Текст песни и перевод на английский Francois van Coke - Ek Wens

Ek Wens

Dis ′n klein stad waar ek wakker word
Een waarvan ek my hele lewe lank wou ontsnap
Moenie my veroordeel nie
As jy teen die monsters veg
Pasop om nie een te word nie
Pasop om nie een te word nie

Ek is bewus
Dis al klaar te laat
Lank genoeg geleef om in 'n strik te trap
Dit is nie ′n voordeel nie
As jy glo die monster is reg
Pasop om nie een te word nie
Pasop om nie een te word nie

Ek wens vir 'n beter toekoms vir ons saam
In 'n land sonder bloedbelope grond
Ek wens vir minder misdaad en minder haat
Ek weet nie wie my mense is nie
Ek weet nie wie my mense is nie

Hier is ek nou
In dieselfde boot
Ek is uit
Maar hulle trek my net weer in
Ek kan nie kant kies nie
As jy met die semels meng
Dan sluk die varke jou in
Dan sluk die varke jou in

Ek wens vir ′n beter toekoms vir ons saam
In ′n land sonder bloedbelope grond
Ek wens vir minder misdaad en minder haat
Ek weet nie wie my mense is nie
Ek weet nie wie my mense is nie

Ek wens vir 'n beter toekoms vir ons saam
In ′n land sonder bloedbelope grond
Ek wens vir minder misdaad en minder haat
Ek weet nie wie my mense is nie
Ek weet nie wie my mense is nie

Ek weet nie wie my mense is nie
Ek weet nie wie my mense is nie
Ek weet nie wie my mense is nie
Ek weet nie wie my mense is nie

I Wish

This is the small town where I woke up
The one I wished to escape from my whole life
Don't you judge me
When you fight the monster
Be careful not to become one
Be careful not to become one

I am aware
It's already too late
Been alive long enough to fall into a trap
That's not an advantage
When you believe the monster is right
Be careful not to become one
Be careful not to become one

I wish for a better future for us together
In a land without blood-soaked ground
I wish for less crime and less hatred
I don't know who my people are
I don't know who my people are

Here I am now
All in the same boat
I am out
But they keep dragging me in
I can't take sides
When you mix with the chaff
Then the pigs gobble you up
Then the pigs gobble you up

I wish for a better future for us together
In a land without blood-soaked ground
I wish for less crime and less hatred
I don't know who my people are
I don't know who my people are

I wish for a better future for us together
In a land without blood-soaked ground
I wish for less crime and less hatred
I don't know who my people are
I don't know who my people are

I don't know who my people are
I don't know who my people are
I don't know who my people are
I don't know who my people are
