Translation of the song lyrics Meisiekind - Juanita Du Plessis

Meisiekind (original)

Hierdie dag belangrik my lief
Die fotos in my hand 'n ope brief
Hier was jy nog in die gradeklas
Klein haasbekkie met handjies skoongewas
Hier’s jou kleinboet hy kon jou so pla
Geduld word mos van ma’s gevra
Hier jou matriekafskeidsdans
Jou rok so mooi, o sterreglans
Vandag is jou troudag my meisie
Jy word 'n vrou my kind
Mag vreugde groei deur die jare
Hierdie jou dag
Toekoms wat wag
My liefste, my meisiekind
Jy gaan weg dis soos die lewe is
My meisiekind ek sal jou baie mis
Daar is plek in ons familiekring
Vir hom wat jou vreugde bring
Meisiekind dis jou huweliksfees
Ek sal nie huil ek sal net vrolik wees
Hierdie more reeds pêrelgrou
Word wakker lief die toekoms wag vir jou
Vandag is jou troudag my meisie
Jy word 'n vrou my kind
Mag vreugde groei deur die jare
Hierdie jou dag
Toekoms wat wag
My liefste, my meisiekind

Meisiekind (translation)

This day important my love
The photos in my hand an open letter
Here you were still in the grade class
Little bunny with hands washed
Here's your little brother he could bother you like that
Patience is required of mothers
Here your matric farewell dance
Your dress so beautiful, oh star shine
Today is your wedding day my girl
You become a woman my child
May joy grow through the years
This is your day
Future waiting
My dearest, my girl child
You go away it's the way life is
My girl child I will miss you very much
There is room in our family circle
For him who brings you joy
Girl child it's your wedding party
I will not cry I will only be cheerful
This morning already pearl gray
Wake up love the future is waiting for you
Today is your wedding day my girl
You become a woman my child
May joy grow through the years
This is your day
Future waiting
My dearest, my girl child
