Hugo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Alleen in 'n kaya van jeugdag se groen?
Onthou jy die dae van skool bunk en kers brand?
Die nagte vol honde en goed om te doen?
Saam het ons bulte geklim in die somer
En fiets gery al op die soom van 'n droom
Wat is jy as jy groot is, is die lewe net stroom op?
Ek bring vir jou blomme ek gee jou genot
Ek leen jou my bicycle sonder 'n slot
Ek weet dit is laat en jou ma'le slaap
Maar ek moes net vir jou sê ek het jou lief
Ek het jou lief soos die Kaap
Karen weet jy dat jare soos wyn
Kan oud word in kanne van jeugdag se groen?
Weet jy dat net kinders liewe Jesus wil lief hê?
En dat kinders die wêreld al meer gaan verstom
Ek bring vir jou blomme ek gee jou genot
Ek leen jou my bicycle sonder 'n slot
Ek weet dit is laat en jou ma'le slaap
Maar ek moes net vir jou sê ek het jou lief
Ek het jou lief soos die Kaap
Ek bring vir jou blomme ek gee jou genot
Ek leen jou my bicycle sonder 'n slot
Ek weet dit is laat en jou ma'le slaap
Maar ek moes net vir jou sê ek het jou lief
Ek het jou lief soos die Kaap
Ek het jou lief soos die Kaap
The lyrics of Hugo's song "Bicycle Sonder Slot" reminisce about the past and evoke a sense of nostalgia. The song begins by addressing Karen and asking if she remembers their childhood memories of hanging out with cold drinks, being alone in a kayak, and the days of school bunking and candlelit evenings. They recall the nights filled with adventures and the simple pleasures of life. Together, they climbed hills during the summer and rode bikes on the edges of dreams. The lyrics pose the question of what one becomes when they grow up, wondering if life is simply a flowing stream. Their questions floated like kites on a tree, symbolizing the curiosity and innocence of youth.
The lyrics then shift to the singer expressing their feelings towards Karen. They bring her flowers and lend her their bicycle without a lock, signifying their trust and openness. They acknowledge that it is late and Karen's mother is asleep, but the singer feels compelled to express their love for her, comparing it to the love one feels for the Cape. The song reflects on the passage of time, how the years can age like wine stored in green jugs of youthful days. It notes that only children truly love Jesus and that children continue to amaze the world.
Overall, "Bicycle Sonder Slot" captures the essence of youth, memories, and the beauty of simple love.

Karen onthou jy ons kuiers met koeldrank?
Karen, do you remember our gatherings with cold drinks?
Alleen in 'n kaya van jeugdag se groen?
Alone in a carriage of youthful green?

Do you remember the days of skipping school and lighting candles?
Die nagte vol honde en goed om te doen?
The nights full of dogs and things to do?
Saam het ons bulte geklim in die somer
Together, we climbed hills in the summer
En fiets gery al op die soom van 'n droom
And rode bicycles on the edge of a dream
Wat is jy as jy groot is, is die lewe net stroom op?
What are you when you grow up, is life just a current?

I lend you my bicycle without a lock
Ek weet dit is laat en jou ma'le slaap
I know it's late and your mother is asleep
Maar ek moes net vir jou sê ek het jou lief
But I just had to tell you I love you
