Lara
Jak de Priester Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Toe ons klein was in Parys
Ek het toe al gewens ons was groot gewees
Ek jou my secrets kon gaan wys
Jou oë was groen soos die bome
As jy my naam sê word ek skaam
Maar Lara as jy loer deur jou ronde bril
Lara liefste Lara
Sou jy jou liefde vir my spaar?
Want ek weet dat ek jou gaan lief gaan hê
My drome sê dit klaar
Sal jou stem in my hart se kluis sit
Sal jou glimlag met my dra
Want Lara ek beloof as ons groot is
Gaan ek jou liefde weer kom vra
Lara ek het jou rond gejaag
Terwyl ons ouers buite braai
Ek het jou hande oor my oë gehou
Ek moes altyd alles raai
Jou hare was ‘n vlegsel
En in jou wange skyn die son
Jy het altyd geglo in die engeltjies
Dat Liewe Jesus weer sal kom
Lara liefste Lara
Sal jy jou liefde vir my spaar?
Want ek weet dat ek jou gaan lief gaan hê
My drome sê dit klaar
Sal jou stem in my hart se kluis sit
Sal jou glimlag met my dra
Want Lara ek beloof as ons groot is
Gaan ek jou liefde weer kom vra
Lara jy was beautiful
As ons hardloop in die son
Ek koop vir jou ‘n coke met jou naam op en
‘n P.S. I love you
Jou hare was ‘n milkshake
As ek jou lift op my bicycle
Jy was nooit bang vir die donker nie
As ek jou hand vat sou jy gil
Lara liefste Lara
Sal jy jou liefde vir my spaar?
Want ek weet dat ek jou lief gaan hê
My drome sê dit klaar
Sal jou stem in my hart se kluis sit
Sal jou glimlag met my dra
Want Lara ek beloof as ons groot is
Gaan ek jou liefde weer kom
Lara liefste Lara
Sal jy jou liefde vir my spaar?
Want ek weet dat ek jou gaan lief gaan hê
My drome sê dit klaar
Sal jou stem in my hart se kluis sit
Sal jou glimlag met my dra
Want Lara ek beloof as ons groot is
Gaan ek jou liefde weer kom vra

Lara jy was beautiful
You were beautiful, Lara
Toe ons klein was in Parys
When we were small in Parys
Ek het toe al gewens ons was groot gewees
I wished we were already grown up
Ek jou my secrets kon gaan wys
So I could show you my secrets
Jou oë was groen soos die bome
Your eyes were green like the trees
As jy my naam sê word ek skaam
I get embarrassed when you say my name
Maar Lara as jy loer deur jou ronde bril
But Lara, when you peek through your round glasses
Wou ek ‘n foto van jou raam
I wanted to take a picture of your window
Lara liefste Lara
Lara, my dearest Lara
Sou jy jou liefde vir my spaar?
Would you save your love for me?
Want ek weet dat ek jou gaan lief gaan hê
Because I know I'm going to love you
My drome sê dit klaar
My dreams say it already
Sal jou stem in my hart se kluis sit
I will put your voice in the safe of my heart
Sal jou glimlag met my dra
I will carry your smile with me
Want Lara ek beloof as ons groot is
Because, Lara, I promise when we are grown up
Gaan ek jou liefde weer kom vra
I will come ask for your love again
Lara ek het jou rond gejaag
Lara, I chased you around
Terwyl ons ouers buite braai
While our parents were braaiing outside
Ek het jou hande oor my oë gehou
I covered my eyes with your hands
Ek moes altyd alles raai
I always had to guess everything
Jou hare was ‘n vlegsel
Your hair was braided
En in jou wange skyn die son
And the sun shines on your cheeks
Jy het altyd geglo in die engeltjies
You always believed in the angels
Dat Liewe Jesus weer sal kom
That Dear Jesus will come again
Lara jy was beautiful
You were beautiful, Lara
As ons hardloop in die son
As we run in the sun
Ek koop vir jou ‘n coke met jou naam op en
I'll buy you a coke with your name on it
‘n P.S. I love you
A P.S. I love you
Jou hare was ‘n milkshake
Your hair was a milkshake
As ek jou lift op my bicycle
If I give you a lift on my bicycle
Jy was nooit bang vir die donker nie
You were never afraid of the dark
As ek jou hand vat sou jy gil
If I held your hand, you would scream
Lara liefste Lara
Lara, my dearest Lara
Sal jy jou liefde vir my spaar?
Would you save your love for me?

Sal jou glimlag met my dra
I will carry your smile with me
Want Lara ek beloof as ons groot is
Because, Lara, I promise when we are grown up
Gaan ek jou liefde weer kom vra
I will come ask for your love again

Gaan ek jou liefde weer kom vra
I will come ask for your love again
