Vir Nou
Jay Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Jy's die een vir wie ek voel maar jy is nie vir my bedoel
Saam wag ons vir beter dinge oor die paaie vir ons kom
Kom ons sing 'n liedjie saam, 'n liedjie wat oor ons twee gaan
Ons kersie is nog aan die brand, ons wag vir die donker

Tussen my en jou
Is daar plek vir soveel ander dinge, plek vir iemand anders, maar vir nou
Is dit ek en jy, ek en jy, ek en jy

Ek's die een vir wie jy voel maar ek is nie vir jou bedoel
Saam staan ons en staar na paaie, water het dit weg gespoel
Wag ons maar in stilte saam, wag ons nou so hand aan hand
Die kersie het al uitgebrand, ons wag in die donker

Tussen my en jou
Is daar plek vir soveel ander dinge, plek vir iemand anders, maar vir nou
Is dit ek en jy, ek en jy, ek en jy, ons sinne maak woorde maar jou woorde maak nie sin nie
Ons frases maak stories maar die stories begin nie
Sonder stories maak niks sin nie

Tussen my en jou
Is daar plek vir soveel ander dinge, plek vir iemand anders, maar vir nou




Is dit ek en jy, ek en jy, ek en jy
Is dit ek en jy, ek en jy, ek en jy

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Jay's song Vir Nou seem to describe two people who have feelings for each other but are not meant to be together. They wait for better things to come their way and sing a song together, but acknowledge that their relationship is limited to the present moment. The metaphor of a burning cherry (kersie) that is waiting for darkness to arrive is used to represent their relationship, implying that it is fragile and temporary. They stare at the washed out paths and silently wait hand-in-hand, as the cherry has already burnt out.


The chorus repeats that there is room for many other things between them, including other people, but for now it's just the two of them. Their conversation doesn't make perfect sense, as their ideas or "words" (sinne), are incompatible; their phrases weave stories, but the stories have not yet begun. Without stories nothing makes sense, implying that their relationship may never fully make sense since it may never come to fruition.


The song overall carries a melancholic and wistful tone, expressing the fleeting nature of human relationships and the diverging paths that some may take. It hints at the notion that they may have to separate and find different paths, but for this moment they will just be together.


Line by Line Meaning

Jy's die een vir wie ek voel maar jy is nie vir my bedoel
You're the one I feel for, but you're not meant for me


Saam wag ons vir beter dinge oor die paaie vir ons kom
Together we wait for better things to come over the paths for us


Kom ons sing 'n liedjie saam, 'n liedjie wat oor ons twee gaan
Let’s sing a song together, a song that’s about us two


Ons kersie is nog aan die brand, ons wag vir die donker
Our candle is still burning, we’re waiting for the dark


Tussen my en jou
Between me and you


Is daar plek vir soveel ander dinge, plek vir iemand anders, maar vir nou
There’s room for so many other things, room for someone else, but for now


Is dit ek en jy, ek en jy, ek en jy
It’s just you and me, you and me, you and me


Ek's die een vir wie jy voel maar ek is nie vir jou bedoel
I'm the one you feel for, but I'm not meant for you


Saam staan ons en staar na paaie, water het dit weg gespoel
Together we stand and stare at paths, water has washed them away


Wag ons maar in stilte saam, wag ons nou so hand aan hand
Let’s just wait together in silence, holding hands


Die kersie het al uitgebrand, ons wag in die donker
The candle has already burned out, we’re waiting in the dark


Ons sinne maak woorde maar jou woorde maak nie sin nie
Our sentences make sense but your words don’t


Ons frases maak stories maar die stories begin nie
Our phrases make stories but the stories don’t start


Sonner stories maak niks sin nie
Without stories, nothing makes sense
