Ek's Oppad
Brandon October Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tot die plek waar die son uithang
Met bicycle of met my ou ou kar
Of dalk die blou trein sal ek vang
Soos die jare verby is en ek groot word
Het die droom nooit ooit bedaar
Tot vandag toe wil ek steeds die langpad wat Want ek weet op my wag sy wag daar
Koor
Niks kan my die hierdie keer trughou
Eks oppad, ek sal nooit ophou... nie
Tyd en wyl ons twee weer saam is
Tot daardie dag, dis wat my plan is...hier
Niks kan my die hierdie keer trughou
Eks oppad, ek sal nooit ophou... nie
Tyd en wyl ons twee weer saam is
Tot daardie dag, dis wat my plan is...hier
Vers 2
In 'n dorpie se strate loop 'n mooi jong nooi
Ek dink dis jy en ek roep jou naam
Toe sy omdraai voel ek hoe my hartjie val
'n Ander vrou, nie jy, ek was so skaam
Na ontbyt, pak my goed, eks weer op die pad
'n Klein gebed, O Here gee my krag
Want eendag is eendag dan sal ek wees
By die plek waar sy staan en wag
Koor
Vers 3
Vanaand as die paaie so stil stil is
Is ek sak en pak uit die deur
Ek weet my liefste wag al my lewe lank
Ek sal die rys maak hierdie keer
By Franshoek se stasie soos die trein in kom
Deur die stoom wat die trein uitblaas
Sien ek jou sit en wag vir die tyd dat ons
Bietjie saam is vir oulaas

Van kleinsaf droom ek van ver ver ry
Since I was young, I have always dreamed of travelling far away
Tot die plek waar die son uithang
To the place where the sun sets
Met bicycle of met my ou ou kar
On a bicycle or in my old car
Of dalk die blou trein sal ek vang
Or maybe I will catch the blue train
Soos die jare verby is en ek groot word
As the years go by and I get older
Het die droom nooit ooit bedaar
The dream has never faded
Tot vandag toe wil ek steeds die langpad wat
Until today, I still want to take the long road
Want ek weet op my wag sy wag daar
Because I know that she is waiting for me there
Niks kan my die hierdie keer trughou
Nothing can stop me this time
Eks oppad, ek sal nooit ophou... nie
I am on my way, I will never stop
Tyd en wyl ons twee weer saam is
Until the time we are together again
Tot daardie dag, dis wat my plan is...hier
That is my plan until that day... here
In 'n dorpie se strate loop 'n mooi jong nooi
In the streets of a small town, a beautiful young girl walks
Ek dink dis jy en ek roep jou naam
I think it's you and I call your name
Toe sy omdraai voel ek hoe my hartjie val
When she turns around, I feel my heart drop
'n Ander vrou, nie jy, ek was so skaam
Another woman, not you, I was so ashamed
Na ontbyt, pak my goed, eks weer op die pad
After breakfast, I pack my things, I am on the road again
'n Klein gebed, O Here gee my krag
A small prayer, Oh Lord, give me strength
Want eendag is eendag dan sal ek wees
Because one day is one day, and I will be there
By die plek waar sy staan en wag
At the place where she stands and waits
Vanaand as die paaie so stil stil is
Tonight, when the roads are so quiet
Is ek sak en pak uit die deur
I am packing my bags at the door
Ek weet my liefste wag al my lewe lank
I know that my love has been waiting for me all my life
Ek sal die rys maak hierdie keer
I will make the journey this time
By Franshoek se stasie soos die trein in kom
At Franshoek station, as the train arrives
Deur die stoom wat die trein uitblaas
Through the steam that the train blows out
Sien ek jou sit en wag vir die tyd dat ons
I see you sitting and waiting for the time that we
Bietjie saam is vir oulaas
Can be together for the last time
