Текст и перевод песни Elandré - Tussen Die Lakens

Tussen Die Lakens

Tussen die lakens mis ek jou lyf
Kollekteer ek wapens om geeste uit te dryf
Ja tussen die lakens raak ek te skaam
Lees jy vir my woorde al wat ek sing is jou naam
Ek onthou jou op my vensterbank sit en
In een sekonde was my grys hart weer wit
Jy met jou hare en ek met my trane
Soos jy vir my se dat jy oor die water gaan
Sit my in jou sak soek my waar jy gaan
En kyk so nou en dan op na die maan
En weet ek kyk ook en ek onthou
Ja ek onthou jou
Tussen die lankens het ons beloof,
Al rol al die houe sal ons hou aan ons geloof
Maar op hierdie oomblik is jy ver en bereid
Ek sien n kroon en jy gaan agteruit
Ek onthou jou op my vensterbank sit en
In een sekonde was my grys hart weer wit
Jy met jou hare en ek met my trane
Soos jy vir my se dat jy oor die water gaan
Sit my in jou sak soek my waar jy gaan
En kyk so nou en dan op na die maan
En weet ek kyk ook en ek onthou
Ja ek onthou jou
Wat as ons kon grootword met die lewe wat ons
Soek hoekom sit ons al die dromers almal in n hoek
Toe ek jou ontmoet het was ons altwee nog te jonk
Vir werk en stres en stories van ons vriende in die tronk
Dalk as ek kon oorbegin sou als nou anders wees
Ek sou meer terugbel en die lewe bietjie leef
Arm maar geduldig, ja my pa was dalk tog reg
Here jammer as ek moeilik was maar hoërskool was te erg
Sit my in jou sak soek my waar jy gaan
En kyk so nou en dan op na die maan
En weet ek kyk ook en ek onthou
Ja ek onthou jou
Ja ek onthou jou
Ja ek onthou jou

Between the Sheets

Between the sheets I miss your body
I collect weapons to exorcise ghosts
Yes between the sheets I become too ashamed
Read my words for me all I sing is your name
I remember you sitting on my windowsill and
In a second my gray heart was white again
You with your hair and me with my tears
As you tell me that you're going over the water
Put me in your pocket look for me wherever you go
And look up at the moon every now and then
And know I'm looking too and I remember
Yes I remember you
Between the sheets we promised,
Even if all the blows roll we will hold onto our faith
But at this moment you are far and ready
I see a crown and you're going backwards
I remember you sitting on my windowsill and
In a second my gray heart was white again
You with your hair and me with my tears
As you tell me that you're going over the water
Put me in your pocket look for me wherever you go
And look up at the moon every now and then
And know I'm looking too and I remember
Yes I remember you
What if we could grow up with the life that we
Seek why do we put all the dreamers in a corner
When I met you we were both still too young
For work and stress and stories of our friends in prison
Maybe if I could start over everything would be different now
I would call back more and live life a little
Poor but patient yes my father was right after all
Lord I'm sorry if I was difficult but high school was too much
Put me in your pocket look for me wherever you go
And look up at the moon every now and then
And know I'm looking too and I remember
Yes I remember you
Yes I remember you
Yes I remember you
