Soutwater(original) |
| ek is nou net soos n man, |
| gehawende ruiene waar daar eens lewe was. |
| huiden wie se luppe |
| op n plek op n tyd in joune kom verdwyn en weer bekeering kry, |
| die windpomp draai maar daar is niks, net stof in die krane |
| ek kort jou liefde om my dors te les want hier is net trane. |
| eke is dors ek raak verlore in die straate waar ek bly |
| eke is dors eke wil dronk raak op jou wyn. |
| maar hier waar ek bly is dit net |
| sout water en woestyn net sout water en woestyn |
| ek is nou nog net soos n man in n verlate, huis waar daar eens lewe was |
| nie n geval van same syn op n plek op n tyd |
| jy was my asem in die woestyn |
| die windpomp draai ek sukkel om te slaap, ek kort jou boesem om my kop te rus |
| hier is net klippe en sand |
| eke is dors ek raak verlore in die strate waar ek bly |
| eke is dors eke wil dronk raak op jou wyn maar hier waar ek bly is dit net sout |
| water en woestyn net sout water en woestyn. |
| is dit net sout water en woestyn. |
| eke is dors ek word verlore in die strate waar ek bly eke is dors ek wil dronk |
| raak op jou wyn. |
| (translation) |
| I'm just like a man now, |
| battered ruins where there was once life. |
| skins as they loupe |
| in a place at a time in yours come disappear and repent again, |
| the wind pump turns but there is nothing, just dust in the taps |
| I need your love to quench my thirst because here are just tears. |
| eke is thirsty i get lost in the streets where i live |
| eke is thirsty eke wants to get drunk on your wine. |
| but here where I live it's just |
| salt water and desert only salt water and desert |
| I'm still like a man in an abandoned house where there used to be life |
| not a case of being together in one place at a time |
| you were my breath in the desert |
| the windmill turns I struggle to sleep, I need your bosom to rest my head |
| here is only stones and sand |
| eke is thirsty i get lost in the streets where i live |
| eke is thirsty eke wants to get drunk on your wine but here where I live it's just salt |
| water and desert just salt water and desert. |
| is it just salt water and desert. |
| eke is thirsty i get lost in the streets where i live eke is thirsty i want to get drunk |
| touch on your wine. |
