So Lank Sal Ek Jou Liefhê
Jay Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Jy is soos rooiwyn, raak beter elke dag
Jy maak my dronk op liefde, jy het my in jou mag
Jy is soos water, deur alles wat jy gee
Jy hou my aan die lewe, jy red my elke keer

Ek wil nie sonder jou nie
Ek kan nie sonder jou nie
Hoe lank gaan ek jou liefhê, tot die branders almal stil lê en die groenste woude groei in die woestyn
En hoe lank sal jy my liefhê, totdat ek my kop gaan neerlê en nogsteeds sal jy my hart by jou hê
So lank sal ek jou liefhê

Jy is soos heuning, 'n goue stukkie soet
Jy troos my met jou druppels, jy gee my nuwe moed
Jy's soos 'n reënboog, die kleure in my swart
Jou liefde het nie einde, jou goudpot is jou hart

Ek wil nie sonder jou nie
Ek kan nie sonder jou nie

Hoe lank gaan ek jou liefhê, tot die branders almal stil lê en die groenste woude groei in die woestyn
En hoe lank sal jy my liefhê, totdat ek my kop gaan neerlê en nogsteeds sal jy my hart by jou hê
So lank sal ek jou liefhê
So lank sal ek jou liefhê

Hoe lank gaan ek jou liefhê, tot die branders almal stil lê en die groenste woude groei in die woestyn
En hoe lank sal jy my liefhê, totdat ek my kop gaan neerlê en nogsteeds sal jy my hart by jou hê

Hoe lank gaan ek jou liefhê, tot die branders almal stil lê en die groenste woude groei in die woestyn
En hoe lank sal jy my liefhê, totdat ek my kop gaan neerlê en nogsteeds sal jy my hart by jou hê
So lank sal ek jou liefhê (Hoe lank)
Sal ek jou liefhê (So lank sal ek jou liefhê)




En hoe lank sal jy my liefhê, totdat ek my kop gaan neerlê en nogsteeds sal jy my hart by jou hê
So lank sal ek jou liefhê

Overall Meaning

Jay's song "So Lank Sal Ek Jou Liefhê" is a beautiful ode to everlasting love. The chorus, "Hoe lank sal ek jou liefhê, tot die branders almal stil lê en die groenste woude groei in die woestyn / En hoe lank sal jy my liefhê, totdat ek my kop gaan neerlê en nogsteeds sal jy my hart by jou hê / So lank sal ek jou liefhê," translates to "How long will I love you, until the waves all lay still and the greenest forests grow in the desert / And how long will you love me, until I lay my head down and you still have my heart / So long will I love you," is a testament to the depth and endurance of love.


The song is full of metaphorical comparisons between the subject of the love and natural elements. The first verse describes the loved one as "like red wine, getting better every day" and "like water, giving life and saving the singer every time." The second verse compares the loved one to honey, a source of sweetness and comfort, and a rainbow, bringing color and light to the singer's life.


The repetition of "Ek wil nie sonder jou nie / Ek kan nie sonder jou nie" (I don't want to be without you / I can't be without you) emphasizes the singer's dependency and vulnerability, highlighting the importance of the loved one's presence in their life.


Overall, "So Lank Sal Ek Jou Liefhê" is a beautiful, soulful song that speaks to the enduring power of love and its ability to sustain us through life's challenges.
