Lyrics of As Musiek Begin Speel - Karen Zoid

As Musiek Begin Speel (original)

Hulle sê ons moet glo
net soos die kinders
So is hierdie lewe dan net vir beginners?
Seuntjies word manne
en gaan sit dan in 'n kroeg
en lyk moeg
My seun, jy moet luister as ek vir jou sê
jy gaan eendag moet veg
met als wat jy het
Soms gaan jy voel
wat is die doel
Genoeg is genoeg
Ek wil hê jy moet saam sing
as musiek begin speel
en dans in die somer se reën
En soek vir die reënboog
langs die pad, my skat
Hardloop in die see in met jou jeans aan
Kyk uit vir 'n meermin
en deel in gesprekke oor al die mooi plekke
langs die kus
Bly bewus van jouself
Net nie te veel nie
ook nie te min nie
Maar net nie te veel nie
Ek wil hê jy moet saam sing
as musiek begin speel
En dans in die somer se reën
En soek vir die reënboog
langs die pad, my skat
En as jy ooit voel
die lewe is net een groot gesuffer
reik jou hande uit en help 'n ander
met minder as jy
Gaan maak iemand bly
want dan sal jy
altyd kan saam sing
as die musiek begin speel
En dans in die somer se reën
En soek vir die reënboog
langs die pad, my skat
Hardloop die see in met jou jeans aan
Kyk uit vir 'n meermin
En as jy haar vind
is ek bly my kind
want ek weet
twee dromers is beter as een
ek wil he jy moet saam sing
ek wil he jy moet saam sing
ek wil he jy moet saam sing
my kind

(translation)

They say we have to believe
just like the children
So is this life only for beginners?
Boys become men
and then sit down in a bar
and looks tired
My son, you must listen when I tell you
you are going to have to fight one day
with all you have
Sometimes you're going to feel
what is the purpose
Enough is enough
I want you to sing along
as music starts playing
and dance in the summer rain
And look for the rainbow
by the way, my darling
Run into the ocean with your jeans on
Look out for a mermaid
and share in conversations about all the beautiful places
along the coast
Stay aware of yourself
Just not too much
not too little either
But just not too much
I want you to sing along
as music starts playing
And dance in the summer rain
And look for the rainbow
by the way, my darling
And if you ever feel
life is just one big struggle
reach out and help another
with less than you
Go make someone happy
because then you will
can always sing along
as the music starts playing
And dance in the summer rain
And look for the rainbow
by the way, my darling
Run into the ocean with your jeans on
Look out for a mermaid
And if you find her
I am happy my child
because I know
two dreamers are better than one
I want you to sing along
I want you to sing along
I want you to sing along
my child
