Perfek Vir My
Adam Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Jy was my rock ‘n roll Gucci jeans ek het jou verlei met jelly beans
Onthou jy daai aand onder die sterre op die plaas?
Jy was die middelste ster van Orion se belt ons het swaar getrek daar was bitter min geld
Maar ek en jy was so verskriklik verlief

Maar ek hoor jou songs op die radio en sien jou gesig op ‘n TV show
En dan verlang ek my so dood na jou
So dood na jou

Ek kon skaars aan jou vat want jy
Was te beautiful vir my
Ja ek kon skaars aan jou vat want jy
Was te beautiful vir my

Ek sou vir jou ‘n ster uit die Melkweg pluk
En saam met wilde daisies in ‘n mandjie sit
Al was dit net ‘n rukkie al was dit net ‘n stukkie van jou

Maar ons kruisies was lank reeds getrek in daai boek
So seker soos die herfs ons met koper groet
Ons kruise word ons kluise wat ons toevou in tyd

Maar ek sal jou weer eendag op die highway sien tussen Bethlehem en Siodien
Cheers vir nou ek sien jou by die boom
O ek sien jou by die boom

Ek kon skaars aan jou vat want jy
Was te beautiful vir my
Ja ek kon skaars aan jou vat want jy
Was te beautiful vir my

Ek kon skaars aan jou vat want jy
Was te beautiful vir my




Ek kon skaars aan jou vat want jy
Was te beautiful vir my

Overall Meaning

The song "Te Beautiful vir My" by Adam Tas is a heartfelt ballad about a love that couldn't quite make it due to insecurities and societal norms. The song starts off in a nostalgic tone, reminiscing about the days when the couple was young and in love. The first few lines convey a sense of youthful rebellion and excitement, as the singer reminisces about how he seduced the girl with jelly beans and they spent nights under the stars on a rural farm. But as the song progresses, it becomes clear that they grew apart due to the girl's beauty and success, and the boy's feelings of inadequacy. The chorus repeats the line "Ek kon skaars aan jou vat want jy was te beautiful vir my", which means "I could barely hold onto you because you were too beautiful for me". The song ends on a hopeful note, with the singer looking forward to possibly running into the girl again one day and raising a glass to their memories.


This song speaks to the universal theme of insecurity in relationships, particularly when one partner feels that they are not good enough for the other due to societal pressures or cultural expectations. It also touches on the eternal hope that love can be rekindled, even after long periods of separation or personal growth.


Line by Line Meaning

Jy was my rock ‘n roll Gucci jeans ek het jou verlei met jelly beans
You were my fancy and attractive lover who I seduced with simple things


Onthou jy daai aand onder die sterre op die plaas?
Do you remember that night under the stars on the farm?


Jy was die middelste ster van Orion se belt ons het swaar getrek daar was bitter min geld
You were the shining star in my life when times were tough and money was scarce


Maar ek en jy was so verskriklik verlief
But you and I were so incredibly in love


Maar ek hoor jou songs op die radio en sien jou gesig op ‘n TV show
But now I hear your songs on the radio and see your face on TV shows


En dan verlang ek my so dood na jou
And then I long for you so much that it feels like I'm dead


So dood na jou
So dead for you


Ek kon skaars aan jou vat want jy Was te beautiful vir my
I could barely hold onto you because you were too beautiful for me


Ek sou vir jou ‘n ster uit die Melkweg pluk En saam met wilde daisies in ‘n mandjie sit Al was dit net ‘n rukkie al was dit net ‘n stukkie van jou
I would have picked a star from the Milky Way for you and sat with wild daisies in a basket for even just a little piece of you


Maar ons kruisies was lank reeds getrek in daai boek So seker soos die herfs ons met koper groet Ons kruise word ons kluise wat ons toevou in tyd
But our paths were already written in that book, just like we greet the autumn with copper. Our crosses become our safes that we close in time


Maar ek sal jou weer eendag op die highway sien tussen Bethlehem en Siodien Cheers vir nou ek sien jou by die boom O ek sien jou by die boom
But one day I'll see you again on the highway between Bethlehem and Siodien. Cheers for now, I see you by the tree. Oh, I see you by the tree
