Swart Koffie
Corlea Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is jy bitter goud?
Diep in my hart weet ek jy is ‘n fout
Meer van jou
Ek wil aanhou drink
Sonder jou voel ek hoe ek weer sink
Maar lê my langs jou neer
Dis die bitter in jou soen
Dis wat ek weer wil proe
Dis die 'los' as jy my vashou en jy weet net hoe
Dis die woorde as jy terug kyk
Jy het my, ek gee toe
Jy's my swart koffie
Alles wat ek weet van hoe ek dalk moet voel
As die liefde heen en weer tussen twee mense spoel
Word net weer en weer en weer verkeerd bewys
Jy's my swart koffie
Trek my in soos die ou dae
Ek het jou nodig as jy vir my vra
Al is jy nie net lief vir my
Ek sal moet vat wat ek van jou af kry
Lê my langs jou neer
En voel hoe ek terug skeur
Dis die bitter in jou soen
Dis wat ek weer wil proe
Dis die los as jy my vashou, en jy weet net hoe
Dis die woorde as jy terug kyk
Jy het my, ek gee toe
Jy's my swart koffie
Alles wat ek weet van hoe ek dalk moet voel
As die liefde heen en weer tussen twee mense spoel
Word net weer en weer en weer verkeerd bewys
Jy's my swart koffie
Jy's my swart koffie
Jy's my swart koffie
Jy's my swart koffie
Jy's my swart koffie
Jy smaak so bittersleg
Ek kry nie genoeg van jou nie
Jy voel vir my so reg
Ek wil my nie losmaak nou nie
Dis die bitter in jou soen
Dis wat ek weer wil proe
Dis die los as jy my vashou en jy weet net hoe
Dis die woorde as jy terug kyk
Jy het my, ek gee toe
Jy's my swart koffie
Alles wat ek weet, van hoe ek dalk moet voel
As die liefde heen en weer tussen twee mense spoel
Word net weer en weer en weer verkeerd bewys
Jy's my swart koffie
The lyrics of Corlea's song Swart Koffie talks about the feeling of being addicted to someone and how difficult it is to let go of that person. The metaphor of "swart koffie" is used to represent the bitterness and the pain of being addicted to someone. The singer asks the person if they are bitter in a sarcastic manner, knowing well that the person is, and blames it on her addiction to them. She admits that the person is a mistake, but she still craves for him, just like she craves for her morning cup of black coffee.
The singer yearns for the intimacy and connection that she had with the person in the past. She talks about how being held by the person makes her feel complete but acknowledges that they may not love her back the same way. The singer is willing to settle for whatever she can get, even if it's not genuine love. The repetition of the phrase "jy's my swart koffie" at the end of each verse emphasizes how deep-rooted the addiction and pain is for the singer.
Overall, the song showcases an intense feeling of addiction, desperation, and a lack of control over the emotions that come with love. The lyrics are raw and honest, making it relatable to anyone who has suffered from a similar experience.

Proe ek reg
Do I taste right
Is jy bitter goud?
Are you bitter gold?
Diep in my hart weet ek jy is ‘n fout
Deep in my heart I know you're a mistake
Meer van jou
More of you
Ek wil aanhou drink
I want to keep drinking
Sonder jou voel ek hoe ek weer sink
Without you, I feel myself sinking again
Maar lê my langs jou neer
But lay me down next to you
En voel hoe ek terug skeur
And feel how I tear myself away
Dis die bitter in jou soen
It's the bitterness in your kiss
Dis wat ek weer wil proe
It's what I want to taste again
Dis die 'los' as jy my vashou en jy weet net hoe
It's the 'letting go' as you hold me and only you know how
Dis die woorde as jy terug kyk
It's the words when you look back
Jy het my, ek gee toe
You have me, I give in
Jy's my swart koffie
You're my black coffee
Alles wat ek weet van hoe ek dalk moet voel
Everything I know about how I should feel
As die liefde heen en weer tussen twee mense spoel
As love flows back and forth between two people
Word net weer en weer en weer verkeerd bewys
It's proven wrong again and again and again
Trek my in soos die ou dae
Pull me in like in the old days
Ek het jou nodig as jy vir my vra
I need you if you ask me
Al is jy nie net lief vir my
Even if you're not only in love with me
Ek sal moet vat wat ek van jou af kry
I'll have to take what I can get from you
Jy smaak so bittersleg
You taste so bitter-sweet
Ek kry nie genoeg van jou nie
I can't get enough of you
Jy voel vir my so reg
You feel so right for me
Ek wil my nie losmaak nou nie
I don't want to let go now
Jy smaak so bittersleg
You taste so bitter-sweet

I hope this helps.
Do I taste right, are you bitter gold....
Deep in my heart I know you are a fault...
More of you, I want to keep drin-king....
Wit-h-out you I feel like I am sin-king
But lay down next to me.... And feel me tear away....
(chorous)
It’s the bitter of your kiss...
I want to taste again....
It’s letting go when you hold me, And you just know how
It’s the words when you look back....
You’ve got me I give in....
You’re my black coffee....
Everthing I know about how I should probably feel...
When love flows back and forth between 2 people then....
I am shown more and more and more how wrong I am...
You’re my black coffee
Pull me closer like the old days....
I'm needing you when you ask for me...
Even if you don’t love me.....
I’ll have to take what you offer me....
But lay down next to me...
And feel me tear away…
Chorous....
It’s the bitter in your kiss...
I want to taste again....
It’s letting go when you hold me, And you just know how
It’s the words when you look back....
You’ve got me I give in....
You’re my black coffee.
Everthing I have and how I should probably feel....
When love flows back and forth between 2 people then....
I am shown more and more and more how wrong I am....
Your’re my black coffee....
You’re my black coffee.....
Your’e my black coffee....
Mmmm your’e my black coffee....
mmm ohhhhhhhhhh hhh
You’re my black coffee.....
You taste so very bad......
I just can’t get enough of you.....
You feel to me so right....
I cannot release myself from here....
It’s the bitter in your kiss....
I want to taste again.....
It’s letting go when you hold me, And you just know how
It’s the words when you look back....
You’ve got me I give in.....
You’re my black coffee.......
Everything I have, how I should probably feel....
When love flows back and forth between 2 people then....
I am shown more and more and more how wrong I am.....

Your’re my black coffee
