Текст и перевод песни Lucas Maree - Victoriabaai

Victoriabaai

Kyk hoe sluit die son die hemel oop
Kyk hoe wyk die nag, voor die dag.
Kyk hoe word die see in goud gedoop
Kyk hoe bloos die strand, vol van hoop
Gedagtes vat my soos 'n kolk wat draai
Deur die newels na Victoriabaai.
Waar die branders in die skuim rond waai
Styg my hart tot waar die seemeeu draai.
Refrein
Ai ai ai ai ai ai ai
Ai ek wens ek was nou daar -
Ai ai ai ai ai ai ai
Op my kliptroon by Victoriabaai

Daar kan ek nog soms my siel oop knoop;
Daar verdwyn die nag en word dit dag.
Daar kan ek my kop van kommer stroop
Op my rots, my troon, vind ek hoop.
Refrein x 2

Einde

Victoriabaai

Look how the sun opens the heavens wide
Look how the night gives way to the day.
Look how the sea is bathed in gold
Look how the beach blushes, full of hope
Thoughts take me like a whirlpool that turns
Through the mists to Victoriabaai.
Where the waves froth and foam around
My heart rises to where the seagull turns.
Chorus
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh I wish I was there -
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
On my rock throne at Victoriabaai

There I can still sometimes untie my soul;
There the night disappears and it becomes day.
There I can rid my head of worries
On my rock, my throne, I find hope.
Chorus x 2
