Lyrics of Engel - Karen Zoid

Engel (original)

Ek het vriende wat ek sien
Ek is verslaaf aan nikotien
Ek hou van karre wat kan ry
Ek huil gewoonlik as ek baklei
Ek het gedink dat dit sou reen
Toe word ek stil en wag alleen
Tot jy kom klop het
Aan my deur
Ek het n dak bo-oor my kop
En in die winter like ek sop
Ek raak benoud wanneer jy luister
Net soos wanneer mense fluister
Ek wonder of jy sal onthou
Dat jou woorde aan my klou
As jy my insluk sonder om te kou
En ek skree 'n song vir jou my my lief
Bly nog n rukkie asseblief
Want as ek sing dan sing jy saam
In 'n droom roep ek jou naam
Ek is so dronk soos Koos Kombuis
Daar is geen swembad by my huis
My sussie bly in Potchefstroom
Die mense daar rook almal boom
Vier seisoene in jou traan
Hou my vas wanneer jy gaan
En ek weer alleen hier staan
So ek skree 'n song vir jou my lief
Jy is n engel en n dief
Want as ons sing
Dan sing ons saam
In n droom roep ek jou naam

(translation)

I have friends that I see
I am addicted to nicotine
I like cars that can drive
I usually cry when I fight
I thought it would rain
Then I became quiet and waited alone
Until you came knocking
To my door
I have a roof over my head
And in the winter I like soup
I get anxious when you listen
Just like when people whisper
I wonder if you will remember
That your words cling to me
If you swallow me without chewing
And I scream a song for you my love
Please stay a little longer
Because if I sing then you sing along
In a dream I call your name
I am as drunk as Koos Kombuis
There is no swimming pool at my house
My sister lives in Potchefstroom
The people there all smoke wood
Four seasons in your tear
Hold me when you go
And I stand here alone again
So I shout a song for you my love
You are an angel and a thief
Because if we sing
Then we sing together
In a dream I call your name
