Lyrics
Hey daar welkom terug ons het jou lank genoeg gemis
Was dit alleen daar? Was daar kleur daar?
Of was dit swart en wit
Was dit, ongeskik
Was dit alleen daar? Was daar kleur daar?
Dankie Here dat u opgetel het
Amal het doodgedruk
Eks alleen, dis middernag
En almal is ongeskik
Dis donker en die donderweer slaan
Dit reën alweer vannag
Ek het bietjie vêr gestap
Opsoek na bietjie krag
Aan die diepkant van die swembad
Is ek opsoek na bietjie lug
Ek probeer oorstap maar daars gate in my brug
Ek verloor alweer 'n klein-klein stukkie van my hart
As ek keer op keer totsiens sê
En strukkies bind om smart
Maar daars pyn diep daar onder
Onder al my skille
En daars wyn vir wegsteek en sakkies vol van pille
So ek sit maar trug en nog vat 'n slukkie vir die pyn
Want waar ek waak in die naglug sal die pyn gou verdwyn
Dis skemer in my woorde en middernag in my vers
Ek dans saam met spoke om die flikkers van 'n kers
In 'n modderdam vol onssin sit 'n seun en skep nog pap
Sonsondergange wat iets werd is vat 'n tydjie om na te stap
Daars pyle in my boog en vele vere in my hoed
Maar die seile van my sielskip
Is deur gewere bebloed
Daar is stof op die horison en klippe in die pad
Maar as ek stop en soek vir water
Sal dit dalk verby my stap
Hey daar welkom terug ons het jou lank genoeg gemis
Was dit alleen daar? Was daar kleur daar?
Of was dit swart en wit
Was dit, ongeskik
Was dit alleen daar? Was daar kleur daar?
Ek is bleikbaar klaar verlos deur drippels op my kop
Maar my hande voel gebonde en ek sukkel om te stop
Die kooltjies van my entjies verbrand klaar my tyd
En die voëltjies by my venster het al lankal ophou fluit
My klere is in bondels en daars niemand wat wil stryk
En die duiwel op my grondpad met haar blond gedyede pruik
Haar vingernaels is skerp en bloedrooi mooi gepaint
En haar hande wat soos slange lyk het my lankal klaar gegryp
Die meisie met die vlekke en stories oor ou smart
Het my weg laat kryp en neergegooi met snye in my hart
Ek was verkeerd gewees ek weet wit-leuntjies is nie reg nie
Maar ek het voort gebeur aangehou geen meer washouplek nie
Ons leer mos so raak groot probeer ons net ons bes
En in die asbakkies van verkeerde keuses leer ons mos ons les
Daar is pyn in elke oogwink en stories in elke kreukel
Daar verskyn altyd duiwels in elke kombers wat ek heukel
Daar verdwyn nog gedagtes met elke trekjie van 'n stok
Verduidelik altyd verder as iemand wil kom klop
Op die voorstoep van verlede is daar koffie aan die brou
In die voorskote van tannies is daar Wilson toffies net vir jou
Maar draai sal hulle draai en voor lank is jy ook oud
Wat jy saai sal jy maai en die donkerte is koud
Eks gesit op hierdie kersboom om die land 'n wenk te gee
Daar is al lankal nie meer tyd nie so hou op om om te gee
Hey daar welkom terug ons het jou lank genoeg gemis
Was dit alleen daar? Was daar kleur daar?
Of was dit swart en wit
Was dit, ongeskik
Was dit alleen daar? Was daar kleur daar?
Hey daar welkom terug ons het jou lank genoeg gemis
Was dit alleen daar? Was daar kleur daar?
Of was dit swart en wit
Was dit, ongeskik
Was dit alleen daar? Was daar kleur daar?
Lyrics translation
Hey there welcome back we took you long enough missed
It Was alone there? There Was color there?
Or was it black and white
It Was, unfit
It Was alone there? There Was color there?
Thank you Lord that you picked up
Amal has stubbed
Ex alone, it's midnight
And everyone is rude
It's dark and the thunder hitting
It rains again tonight
I have a little far walked
Looking for a bit of strength
To the deep end of the pool
I am looking for a little air
I try to step over but there's holes in my bridge
I lost again a little-little piece of my heart
If I have time and time again goodbye say
And strukkies bound to smart
But there's pain deep down there under
Among all my peels
And there's wine for hiding and bags full of pills
So I sit but god, and still take a sip for the pain
Because where I watch in the night sky will be the pain soon disappeared
It's twilight in my words and midnight in my verse
I dance with ghosts to the queers of a candle
In a modderdam full onssin put a boy and creating another puncture
Sunsets that are worth something takes a while to step
There's arrows in my bow and many feathers in my hat
But the sails of my sielskip
By guns bloodied
There is dust on the horizon and stones in the road
But if I stop and search for water
It may have passed my step
Hey there welcome back we took you long enough missed
It Was alone there? There Was color there?
Or was it black and white
It Was, unfit
It Was alone there? There Was color there?
I'm bleikbaar finished redeemed by drippels on my head
But my hands felt bound and I struggle to stop
The kooltjies of my entjies burned finished my time
And the birdies at my window have all long since quit whistling
My clothes are in bundles and there's no one who wants to smooth
And the devil on my dirt road with her blonde gedyede wig
Her fingernails are sharp and crimson pretty gepaint
And her hands like snakes seems to have my long since finished grabbed
The girl with the stains and stories about old smart
Took me away let kryp and threw down with cuts in my heart
I was wrong have been I know white-leuntjies is not right
But I have continue to happen kept no more washouplek not
We learn moss become so big we try only our best
And in the ashtrays of wrong choices teach us mos us lesson
There is pain in every blink of an eye and stories in every crease
There appears to always demons in every blanket that I heukel
There disappear still thoughts with each trekjie of a stick
Always explain further if someone wants to come knocking
On the doorstep of past is there coffee at the brew
In the aprons of aunts are there Wilson toffees just for you
But turn they will turn and before long you're too old
What you sow you will reap and the darkness is cold
Ex sat on this christmas tree to the country a tip to give
There is all long overdue no more time so hold on to to give
Hey there welcome back we took you long enough missed
It Was alone there? There Was color there?
Or was it black and white
It Was, unfit
It Was alone there? There Was color there?
Hey there welcome back we took you long enough missed
It Was alone there? There Was color there?
Or was it black and white
It Was, unfit
It Was alone there? There Was color there?
