Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everyone calls her pretty Belinda
Went to the boathouse down by the river
Just for a look at pretty Belinda
All of my loving wanted to give her
Soon as I saw her, pretty Belinda
Lived in a boathouse down by the river
Her eyes were exciting, her hair it was golden
Her lips were inviting, my heart she's stolen
Now we're together, me and my 'Linda
Now and forever, me and my 'Linda
She lived in a boathouse down by the river
Everyone calls her pretty Belinda
Went to the boathouse down by the river
Just for a look at pretty Belinda
Lived on a boathouse down by the river
Everyone calls her pretty Belinda
Went to the boathouse down by the river
Just for a look at pretty Belinda
Now I have wed her, my pretty Belinda
That's where I said yeah, my pretty Belinda
She gave her heart and she made me a promise
We'll never part, for Belinda is honest
She lived in a boathouse down by the river
Everyone calls her pretty Belinda
We live in a boathouse down by the river
Me and my wife called pretty Belinda

on Deur Die Jare Heen
My liefste kom na my
Kom sit hier aan my sy
En neem my hand
Om dit styf vas te hou want dit is so koud
Maar in my hart is jy
Warm en lief vir my
Ons twee was altyd een
Deur die jare heen
Jy was maar altyd hier en by my sal jy bly
En so op jou stil manier is jy lief vir my
So was dit al die tyd en so sal dit wees
Net jy alleen vir my deur die jare heen
Die tyd gaan so gou verby en nou is ons oud
Maar steeds is jy naby
Om my hand vas te hou want dit is so koud
Maar in my hart is jy
Warm en lief vir my
Ons twee was altyd een
Deur die jare heen
Jy was maar altyd hier by my sal jy bly
En so op jou stil manier is jy lief vir my
So was dit al die tyd en so sal dit wees
Net jy alleen vir my deur die jare heen
Net jy alleen vir my deur die jare heen
Sundy morning coming down
on Wat Nou
Bles Bridges
