Текст и перевод песни Laurika Rauch - Ek Wou Jou Laat Lag

Ek Wou Jou Laat Lag

Ek het jou opgemerk – verwoed was jou dwaal deur die paaie
En in jou stap, was daar ′n groet – op jou wange die trane
En in jou oeewas daar die hopeloosheid
Wat kom inkruip het toe jy jou hart toesluit
Ek was daar
Ek was daar

Ek wou jou laat lag, ek wou vir jou teruggee
Die lig in jou oe, die hoop om te glo
Ek wou jou laat lag, ek wou jou laat sien wat jy verdien
Ja, ek wou jou laat lag, ek wou aan jou raak
Ek wou deur my note met jou praat
Ek wou jou laat lag
Ek wou jou laat sien – ek wou

En toe die ysberg om jou smelt – was daar sagte wit strome
En dit het uitgevloei na my, soos na woude en bome
Jy't agterna gekom, jy wou sien hoe ek lyk
Jy′t my vasgehou, of jy nou eers begryp
Ek was daar
Ek was daar

Ek wou jou laat lag, ek wou vir jou teruggee
Die lig in jou oë, die hoop om te glo
Ek wou jou laat lag, ek wou jou laat sien wat jy verdien
Ja, ek wou jou laat lag, ek wou aan jou raak
Ek wou deur my note met jou praat
Ek wou jou laat lag
Ek wou jou laat sien – ek wou

Oe- oe-oe- oe...

Ek wou jou laat lag, ek wou vir jou teruggee.
Die lig in jou oë, die hoop om te glo
Ek wou jou laat lag, ek wou jou laat sien wat jy verdien.
Ja, ek wou jou laat lag, ek wou aan jou raak
Ek wou deur my note met jou praat
Ek wou jou laat lag
Ek wou jou laat sien – ek wou

Oe- oe-oe- oe...

I Wanted to Make You Laugh

I noticed you - lost, you wandered the streets
And in your step, there was a greeting - tears on your cheeks
And in your eyes, there was despair
That crept in when you locked your heart away
I was there
I was there

I wanted to make you laugh, to give you back
The light in your eyes, the hope to believe
I wanted to make you laugh, to show you what you deserve
Yes, I wanted to make you laugh, to touch you
I wanted to speak to you through my notes
I wanted to make you laugh
I wanted to show you - I wanted to

And when the iceberg melted around you - there were soft white streams
And they flowed out to me, as if to forests and trees
You came after, you wanted to see what I looked like
You held me, do you understand now?
I was there
I was there

I wanted to make you laugh, to give you back
The light in your eyes, the hope to believe
I wanted to make you laugh, to show you what you deserve
Yes, I wanted to make you laugh, to touch you
I wanted to speak to you through my notes
I wanted to make you laugh
I wanted to show you - I wanted to

Oh- oh-oh- oh...

I wanted to make you laugh, to give you back.
The light in your eyes, the hope to believe
I wanted to make you laugh, to show you what you deserve.
Yes, I wanted to make you laugh, to touch you
I wanted to speak to you through my notes
I wanted to make you laugh
I wanted to show you - I wanted to

Oh- oh-oh- oh...
