| Daar’s 'n plek wat ek van weet
| There's a place I know of
|
| Sonder sorge sonder pyn sonder leed
| Without worries without pain without pain
|
| Die pad daarheen is ongekaart
| The road to it is uncharted
|
| Die reis daarheen is sonder vaart
| The journey there is without speed
|
| En daar is rusplek langs die pad
| And there is resting place along the road
|
| Die son se geel word jou sambreel
| The sun's yellow becomes your umbrella
|
| Op jou reis tot waar die pad se vurk verdeel
| On your journey to where the road fork splits
|
| Die een se slingerspoor word dof
| One's slingshot becomes dull
|
| Waar dit wegloop in die stof
| Where it runs away in the dust
|
| Maar die ander lei tot hier
| But the others lead to here
|
| Want hier sal jy vind dat jy
| Because here you will find that you
|
| Steeds deur die oë van 'n kind
| Still through the eyes of a child
|
| Die lewenspel speel
| The game of life plays
|
| Granate van onskuld kan deel
| Grenades of innocence can share
|
| Om weer vir 'n oomblik
| To be back for a moment
|
| Die kennis van kwaad te ontken
| To deny the knowledge of evil
|
| Om weer te kan glo wat jy het in 'n gawe van bo
| To be able to believe again what you have in a gift from above
|
| Daar’s 'n winterlose oord
| There's a winterless resort
|
| Waar 'n mens nog steeds die ure ongestoord
| Where one still has the hours undisturbed
|
| Op die telraam van die tyd
| On the abacus of time
|
| Sonder spyt of klein verwyt
| Without regret or slight reproach
|
| Soos seisoene af kan tel
| As seasons can count down
|
| Knip jou deur se grendel dig
| Cut your door latch tight
|
| Sluit jou vensters en jou luike teen die lig
| Close your windows and shutters against the light
|
| Pak jou drome vir die reis
| Pack your dreams for the trip
|
| Jou hart sal jou die kronkels wys
| Your heart will show you the twists and turns
|
| Om ongeskonde hier te kom
| To get here unscathed
|
| Want hier sal jy vind dat jy
| Because here you will find that you
|
| Steeds deur die oë van 'n kind
| Still through the eyes of a child
|
| Die lewenspel speel
| The game of life plays
|
| Granate van onskuld kan deel
| Grenades of innocence can share
|
| Om weer vir 'n oomblik
| To be back for a moment
|
| Die kennis van kwaad te ontken
| To deny the knowledge of evil
|
| Om weer te kan glo wat jy het in 'n gawe van bo
| To be able to believe again what you have in a gift from above
|
| 'n gawe van bo
| a gift from above
|
| 'n gawe van bo | a gift from above |
