Текст и перевод песни Refentse - Melans Mnel

Melans Mnel

Ek onthou nog daardie maande
Van biltong kou en groen lande
Het jou gereën [?] waar jou beeste wy
Van somerliefde of soet turksvy

Ek onthou nog jou glimlag
Jou nimmer sorge en skaterlag
So ek skryf nou hierdie briefie aan jou
Maar ek lees hom self, want die waarheid is flou

Hoeveel keer versuim om te sê
Wat op die tafels van my hart lê
Hier staan ek nou met my hart teen die mou
Seker dat ek van jou hou

Maar hei weer Melans Mnel
Jy was eens my beste pel
Jy kan seker nie onthou nie
So dis beter as ek net vertel
So dis beter as ek net vertel

Ek hoor sy't toe 'n deksel gekry
Maar dit [?] was nie mooi nie want sy hoort mos by my
Maar ek wens vir hom 'n blikkitaar
Met sewe snare vol liefde vir haar
Sodat die kamers van haar hartjie kan sing
Liedere wat vrede en vreugde bring

Hoeveel keer versuim om te sê
Wat op die tafels van my hart lê
Hier staan ek nou met my hart teen die mou
Seker dat ek van jou hou

Maar hei weer Melans Mnel
Jy was eens my beste pel
Jy kan seker nie onthou nie
So dis beter as ek net vertel

Sy's die wêreld waaiend [?] my woorde in die warrel van die wind
Dieselfde wind van Koos se kinders of selfs 'n warrel minder
Sy het liefde vir die liedere, sy het liefde word gebou
Sy't liefde tot die honderde, sy het liefde wat kan klou
Sy is romantiek, die romantikus
Sy verbeter die eetlus van my hartskat se kis
Sy is die revolusie wat rebelleer en romantiseer
Roekeloos onder die invloed van ruk-en-rol
Oh my soul

Hoeveel keer versuim om te sê
Wat op die tafels van my hart lê
Hier staan ek nou met my hart teen die mou
Seker dat ek van jou hou

Maar hei weer Melans Mnel
Jy was eens my beste pel
Jy kan seker nie onthou nie
Jy kan seker nie onthou nie

Hoeveel keer versuim om te sê
Wat op die tafels van my hart lê
Hier staan ek nou met my hart teen die mou
Seker dat ek van jou hou

Maar hei weer Melans Mnel
Jy was eens my beste pel
Jy kan seker nie onthou nie
So dis beter as ek net vertel

So ek gaan jou maar vertel
So dis beter as ek net vertel

Melans Mnel

I remember those months
Of biltong cold and green countries
It rained [?] where your cattle were thin
Of summer love or sweet Turkish figs

I remember your smile
Your never-ending worries and infectious laughter
So I'm writing this letter to you now
But I'll read it myself, because the truth is faint

How many times have we failed to say
What lies on the tables of my heart
Here I stand now with my heart against my sleeve
Sure that I love you

But hey, Melans Mnel
You were once my best friend
You probably can't remember
So it's better if I just tell you
So it's better if I just tell you

I hear she's found a lid
But it [?] wasn't good because she belongs with me
But I wish him a tin can
With seven strings full of love for her
So that the chambers of her heart can sing
Songs that bring peace and joy

How many times have we failed to say
What lies on the tables of my heart
Here I stand now with my heart against my sleeve
Sure that I love you

But hey, Melans Mnel
You were once my best friend
You probably can't remember
So it's better if I just tell you

She's the world blowing [?] my words in the swirl of the wind
The same wind of Koos' children or even a less swirl
She has love for the songs, she has love to build
She has love for the hundreds, she has love that can cling
She is romance, the romantic
She improves the appetite of my sweetheart's chest
She's the revolution that rebels and romanticizes
Reckless under the influence of rock and roll
Oh my soul

How many times have we failed to say
What lies on the tables of my heart
Here I stand now with my heart against my sleeve
Sure that I love you

But hey, Melans Mnel
You were once my best friend
You probably can't remember
You probably can't remember

How many times have we failed to say
What lies on the tables of my heart
Here I stand now with my heart against my sleeve
Sure that I love you

But hey, Melans Mnel
You were once my best friend
You probably can't remember
So it's better if I just tell you

So I'm going to tell you
So it's better if I just tell you
