Ek is jammer
Adam Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

En ek slaap sleg sedert ek dood is waar die nag kom dou op my lyk
En ek soebat om vergifnis
Terwyl die aasvoëls vir my kyk

En ek’s al lankal dood saam met die cowboy flieks
Iewers in die maand van Mei
En ek loop nou saam met die manne
Soos Billy the Kid en Doc Holiday

En ek slaap sleg sedert ek dood is waar die nag kom dou op my lyk
En ek soebat om vergifnis
Terwyl die aasvoëls vir my kyk

En ek’s al lankal dood saam met die cowboy flieks
Iewers in die maand van Mei
En ek loop nou saam met die manne
Soos Billy the Kid en Doc Holiday

En ek slaap sleg sedert ek dood is waar die nag kom dou op my lyk
En ek soebat om vergifnis
Terwyl die aasvoëls vir my kyk

En ek’s al lankal dood saam met die cowboy flieks
Iewers in die maand van Mei




En ek loop nou saam met die manne
Soos Billy the Kid en Doc Holiday
