Текст и перевод песни Theuns Jordaan - Skaakspel (Live)

Skaakspel (Live)

Dis die raaisel van die skaakspel
Met die uurglas wat die tyd tel
Die koning stuur kastele
Die perde kry bevele
En die koningin baklei

Gooi jou kaarte op die tafel
Laat jou dobbelsteen maar val
Die pionne uitgepak
Die wit vlag laat sak
Elke troefkaart in skaakmat

(Koor)
Silver die skoonheid raak oud maar ons voer nog die oorlog
Ons weet die liefde weeg swaarder as goud maar die skote klap nog
My liefling laat sak jou vuiste en hou my hart as gyselaar
Lê neer al jou wapens deur hierdie oorlog sal ek jou dra

Daar's geheime in die legkaart
Daar's besluite by die kruispad
Die wolwe van die skape skei die jakksls uit die wingerd kry
En vir jou en my baklei

Daar's twee kante van die weegskaal
En n koers om te bepaal
Daar's 'n kompas as ons wegraak
'N anker as dit rofraak
So is ons vir mekaar gemaak

Koor

Elke treë van die pad jou op my hande dra
Jou deur hierde storms vat as die donder weer val sal ons staan

Koor

So lê neer al jou wapens ek sal jou deur hierdie oorlog dra

Chess Game (Live)

This is the riddle of the chess game
With the hourglass counting the time
The king commands castles
The knights receive orders
And the queen fights

Throw your cards on the table
Let your dice fall
The pawns are deployed
The white flag is lowered
Every trump card in checkmate

(Chorus)
Silver, beauty grows old, but we're still waging war
We know love weighs more than gold, but the shots are still being fired
My darling, drop your fists and hold my heart hostage
Lay down all your weapons, I will carry you through this war

There are secrets in the puzzle
There are decisions at the crossroads
The wolves from the sheep, the jackals from the vineyard
And for you and me, fight

There are two sides to the scale
And a course to set
There's a compass when we get lost
An anchor when it gets rough
That's how we were made for each other

Chorus

Every step of the way, carry you in my arms
Take you through these storms, when the thunder strikes again, we will stand

Chorus

So lay down all your weapons, I will carry you through this war
