Eden Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

druk jou lyf teen my lyf
wil jou liggaam hier teen my voel
want alleen is ek koud
maar jy maak my warm, net jy maak my stout
kom en leen my jou mond
wil jou lippe op meine voel
en ek sal jou optel
swyzi verbyby, ek sal jou nooit laat val

en ons speel dirty dancing
en ons dans in die donker
dirty dancing en ons voel weer jonger
trek my in trek my uit dit is tyd om die deur te sluit
want daar's niks regtig beter as wat ons twee doen vanaand

as jy vat vat jy raak
weet net wat om met my te maak
want hier tussen die lakens kom jy soos atuin
jy's n kunswerk vir my

en ons speel dirty dancing
en ons dans in die donker
dirty dancing en ons voel weer jonger
trek my in trek my uit dt is tyd om die deur te sluit
want daars niks regtig beter as wat ons twee doen vanaand

ek, en jy het die tyd van ons lewe
elke deel van jou lyf
elke kurwe gemaak net vir my

en ons speel dirty dancing
en ons dans in die donker
dirty dancing, en ons voel weer jonger
trek my in trek my uit dit is tyd om die deur te sluit
want daars niks regtig beter as wat ons twee doen vanaand

dirty dancing en ons dans in die donker
dirty dancing en ons voel weer jonger
trek my in trek my uit




dit is tyd om die deur te sluit
want daars niks regtig beter as wat ons twee doen vanaand

elke deel van jou lyf
Every part of your body


elke kurwe gemaak net vir my
Every curve made just for me
