Sal Ons Ooit Weer Kan Slaap
Jay Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Soos die son gaan sak en alles op die platteland weer stiller raak
Is daar iets in jou en my wat ons weer wakker maak
Dis die stem wat praat
Sal ons ooit weer kan slaap?

En as dit donker raak en die stad se ligte alles vir ons helder maak
Sien ons die gevaar op elke hoek en straat
Dis die stem wat praat
Sal ons ooit weer kan slaap?

Sê my hoor jy, dis 'n stem wat roep
Sê my voel jy, loop dit deur jou bloed?
Ek voel dit binne my, voel jy dit binne jou?
Sê my hoor jy?

In 'n donker land, waar die rykste hand bly uitreik na 'n arm hand
Tot die grootste man val op sy knieë en vra vir raad
Hoor jy die stem wat praat wat oor ons almal waak?

As ons kinders slaap en die hemel steeds sy kerse vir hul aan die brand
Gee dit my hoop ten minste net vir nog 'n aand
Al wat ek jou vra
Sal ons ooit weer kan slaap?

Sê my hoor jy, dis 'n stem wat roep
Sê my voel jy, loop dit deur jou bloed?
Ek voel dit binne my, voel jy dit binne jou?
Sê my hoor jy?

Sê my hoor jy, dis 'n stem wat roep
Sê my voel jy, loop dit deur jou bloed?
Ek voel dit binne my, voel jy dit binne jou?
Sê my hoor jy?

Sê my hoor jy, hoe die stemme roep?
Sê my voel jy, loop dit deur jou bloed?
Ek voel dit binne my, voel jy dit binne jou?
Sê my hoor jy?
Ek voel dit binne my, voel jy dit binne jou?
Sê my hoor jy?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in Jay's song "Sal Ons Ooit Weer Kan Slaap" reflect on the current state of society, especially in South Africa. The song opens with the idea that as the sun sets and things quiet down in the countryside, there is still something that keeps us awake, something that speaks to us. The lyrics question whether we will ever be able to sleep soundly again, as we are constantly aware of the danger around us. The voice that speaks to us is in a sense a warning, a reminder of the issues that we face every day.


The song also explores the idea of a "dark land," where the rich and powerful take advantage of the poor, and even those in positions of authority need guidance. The lyrics ask if we hear the voice that speaks over us all, reminding us of our duty to care for one another.


The repeated chorus of "Sê my hoor jy, dis 'n stem wat roep, sê my voel jy, loop dit deur jou bloed?" (Do you hear that voice calling, do you feel it running through your blood?) emphasizes the idea that the voice is not something separate from us, but a part of who we are. It's a call to action, a reminder of our shared humanity and responsibility towards each other.


Line by Line Meaning

Soos die son gaan sak en alles op die platteland weer stiller raak
As the sun sets and everything in the countryside grows quieter, there's something inside us that wakes us up.


Is daar iets in jou en my wat ons weer wakker maak
There's something that awakens us inside myself and yourself.


Dis die stem wat praat
It's the voice that speaks.


Sal ons ooit weer kan slaap?
Will we ever be able to sleep again?


En as dit donker raak en die stad se ligte alles vir ons helder maak
And when it gets dark, and the lights of the city make everything bright for us,


Sien ons die gevaar op elke hoek en straat
We see the danger on every corner and street.


Dis die stem wat praat
It's the voice that speaks.

Sê my hoor jy?
Tell me, do you hear it?


In 'n donker land, waar die rykste hand bly uitreik na 'n arm hand
In a dark land, where the richest hand reaches out to a poor hand.


Tot die grootste man val op sy knieë en vra vir raad
Until the greatest man falls to his knees and asks for guidance.


Hoor jy die stem wat praat wat oor ons almal waak?
Do you hear the voice that speaks, watching over all of us?


As ons kinders slaap en die hemel steeds sy kerse vir hul aan die brand
As our children sleep, and the sky still lights their candles.


Gee dit my hoop ten minste net vir nog 'n aand
It gives me hope for at least one more evening.


Al wat ek jou vra
All that I ask of you


Sal ons ooit weer kan slaap?
Will we ever be able to sleep again?


Sê my hoor jy, dis 'n stem wat roep
Tell me, do you hear it? It's a voice calling out.

Sê my hoor jy?
Tell me, do you hear it?


Sê my hoor jy, hoe die stemme roep?
Tell me, do you hear how the voices call out?


Sê my voel jy, loop dit deur jou bloed?
Tell me, do you feel it? Running through your veins?


Ek voel dit binne my, voel jy dit binne jou?
I feel it inside of me, do you feel it inside yourself?


Sê my hoor jy?
Tell me, do you hear it?


Ek voel dit binne my, voel jy dit binne jou?
I feel it inside of me, do you feel it inside yourself?


Sê my hoor jy?
Tell me, do you hear it?
