As Ek Val
Jay Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Met elke tree
wat jy gee
is ek reg lanks jou
al is jy hier
al is jy ver
bly ek naby jou
en ek wonder hoe weet jy
dat ek ook kan seerkry
ek voel jou lyf
voel jou hart
wat hier teen my klop
dis in jou oë
dis net jy vir wie ek sal baklei
jy ken my verlede
maar dit staan in die hede

en as ek val sal ek weer kan opstaan
sal ek weer kan aangaan
in 'n wêreld sonder jou
want jy is alles wat
wat vir my saakmaak
dis jy wat my hart raak
en ek belowe jou
ek sê dit nou
saam met jou wil ek oud raak

Met elke tree
With every step


wat jy gee
that you give,


is ek reg lanks jou
I am right next to you


al is jy hier
even though you're here,


al is jy ver
even though you're far,


bly ek naby jou
I stay close to you


en ek wonder hoe weet jy
and I wonder how you know


dat ek ook kan seerkry
that I too can hurt,


ek voel jou lyf
I feel your body,


voel jou hart
feel your heart


wat hier teen my klop
beating against mine,


dis in jou oë
It's in your eyes,


dis net jy vir wie ek sal baklei
It's only you for whom I will fight


jy ken my verlede
You know my past


maar dit staan in die hede
But that stays in the past


en as ek val sal ek weer kan opstaan
And if I fall, I will rise again


sal ek weer kan aangaan
I will be able to move on


in 'n wêreld sonder jou
In a world without you


want jy is alles wat
Because you are everything


wat vir my saakmaak
That matters to me


dis jy wat my hart raak
It's you who touches my heart


en ek belowe jou
And I promise you


ek sê dit nou
I say this now


saam met jou wil ek oud raak
That I want to grow old with you
