Hugo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Met jou toring wat troon teen die blou
Die motors raak al grooter
Net soos my liefde vir jou
In die linkerbaan staan ‘n laaitie
Met ‘n rugsak wat ruik na die myn
Hy wil raak daaraan maar hy weet nie
Want ek wil hoor van jou
Jou stem in my kombie onthou
En jy wil self verder gaan
Hou maar jou trou
Want ek wil hoor van jou
Jou hart in my hande toe vou
En soos die wind voor my waai
Maak jy jou draai dis al wat ek het van jou
Elke airport is ‘n resort
Vol mense wat jaag om te wag
Hul boeke is vol boodskappe
Wat verkondig die lewe’s te kort
Op die aanloopbaan ry ek somtyds saam
Maar daar's niemand om na toe te gaan
My seatbelt is my tuiste
En die ou oom langs my verstaan
Dat ek wil hoor van jou
Jou stem in my kombie onthou
En jy wil self verder gaan
Hou maar jou trou
Want ek wil hoor van jou
Jou hart in my hande toe vou
En soos die wind voor my waai
Maak jy jou draai dis al wat ek het van jou
Pak jou tasse, jou matrasse
En gooi duim tot hier in die Kaap
Ons vergeet als, ons bly wels
Jou drome kom terug as jy slaap
Ons kan wyn drink, aan mekaar dink
Maar dis hoe dit was nou’s dit klaar
In blou water raak ons beter
Vergewe, verkyk en vergaan
Want ek wil hoor van jou
Jou stem in my kombie onthou
En jy wil self verder gaan
Hou maar jou trou
Want ek wil hoor van jou
Jou hart in my hande toe vou
En soos die wind voor my waai
Maak jy jou draai dis al wat ek het van jou
Het van jou
Het van jou
The lyrics to Hugo's song "Goudstad" (Gold City) depict a bittersweet longing and nostalgia for a lost love. The singer is walking along a delicate road in the city of gold (Johannesburg), with its towering buildings against the backdrop of the blue sky. As the cars grow bigger, so does their love for the person they are yearning for. In the left lane stands a young man with a backpack that smells like the mine. He wants to touch it, but he doesn't know that the singer's guitar screams with pain.
The song continues with references to airports, where people rush to wait, and their books are filled with messages proclaiming that life is too short. The singer sometimes drives along the runway but there's no one to go to. The seatbelt becomes their home, and the old man next to them understands. They express their desire to hear from the person they love, to remember their voice in their kombi (a type of car), while the other person wants to move on but should remain faithful.
The final verse talks about packing bags and mattresses, hitchhiking to the Cape. The singer suggests forgetting everything, staying well, and believing that dreams come back when you sleep. They can drink wine and think of each other, but that's how it was and now it's over. They find solace in the blue water, where they become better, forgiving, amazed, and eventually disappear.

By die Goudstad loop ‘n teerpad
In the Golden City, there is a delicate road
Met jou toring wat troon teen die blou
With your tower that reigns against the blue
Die motors raak al grooter
The cars are getting bigger
Net soos my liefde vir jou
Just like my love for you
In die linkerbaan staan ‘n laaitie
In the left lane stands a young boy
Met ‘n rugsak wat ruik na die myn
With a backpack that smells like the mine
Hy wil raak daaraan maar hy weet nie
He wants to touch it but he doesn't know
My kitaar skree self van die pyn
My guitar screams from the pain itself
Want ek wil hoor van jou
Because I want to hear from you
Jou stem in my kombie onthou
Remembering your voice in my combi
En jy wil self verder gaan
And you want to move on yourself
Hou maar jou trou
Just hold on to your fidelity
Elke airport is ‘n resort
Every airport is a resort
Vol mense wat jaag om te wag
Full of people rushing to wait
Hul boeke is vol boodskappe
Their books are full of messages
Wat verkondig die lewe’s te kort
That proclaim life is short
Op die aanloopbaan ry ek somtyds saam
Sometimes I drive along the runway
Maar daar's niemand om na toe te gaan
But there's no one to go to
My seatbelt is my tuiste
My seatbelt is my home
En die ou oom langs my verstaan
And the old man next to me understands
Dat ek wil hoor van jou
That I want to hear from you
Jou stem in my kombie onthou
Remembering your voice in my combi
En jy wil self verder gaan
And you want to move on yourself
Hou maar jou trou
Just hold on to your fidelity
Pak jou tasse, jou matrasse
Pack your bags, your mattresses
En gooi duim tot hier in die Kaap
And hitchhike all the way to the Cape
Ons vergeet als, ons bly wels
We forget everything, we remain well
Jou drome kom terug as jy slaap
Your dreams come back when you sleep
Ons kan wyn drink, aan mekaar dink
We can drink wine, think of each other
Maar dis hoe dit was nou’s dit klaar
But that's how it was, now it's over
In blou water raak ons beter
In blue water, we become better
Vergewe, verkyk en vergaan
Forgive, overlook, and vanish
Want ek wil hoor van jou
Because I want to hear from you
Jou stem in my kombie onthou
Remembering your voice in my combi
En jy wil self verder gaan
And you want to move on yourself
Hou maar jou trou
Just hold on to your fidelity
Want ek wil hoor van jou
Because I want to hear from you
Jou hart in my hande toe vou
Folding your heart in my hands
En soos die wind voor my waai
And as the wind blows in front of me
Maak jy jou draai dis al wat ek het van jou
You make your turn, that's all I have of you
Het van jou
Have from you
Het van jou
Have from you
