Engel
Brandon October Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Volg die paaie van my hart wat hierna lei
Die donker koue ure gaan verby
Net jou gedagte wat hier is, wat bly
Koor
Soms as ek alleen is In die stilte van die nag
Dink ek aan 'n lewe
Toe ek jou nog kon hoor lag
Ek weet die tyd kom nader
Ek sien uit na die dag
Nou sien ek in my drome
Daar staan 'n engel wat wag
Nou sien ek in my drome
Daar staan 'n engel wat wag
Vers 2
Tussen al die stemme pratend in my oor
Die musiek in jou stem het my getoor
Ons loop die lange pad saam niemand voor
Druk jou teen my lyf vas kan jy hoor
Koor
Soms as ek alleen is
In die stilte van die nag
Dink ek aan 'n lewe
Toe ek jou nog kon hoor lag
Ek weet die tyd kom nader
Ek sien uit na die dag Nou sien ek in my drome
Daar staan 'n engel wat wag
Nou sien ek in my drome
Daar staan 'n engel wat wag
Vers 2
Jou eggo leef nog aan in ons kind
Al ons liefde word geken en daar gevind Jou oope hart en meine vas gebind
Vir ewig en verlatyd sweef soos die wind
Koor x2

Dae kom en gaan met wolk versprei
Days come and go with scattered clouds
Volg die paaie van my hart wat hierna lei
Follow the paths of my heart, leading me here
Die donker koue ure gaan verby
The dark, cold hours pass by
Net jou gedagte wat hier is, wat bly
Only your thought remains here
Soms as ek alleen is
Sometimes when I'm alone
In die stilte van die nag
In the stillness of the night
Dink ek aan 'n lewe
I think of a life
Toe ek jou nog kon hoor lag
When I could still hear you laugh
Ek weet die tyd kom nader
I know the time is coming closer
Ek sien uit na die dag
I look forward to the day
Nou sien ek in my drome
Now I see in my dreams
Daar staan 'n engel wat wag
An angel standing, waiting
Tussen al die stemme pratend in my oor
Among all the voices talking in my ear
Die musiek in jou stem het my getoor
The music in your voice captivated me
Ons loop die lange pad saam niemand voor
We walk the long road together, with no one ahead
Druk jou teen my lyf vas kan jy hoor
Hold you close to my body, can you hear
Jou eggo leef nog aan in ons kind
Your echo still lives on in our child
Al ons liefde word geken en daar gevind
All our love is known and found there
Jou oope hart en meine vas gebind
Your open heart and mind firmly bound
Vir ewig en verlatyd sweef soos die wind
For eternity, it floats like the wind
Koor x2
Chorus repeated twice
