Текст и перевод песни Laurika Rauch - Waarheen Gaan Die Tyd, My Lam

Waarheen Gaan Die Tyd, My Lam

As die blaar van die boom op die grond sou val
En die wind dit weer kom haal
Sal die wind die blaar na die wolke toe vat
Tot die reën weer op hom val

Dis die siklus van die lewe my kind
Dis ′n mooi en suiwer ding
Soos die een ons groet en aanbeweeg
Begin die engele weer te sing

Waarheen gaan die tyd my Lam
Jy was jonk gewees en jy was skaam
Jy was weggevoer deur die lewenswind
Maar my Hart jy bly - nog steeds my kind

Voor my oë het jy 'n mens geword
In die modder gespeel en bal geskop
Soos ′n pleister jou seer kon beter maak
Het jy ook geleer met die hart - is dit 'n ander saak

Ons het saam gelag en saam gehuil
Al die modes probeer - styl na styl
Jou hart was gebreek en weer heel gemaak
In die kiekies lag ons saam
In die kiekies lag ons saam

Waarheen gaan die tyd my Lam
Jy was jonk gewees en jy was skaam
Jy was vasgevang in die lewenswind
Maar my Hart jy bly - nog steeds my kind

En ek wou jou graag beskerm teen die lewe se seer
Maar tog het ek geweet jy gaan self jou lesse leer

Waarheen gaan die tyd my Lam
Jy was jonk gewees en jy was skaam
Toe's jy weggevoer deur die lewenswind
Maar my Hart jy bly - my kind!

Waarheen gaan die tyd my Lam
Jy was jonk gewees en jy was skaam
Toe′s jy weggevoer deur die lewenswind
Maar my Hart jy bly - nog steeds my kind

My kind!

Where Does the Time Go, My Baby?

Like the leaves of a tree that fall to the ground
And the wind comes to pick it up
The wind will take the leaf to the clouds
Until the rain falls down on it again

It's the circle of life, my child
It's a beautiful and pure thing
As one leaves us and moves on
The angels begin to sing again

Where does the time go, my baby?
You were young and you were shy
You were swept away by the wind of life
But my heart, you remain - still my child

Before my eyes you became a human
Played in the mud and kicked a ball
Like a plaster could heal your pain
You also learned with your heart - it's a different matter

We laughed together and cried together
Tried all the fashions - style after style
Your heart was broken and made whole again
In the pictures we laugh together
In the pictures we laugh together

Where does the time go, my baby?
You were young and you were shy
You were trapped in the wind of life
But my heart, you remain - still my child

And I wanted to protect you from the pain of life
But I knew you would learn your own lessons

Where does the time go, my baby?
You were young and you were shy
Then you were carried away by the wind of life
But my heart, you remain - my child!

Where does the time go, my baby?
You were young and you were shy
Then you were carried away by the wind of life
But my heart, you remain - still my child

My child!
