SOS
Appel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Stemme wat vrot van die verlange
Hy maak 'it stil met ‘n laaste sluk van water
Vuil water
Whisky en water
‘n Laaste trek van sigaret wat in die lug verdwyn
Kool en as maak ‘n lig wat om sy vinger skyn
Verdoof dit nou met wyn
Ons gaan nou saam baklei
Gaan ons opstaan vir ‘n laaste keer en soos een man
Deur die kettings breek ja yster slyp yster broers vorm mekaar
Come hell or high water my broer ek is daar
Ek is so bly jy glo my kind
So bly jy glo my kind
Jy praat van die dae die dae daar in Baanstabel Straat
Hoe jou BMX se speke en die koning van harte kon praat
Jou kettie was jou roer
In jou harte stoere boer
Jy het geglo soos ‘n kind
Ek's so bly jy glo my vrind
Gaan ons opstaan vir ‘n laaste keer en soos een man
Deur die kettings breek ja yster slyp yster broers vorm mekaar
Come hell or high water my broer ek is daar
Ek is so bly jy glo my kind
So bly jy glo my kind
Gaan ons opstaan vir ‘n laaste keer en soos een man
Deur die kettings breek ja yster slyp yster broers vorm mekaar
Come hell or high water my broer ek is daar
Ek is so bly jy glo my kind
So bly jy glo my kind

Daar is stemme wat praat in sy gange
There are voices that whisper in his mind
Stemme wat vrot van die verlange
Voices that decay from the longing
Hy maak 'it stil met ‘n laaste sluk van water
He silences them with a last sip of dirty water
Vuil water
Dirty water
Whisky en water
Whiskey and water
‘n Laaste trek van sigaret wat in die lug verdwyn
One last drag of cigarette that disappears into the air
Kool en as maak ‘n lig wat om sy vinger skyn
Embers and ash illuminate around his finger
Ek weet hy het nog pyn
I know he still has pain
Verdoof dit nou met wyn
Numb it now with wine
Ons gaan nou saam baklei
We're going to fight together now
Gaan ons opstaan vir ‘n laaste keer en soos een man
Will we rise up for one last time and stand together
Deur die kettings breek ja yster slyp yster broers vorm mekaar
Breaking through the chains, iron sharpens iron, brothers forming each other
Come hell or high water my broer ek is daar
Come hell or high water my brother, I am there
Ek is so bly jy glo my kind
I'm so glad you believe me, friend
Jy praat van die dae die dae daar in Baanstabel Straat
You talk of the days, the days in Baanstabel Street
Hoe jou BMX se speke en die koning van harte kon praat
How your BMX's spokes and the king of hearts could talk
Jou kettie was jou roer
Your slingshot was your steering wheel
In jou harte stoere boer
In your heart, a proud farmer
Jy het geglo soos ‘n kind
You believed like a child
Ek's so bly jy glo my vrind
I'm so glad you believe me, friend
Gaan ons opstaan vir ‘n laaste keer en soos een man
Will we rise up for one last time and stand together
Deur die kettings breek ja yster slyp yster broers vorm mekaar
Breaking through the chains, iron sharpens iron, brothers forming each other
Come hell or high water my broer ek is daar
Come hell or high water my brother, I am there
Ek is so bly jy glo my kind
I'm so glad you believe me, friend
So bly jy glo my kind
So glad you believe me, friend
