| Meisie wat haar potlood kou
| Girl chewing her pencil
|
| Dink bietjie te veel
| Think a little too much
|
| Dan snipper die verf af
| Then the paint chips off
|
| En gaan sit in haar keel,
| And sat down in her throat,
|
| Dit onderbreek haar dagdroom, Sy vergeet wat sy wou sê
| It interrupts her daydream, She forgets what she wanted to say
|
| Maar die meisie wat haar potlood kou
| But the girl who chews her pencil
|
| Weet wat sy wil hê
| Know what she wants
|
| As jou pad dalk sou kruis, met die meisie wat haar potlood kou
| If perhaps your path would cross, with the girl chewing her pencil
|
| Dan’s daar een ding wat jy moet weet
| Then there's one thing you need to know
|
| Dans’s daar een ding wat jy moet onthou
| Dans there's one thing you have to remember
|
| Sy ken jou dalk… alreeds
| She might know you… already
|
| Die meisie wat haar potlood kou, sê vir my sy huil nie
| The girl chewing her pencil tells me she's not crying
|
| Hoekom in trane?
| Why in tears?
|
| My oë is klaar blou
| My eyes are blue
|
| Ek huil sommer oor enige iets
| I just cry over anything
|
| En soms dink ek aan jou…
| And sometimes I think about you…
|
| As jou pad dalk sou kruis, met die meisie wat haar potlood kou
| If perhaps your path would cross, with the girl chewing her pencil
|
| Dan’s daar een ding wat jy moet weet
| Then there's one thing you need to know
|
| Dans’s daar een ding wat jy moet onthou
| Dans there's one thing you have to remember
|
| Sy ken jou dalk… alreeds
| She might know you… already
|
| Vyf paintings het jy geverf
| You have painted five paintings
|
| Jeff Buckley Halleluja
| Jeff Buckley Hallelujah
|
| Tot jy vir my 'n pel uitkerf
| Until you carve me a pelt
|
| As jou pad dalk sou kruis, met die meisie wat haar potlood kou
| If perhaps your path would cross, with the girl chewing her pencil
|
| Dan’s daar een ding wat jy moet weet
| Then there's one thing you need to know
|
| Dans’s daar een ding wat jy moet onthou
| Dans there's one thing you have to remember
|
| Sy ken jou dalk… alreeds | She might know you… already |
