Текст и перевод песни Jim Reeves - Verre Land

Verre Land

Verreland
Daar′s 'n ver, verre land, skone land
Waar die sonlig so rein helder skyn.
Dis ′n droomland vir my wat my hart en siel bekoor,
En ek weet ek moet antwoord as ek daardie roepstem hoor:
Vaderland! Dis so ver hiervandaan;
Dis nou tyd, sê vaarwel, ek moet gaan, ek moet gaan, ek moet gaan...
Oor die see wil ek reis na 'n ver paradys
Waar die branders bruis en oestydwinde suis -
Daardie ver, verre land lok my aan...
Hier kan ek nie versuim, ek moet gaan, ek moet gaan, ek moet gaan...
Oor die see wil ek reis na 'n ver paradys
Waar die branders bruis en oestydwinde suis -
Daardie ver, verre land lok my aan...
Hier kan ek nie versuim, ek moet gaan, ek moet gaan, ek moet gaan...

Far Away Land

Far Away Land
There's a far, far away land, a beautiful land
Where the sunlight shines so pure and bright.
It's a dreamland for me, it captivates my heart and soul,
And I know I must answer when I hear that calling voice:
Fatherland! It's so far away from here;
It's time now, say goodbye, I must go, I must go, I must go...
Across the sea I'll journey to a far paradise
Where the surf roars and the autumn winds whistle -
That far, far away land beckons me...
I cannot delay here, I must go, I must go, I must go...
Across the sea I'll journey to a far paradise
Where the surf roars and the autumn winds whistle -
That far, far away land beckons me...
I cannot delay here, I must go, I must go, I must go...
