Die Kaplyn(original) |
| Tussen bosse en bome |
| Tussen grense waar ons almal op more |
| Maar op agtien was ons almal verlore |
| Hoe kan ons verstaan? |
| En vir wie weeg nou ons lewe |
| Want net God alleen weet waaroor ons bewe |
| Want op agtien wou ons almal net lewe |
| Net een slag toe was jou lewe verby |
| Roep jy na my? |
| Roep jy my terug na die kaplyn my vriend? |
| Deur die jare het die wereld gedraai |
| Toe ons jonk was ho sou ons dit kon raai |
| Soek jy na my? |
| Soek jy my nou in die stof n jou bloed? |
| Jy’s gese jy hoor hoe God na jou roep |
| Toe’s dit alles verby |
| Na al hierdie jare |
| Ver verlore durf ons rond in ons dade |
| Met soldate leef met grense soos skare |
| Hoe kan ons verstaan? |
| Want daai bos vreet ons spore |
| In die donker bos as broeders gebore |
| In die donker saam gebid vir e more |
| Met een slag toe was jou lewe verby |
| Roep jy na my? |
| Roep jy my terug na die kaplyn my vriend? |
| Deur die jare het die wereld gedraai |
| Toe ons jonk was hoe sou ons dit kon raai |
| Waar is jy nou? |
| Is jou naam daarop ons mure behou? |
| Jy was nooit vereer en niemand gaan nou |
| Oor jou lewe skryf en wat jy nog wou |
| En by daai mure |
| Staan ek vir ure |
| Maar waar’s jou naam nou my vriend? |
| Kan hul nie verstaan |
| Jou soldate vergaan |
| Sonder rede dra hulle die blaam |
| Roep jy na my? |
| Roep jy my terug na die kaplyn my vriend? |
| Deur die jare het die wereld gedraai |
| Toe ons jonk was hoe sou ons dit kon raai |
| Waar is jy nou? |
| Is jou naam daarop ons mure behou? |
| Jy was nooit vereer en niemand gaan nou |
| Oor jou lewe skryf en wat jy nog wou |
| En by daai mure |
| Staan ek vir ure |
| En by daai mure |
| Staan ek vir ure |
| (translation) |
| Between forests and trees |
| Between borders where we all on tomorrow |
| But at eighteen we were all lost |
| How can we understand? |
| And for whom does our life now weigh |
| Because only God alone knows what we tremble over |
| Because at eighteen we all just wanted to live |
| Only once was your life over |
| Are you calling me? |
| Are you calling me back to the cut line my friend? |
| Over the years the world has turned |
| When we were young how could we guess |
| Are you looking for me? |
| Are you looking for me now in the dust n your blood? |
| You said you heard God calling to you |
| When it's all over |
| After all these years |
| Far lost we dare to wander in our deeds |
| With soldiers living with borders like crowds |
| How can we understand? |
| Because that forest eats our tracks |
| Born in the dark forest as brothers |
| Praying together in the dark for tomorrow |
| All of a sudden your life was over |
| Are you calling me? |
| Are you calling me back to the cut line my friend? |
| Over the years the world has turned |
| When we were young how could we guess |
| Where are you now? |
| Is your name on it retaining our walls? |
| You were never honored and no one is going now |
| Write about your life and what else you wanted |
| And by those walls |
| I stand for hours |
| But where's your name now my friend? |
| Can not understand them |
| Your soldiers perish |
| Without reason they bear the blame |
| Are you calling me? |
| Are you calling me back to the cut line my friend? |
| Over the years the world has turned |
| When we were young how could we guess |
| Where are you now? |
| Is your name on it retaining our walls? |
| You were never honored and no one is going now |
| Write about your life and what else you wanted |
| And by those walls |
| I stand for hours |
| And by those walls |
| I stand for hours |
