Текст и перевод песни Kupido - Was Ek Maar 'n Digter

Was Ek Maar 'n Digter

Was ek maar ′n digter, sou ek dalk kon beskryf
Wat jy aan my doen en hoe ek oor jou voel
In gewone taal mag dit klink asof ek oordryf
As ek probeer hoop ek jy sal verstaan wat ek bedoel

Ek sal jou lief hê tot die hane op hou kraai
Tot die leeu en die lam bymekaar gaan lê
Tot daar stilte oor die aande kom
En die wind nie langer waai
Tot daar gras aan die hemelruim groei sal ek jou lief hê

Totdat al die woorde van my tong verdwyn
Totdat die hoop beskaam en die son nie meer weer skyn
Totdat die berge wegsink in die see en verewig daar bly lê
Dis hoe lank my liefling ek jou sal lief hê

Dis jy wat my in gedagtes kan weg voer
Na die maan en die stêrre wat deur my venster loer
Jy's die warm van ′n kaggel vuur die sprank van volkel wyn
En die son wat die misplaag soggens laat verdwyn

Ek is net 'n mens en my swakheid lê by jou
Hart en siel gee ek daar is niks wat ek weerhou
Net voor die woorde opraak is daar iets wat ek nog moet sê
Verewig liefling sal ek jou lief hê

Totdat die berge wegsink in die see en verewig daar bly lê
Dis hoe lank my liefling ek jou sal lief hê
Dis hoe lank my liefling ek jou sal lief hê

If Only I Were a Poet

If only I were a poet, perhaps I could describe
What you do to me and how I feel about you
In everyday speech it might sound like I'm exaggerating
When I try I hope you'll understand what I mean

I will love you until the roosters stop crowing
Until the lion and the lamb lie down together
Until there is silence over the evenings
And the wind no longer blows
Until grass grows in the sky I will love you

Until all the words from my tongue have vanished
Until hope is shamed and the sun no longer shines again
Until the mountains sink into the sea and lie there for eternity
That's how long my darling I will love you

It's you who can carry me away in my thoughts
To the moon and the stars that peek in through my window
You're the warmth of a fire, the sparkle of full-bodied wine
And the sun that makes the fog disappear in the morning

I'm only human and my weakness lies with you
Heart and soul I give there's nothing holding me back
Just before the words run out there's something I still have to say
Forever darling I will love you

Until the mountains sink into the sea and lie there for eternity
That's how long my darling I will love you
That's how long my darling I will love you
