Shangri-La
Die Heuwels Fantasties Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
as jy dink daar is iets mooi aan hierie ou gesig
Dalk is jy doof
want as jy my kon hoor sou hy omdraai en weg hardloop
Of is ek dom om te dink jy na hierdie fiasco van ń mens
sal terug kom
Wats te doelloos om saam die lewe te wag
Al is jy ver is jy naby aan my
Want mense en hul grense is vyande anders as vir my
Ek hoops jys spyt
ek dink eks dood
Ek hoop eks spyt
ek dink eks dood
Shangri-lalalalalala
wat ookal jy dit noem noem noem x2
The lyrics of Die Heuwels Fantasties's song Shangri-La seem to be about a failed romance. The singer addresses their former lover and questions their perception and judgment, stating that they must be blind or deaf to have found anything attractive or worthwhile about the singer. The singer also questions themselves, wondering if they are foolish to hope that their ex-lover will come back to them after what the singer refers to as a "fiasco." The singer notes how they feel numb and uninspired to continue living their life without their former partner by their side.
Despite the apparent distance and separation between the singer and their ex-lover, the singer asserts that they still feel close to them in some way. The singer sees no limitations or boundaries between themselves and other people, unlike their ex-lover who seems to view people as enemies. The final lines of the song repeat the phrase "Shangri-La," which could refer to the idea of a paradise or utopia, suggesting that the singer is searching for a better place than where they are now.
Overall, the lyrics of the song explore the feelings of confusion, regret, and longing that arise after a romantic relationship has ended.

Jys seker blind
You must be blind to think there is anything beautiful about this old face.
Dalk is jy doof
Maybe you're deaf, because if you could hear me, he would turn around and run away.
Of is ek dom om te dink jy na hierdie fiasco van ń mens
sal terug kom
Or am I foolish to think that after this debacle of a person, you will come back?
Dis gevoelloos om aan hierdie hande te vat
Wats te doelloos om saam die lewe te wag
It's heartless to hold these hands, and it's pointless to wait for life together.
Al is jy ver is jy naby aan my
Want mense en hul grense is vyande anders as vir my
Even if you're far, you're close to me, because people and their borders are enemies to me in a different way.
Ek hoops jys spyt
ek dink eks dood
Ek hoop eks spyt
ek dink eks dood
I hope you're sorry, I think I'm dead. I hope I'm sorry, I think I'm dead.
Shangri-lalalalalala

You're probably blind
If you think there's something beautiful about this old face
Maybe you are deaf
Because if you could hear me he would turn around and run away
Or am I stupid to think you are after this fiasco of a human being
Will be back
It's numb to touch these hands
What's too pointless to wait for life together
Even if you are far you are close to me
Because people and their borders are enemies different from me
I hope you'm sorry
I think I'm dead
I hope I'm sorry
I think I'm dead
Shangri-lalalalalala
Whatever you call it call call x2
