Translation of the song lyrics Annatjie - Bobby Van Jaarsveld

Annatjie (original)

Ek sit en wonder wat van jou geword het is jy oraait want jy spook by my
Hoe kon ons dan so vinnig groot geword het dit voel dan net soos gister hier by
my
Die maan skyn so helder op hierdie stukkende bokskitaar,
Hoe kon ek jou vergeet het, want jy was altyd daar
Kom drink vanaand 'n koffie kom kuier weer by my
Soos in die ou dae as ons illegal met jou pa se kar gaan ry
Kom help my met daai lovesong wat ek nog klaar moet skryf
Oor die girl wat ons so mal gehad het ons het altyd oor Annatjie baklei
As jy sing het ek vir jou geluister al was jy vals was dit nogals mooi
En hoeveel keer moes ek antwoorde fluister en elke Maandag 'n nuwe verskoning
hoor
Die maan skyn so helder op hierdie stukkende bokskitaar,
Hoe kon ek jou vergeet het, want jy was altyd daar
Kom drink vanaand 'n koffie kom kuier weer by my
Soos in die ou dae as ons illegal met jou pa se kar gaan ry
Kom help my met daai lovesong wat ek nog klaar moet skryf
Oor die girl wat ons so mal gehad het ons het altyd oor Annatjie baklei
Dit was verkeerd maar ek sou alles oor wou hê
Ook die jaar toe die Hoërskool ons by die matriekafskeid weg sê
Kom drink vanaand 'n koffie kom kuier weer by my
Soos in die ou dae as ons illegal met jou pa se kar gaan ry
Kom help my met daai lovesong wat ek nog klaar moet skryf
Oor die girl wat ons so mal gehad het ons het altyd oor Annatjie baklei
Iemand stuur vir jou groete, dit is Annatjie sy sit hier langsaan my

Annatjie (translation)

I sit and wonder what happened to you, are you here because you are haunting me
How could we have grown up so fast it feels like yesterday here
me
The moon shines so bright on this broken box guitar,
How could I have forgotten you because you were always there
Come and have a coffee tonight, come visit me again
Like in the old days when we went to drive your father's car illegally
Come help me with that lovesong I have yet to finish writing
About the girl we were so crazy about, we always fought about Annatjie
When you sing I listened to you even if you were fake it was quite beautiful
And how many times I had to whisper answers and every Monday a new excuse
hear
The moon shines so bright on this broken box guitar,
How could I have forgotten you because you were always there
Come and have a coffee tonight, come visit me again
Like in the old days when we went to drive your father's car illegally
Come help me with that lovesong I have yet to finish writing
About the girl we were so crazy about, we always fought about Annatjie
It was wrong but I would have wanted everything left
Also the year when the High School said goodbye to us at the matric farewell
Come and have a coffee tonight, come visit me again
Like in the old days when we went to drive your father's car illegally
Come help me with that lovesong I have yet to finish writing
About the girl we were so crazy about, we always fought about Annatjie
Someone sends you greetings, it's Annatjie, she's sitting here next to me
