Winter

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ons was so gek oor mekaar
Alles was reg met my siel en gees
Nou is jy weg en ek’s verdwaal
Want elke dag soos ‘n winter sneeu gevulde winter sonder sonder jou
Ek kry nou so koud en ek bibber jy moet weet ek bewe sonder sonder jou
Want dit is winter sonder jou
Met trane wat rol het hul koers gevind
My emmer is vol van hartseer
My trane stol want dis verby vriespunt
Selfs die son kan die koue nie keer (Kan die koue nie keer)
Want elke dag soos ‘n winter sneeu gevulde winter sonder sonder jou
Ek kry nou so koud en ek bibber jy moet weet ek bewe sonder sonder jou
Want dit is winter
Want sonder jou is my temperatuur nou verlaag
Ek bibber en beef al lyk ek so braaf
Ek voel nog jou asem ek sien jou in die reën
Waar is jy heen?
Want elke dag soos ‘n winter sneeu gevulde winter sonder sonder jou
Ek kry nou so koud en ek bibber jy moet weet ek bewe sonder sonder jou
Want elke dag soos ‘n winter sneeu gevulde winter sonder sonder jou
Ek kry nou so koud en ek bibber jy moet weet ek bewe sonder sonder jou
Want dit is winter sonder jou
The song "Winter" by Izak Davel is a heart-wrenching ballad about the pain and emptiness that comes with losing someone you love. The opening lines describe how perfect everything seemed when the two lovers were together: "We were so right for each other / We were so crazy about each other / Everything was right with my soul and spirit." But now that the person is gone, the singer is lost and alone.
The chorus compares the feeling of being without the loved one to a snow-filled winter, which is cold and isolating. The singer shivers and trembles, unable to stay warm without the other person's presence. The second verse adds to the sense of despair, with tears freezing on the singer's face and even the sun unable to provide any warmth.
The bridge section of the song addresses the physical and emotional impact of the loss. The singer's temperature has dropped, leading to constant shivering, and even though they try to be brave, they are still haunted by memories of the person they've lost: "I feel your breath, I see you in the rain / Where have you gone?"
Overall, "Winter" is a poignant and moving song that captures the pain of missing someone with profound simplicity and beauty.
