Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Anna, daar's niemand soos jy
Anna, waar is jy nou?
Anna, ek lewe net vir jou ...
Annatjie, dink jy daar's hoop vir ons?
Sal jy ophou om met my hart te mors?
Sal jy met my trou, en Anna, my kindertjies kry?
'n Mens soos jy moet net die beste kry
As iemand dit kry, hoop ek Anna, dis iemand soos jy
Anna, sal jy by my bly?
Anna, daar's niemand soos jy
Anna, waar is jy nou?
Anna, ek lewe net vir jou ...
'n Mens verander die liefde nooit
As ek 'n blink muntstuk in die wensput gooi
In gedagte vir jou, ja Anna, ek wens jy was hier
Eendag sal ek vir Annatjie kry
Sy sal myne wees, altyd aan my sy
Want iewers is daar 'n Anna, ja selfs ook vir my
Anna, sal jy by my bly?
Anna, daar's niemand soos jy
Anna, waar is jy nou?
Anna, ek lewe net vir jou ...
Anna, sal jy by my bly?
Anna, daar's niemand soos jy
Anna, waar is jy nou?
Anna, ek lewe net vir jou
Anna, sal jy by my bly?
Anna, daar's niemand soos jy
Anna, waar is jy nou?
Anna, ek lewe net vir jou
In Blackie Swart's song "Anna," the singer is asking a woman named Anna to stay with him. He proclaims that there is no one like her, and he lives only for her. He asks her if she thinks there is hope for them, if she will stop playing with his heart, and if she will marry him and bear their children. He acknowledges that someone like her deserves the best but says that there is still something good in him, and if anyone can bring it out, it's Anna. He also mentions that love cannot be changed, and he wishes Anna was with him. He ends the song by repeating his plea for Anna to stay with him, as he lives only for her.
