Lyrics
Nou kyk daar is geen verskoning
Vir alles wat ons doen
Doen ons maar net
Om iets van die hemel te proe
Sondaarsirkel en brandewynstraat
Dis baie waar, veral vanaand
Koor:
Maar vir jou sal ek nooit vergeet
Al woon jy nou
In 'n huis vol spoke en geeste
In 'n wit paleis
Mense met spierwit klere
Vir jou medisyne bring
Vergeet van gister, te naby
Aan die donkermaan
Nou kyk daar is geen verweer
Geen vals eis, alles wat ons begeer
Was maar altyd net 'n kamer met son
In 'n groot grys gebou
Koor
Cathy kom nooit weer huistoe
Miskien net vir Krismis of Nuwejaar
Moenie so baie praat nie
Slaan daai kitaar
Koor
Lyrics translation
Now look there is no excuse
For all that we do
We do but just
Something of heaven to taste
Sondaarsirkel and brandewynstraat
That's very true, especially tonight
Chorus:
But for you I will never forget
All do you live now
In a house full of ghosts and spirits
In a white palace
People with snow-white clothes
For your medicine bring
Forget about yesterday, to close
To the dark moon
Now look there is no defense
No false claim, all that we desire
Was but always just a room with sun
In a big gray building
Chorus
Cathy never come home again
Maybe just for Krismis or New year
Do not so many talk
Hitting that guitar
Chorus
