Lyrics of Kinders Van Die Wind - Mango Groove, Juanita Du Plessis

Kinders Van Die Wind (original)

Ek ken 'n ou, ou liedjie
Van lewenswel en wee
Van lank-vergane skepe in
Die kelders van die see
Die woorde is vergete
En tog, die deuntjie draal
Soos vaag-bekende grepies in
'n Baie ou verhaal
Swerwers sonder rigting
Soekers wat nooit vind
En eindelik was almal maar
Kinders van die wind
Gesigte, drome, name
Is deur die wind verwaai
En waarheen daardie woorde is
Sou net kind kon raai
Swerwers sonder rigting
Soekers wat nooit vind
En eindelik was almal maar
Kinders van die wind
Von swerwers sonder rigting
Von soekers wat nooit vind
En eindelik was almal maar
Kinders van die wind
En eindelik was almal maar
Net kinders van die wind
Kinders van die wind

(translation)

I know an old, old song
Of life's weal and woe
From long-gone ships in
The cellars of the sea
The words are forgotten
And yet, the tune drools
Like vaguely familiar gripes
A very old story
Wanderers without direction
Seekers who never find
And finally everyone was just
Children of the wind
Faces, dreams, names
Was blown by the wind
And where those words go
Only a child could guess
Wanderers without direction
Seekers who never find
And finally everyone was just
Children of the wind
Von wanderers without direction
Of seekers who never find
And finally everyone was just
Children of the wind
And finally everyone was just
Just children of the wind
Children of the wind
