Translation of the song lyrics Vertel My - Bobby Van Jaarsveld

Vertel My (original)

Ek wens ek kon vandag antwoorde kry
Want die vrae brand soos vuur hier binne my
Ek wens ek kon vandag die rede weet
Dan sou ek dalk 'n stukkie van dit vergeet
Want hoe kan ek aangaan hoe kan ek voortgaan
As ek dit nie weet, want ek voel alleen hier
Ek het seer hier, dit is my donker uur
Vertel my dit sal wees soos ons in stories lees
Dat alles net sal uitwerk vir die goed
Vertel my dis okay, iemand is daar vir my
En eendag sal ek ook die antwoord leer
Maar vir nou het ek seer
'n Halwe woord sal ook 'n troosting gee
Want hier is ek, ek veg hier op my knieë
En wie sal ooit die regte woorde kry
Want niemand weet wat dra ek binne my
Want hoe kan ek aangaan hoe kan ek voortgaan
As ek dit nie weet, want ek voel alleen hier
Ek het seer hier, dit is my donker uur
Vertel my dit sal wees soos ons in stories lees
Dat alles net sal uitwerk vir die goed
Vertel my dis okay, iemand is daar vir my
En eendag sal ek ook die antwoord leer
Maar vir nou het ek seer
Al wat ek vra is vir 'n redelike antwoord
Want ek hou aan stry teen die ongeloof die seer hier binne my

Vertel My (translation)

I wish I could get answers today
Because the questions burn like fire here inside me
I wish I could know the reason today
Then I would maybe forget a piece of it
Because how can I go on how can I go on
If I don't know because I feel alone here
I'm hurting here, this is my dark hour
Tell me it will be like we read in stories
That everything will only work out for the good
Tell me it's okay, someone is there for me
And one day I will learn the answer too
But for now I am hurt
Half a word will also give a consolation
Because here I am, I'm here on my knees fighting
And who will ever find the right words
Because no one knows what I carry inside me
Because how can I go on how can I go on
If I don't know because I feel alone here
I'm hurting here, this is my dark hour
Tell me it will be like we read in stories
That everything will only work out for the good
Tell me it's okay, someone is there for me
And one day I will learn the answer too
But for now I am hurt
All I ask is for a reasonable answer
Because I continue to fight against the unbelief the hurt here inside me
