Текст и перевод песни Laurika Rauch - Winter

Winter

Die wêreld word weer deinserig
Die son se ronde-rooi-lemoen
Is afgeskil, skyn wit-oranjerig
Deur die gekaasdoekte seisoen

Die berge lê gebalsem, rug-aan-rug
Soos reuse dwerge, boggelrig gekis,
Bome bedien met skemer stug
Soos monnike die romerige mis

Alles word geheilig, kom tot rus
Die weerhaan op die kerktoring
Skrop nes, die sterre word geblus

Iewers aan die verste kus
Maak God in sy vakansiewoning
Die gordyne dig, gaan slaap gerus

Alles word geheilig, kom tot rus
Die weerhaan op die kerktoring
Skrop nes, die sterre word geblus

Iewers aan die verste kus
Maak God in sy vakansiewoning
Die gordyne dig, gaan slaap gerus
Gaan slaap gerus

Winter

The world is growing dizzy again
The sun's round-red-orange
Is peeled, shines white-orange
Through the cheesecloth season

The mountains lie embalmed, back-to-back
Like giant dwarves, hunchbacked and kissed,
Trees served with twilight stiff
Like monks the creamy mist

Everything becomes sacred, comes to rest
The weathercock on the church tower
Scrubs its nest, the stars are quenched

Somewhere on the farthest shore
God is making his holiday home
The curtains thick, goes to sleep peacefully

Everything becomes sacred, comes to rest
The weathercock on the church tower
Scrubs its nest, the stars are quenched

Somewhere on the farthest shore
God is making his holiday home
The curtains thick, goes to sleep peacefully
Goes to sleep peacefully
