Текст и перевод песни Koos Kombuis - Lisa Se Klavier

Lisa Se Klavier

Ek het 'n vriendin ver by die blou see
Teen die hang van Tafelberg, as die son sak, speel sy die mooiste melodiëe
Haar vingers ken die pad opgesluit in wit en swart
Die klavier se grootste vreugde, hartseer en verlange, verstaan die hart se diepste smart
Koortjie: (x2)
Ja, die hele wereld word stil, en luister in die donker uur
Na die naggeluide van Lisa se Klavier
En Lisa kannie ophou as sy eers begin het nie,

Ek staan op haar balkon, ek drink haar appelkoostee
Kyk uit na Kaapstad in die nag, die liggies, en die swart, swart see
Koortjie (x2)
En onder op die sypaadjie, sien ek die bergie en sy maat
Staan op en opkyk ver na bo, vannuit die vullis van Oranjestraat
Hul ken al lank die klanke wat uit haar woonstel stroom
Lank na twaalf, met die deure oop, al moan die bure ookal hoe,
Word Lisa elke boemelaar se droom
Koortjie

Lisa's Piano

I have a friend far away by the blue sea
On the slopes of Table Mountain, as the sun sets, she plays the most beautiful melodies
Her fingers know the path locked in white and black
The piano's greatest joy, sadness and longing, understands the heart's deepest pain
Chorus: (x2)
Yes, the whole world falls silent, and listens in the dark hour
To the night sounds of Lisa's piano
And Lisa can't stop once she's started

I stand on her balcony, I drink her apricot tea
Looking out at Cape Town at night, the lights, and the black, black sea
Chorus (x2)
And down on the sidewalk, I see the homeless man and his companion
Standing and looking up far above, from the garbage of Oranjestraat
They've known the sounds that flow from her apartment for a long time
Long after twelve, with the doors open, even if the neighbors complain,
Lisa becomes every hobo's dream
Chorus
