my en jou
Le op die wind se vlerk
'n Groen duif koer
Is dit jou stem
Of is dit net die wind

Luister na die wind wat waai
En skuur deur buffelgras
Luister na sy fluister-praat
Soos riet silinder blaar
Na kantates tussen blare
Van die bos en kremetart
En sifreen wat ons toevou in die nag

Daar's dinge wat die wind vertel
Wat mense nooit kan se
Die woorde wat in stiltes
Tussen my en jou kom le
Die wind vertel ons stories
Van oranje kampvuur lig
Luister na die wind
Luister na die wind

Daar's dinge wat die wind vertel
Wat mense nooit kan se
Die woorde wat in stiltes
Tussen my en jou kom le
Daar's dinge wat die wind vertel
Wat mense nooit kan se
Luister, luister, luister
Na die wind

Listen To The Wind

When I walk alone through the bushes
And loneliness I can hold in my hand
When the sun bakes the silence even more silent
Listen to the wind

Like stone head and like thorn bush
Loneliness, you know it well
Because there are things the wind tells
That people can never say

Listen to the wind that blows
And rustles through buffalo grass
Listen to its whispering talk
Like reed cylinder leaf
To cantatas between leaves
Of the bush and baobab tree
And lilac that enfolds us in the night

When I walk alone through thickets
And the bees call in the sweet grass
When the silence between me and you
Lies like a bushveld silence

Longing between me and you
Lies on the wind's wing
A green dove coos
Is it your voice
Or is it just the wind

Listen to the wind that blows
And rustles through buffalo grass
Listen to its whispering talk
Like reed cylinder leaf
To cantatas between leaves
Of the bush and baobab tree
And lilac that enfolds us in the night

There are things the wind tells
That people can never say
The words that in silences
Come to lie between me and you
The wind tells us stories
Of orange campfire light
Listen to the wind
Listen to the wind

There are things the wind tells
That people can never say
The words that in silences
Come to lie between me and you
There are things the wind tells
That people can never say
Listen, listen, listen
To the wind
