Текст и перевод песни Laurika Rauch - Vanaand Se Maan

Vanaand Se Maan

Nag loop sy paaie
Duisternis kry sy sin
Geluide word lawaaie
Want die nagstilte het begin
Ver-af skreeu ′n kiewiet rou
'N Jakkals kreun sy klag

En vanaand se maan
Is ′n hartseer maan
Is 'n spierwit maan
Vanaand se maan is mooi

Nag loop sy paaie
Duisternis gaan sy gang
Die donker word nou baie
En die baie maak bang
Nag se swart maak dood die lig
Die dag sterf in 'n ster

En vanaand se maan
Is ′n hartseer maan
Is ′n spierwit maan
Vanaand se maan is mooi

Want vra maar die maan as hy so lyk
Hoe dink ek nog aan jou
Vra hom of hy hartseer is
Want hy kan ook onthou

Donker word ligter
Dag se son breek die nag
Die aarde word stil wakker
Want die son sê: dit is nou dag
Twaalf ure se fel verlang
Voor nag jou weer omvou

En dan's vanaand se maan
Weer ′n hartseer maan
En 'n spierwit maan
Vanaand se maan
Vanaand se maan is dan weer mooi

Tonight's Moon

Night walks its paths
Darkness takes hold of the mind
Noises become loud
For the silence of the night has begun
From afar, a lapwing calls out in sorrow
A jackal howls its complaint

And tonight's moon
Is a sad moon
Is a pure white moon
Tonight's moon is beautiful

Night walks its paths
Darkness takes its course
The darkness is now very
And the very is frightening
Night's black kills the light
The day dies in a star

And tonight's moon
Is a sad moon
Is a pure white moon
Tonight's moon is beautiful

For ask the moon as he looks like that
How do I still think of you
Ask him if he is sad
For he also can remember

Darkness becomes lighter
The day's sun breaks the night
The earth awakens in silence
For the sun says: it is now day
Twelve hours of fierce longing
Before the night envelops you again

And then tonight's moon
Is again a sad moon
And a pure white moon
Tonight's moon
Tonight's moon is then beautiful again
