Juanita du Plessis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ek vra jou, bly by my
Daar's 'n honger in my wat net jy kan stil
Daar's 'n holte in my, wat net jy kan vul
Hoekom vra jy nog as jy die antwoord weet
My vrede lê in jou
Dis hoekom ek jou hier wil hou
Ek vra jou, bly by my
Ek vra jou, bly by my
Al is dit net vanaand
Bly by my
Kom druk jou hart teen my
Ek soek jou langs my sy
Bly net nog 'n aand
Ek vra jou bly by my
In die sagte sand, waar die branders breek
Daar trek my hand, die lyne van jou naam
Wat die hart van vol is, loop die mond van oor
Dit wat ons voel is reg
Net soos die mis op Tafelberg
Ek vra jou, bly by my
Ek vra jou, bly by my
Al is dit net vanaand
Bly by my
Kom druk jou hart teen my
Ek soek jou langs my sy
Bly net nog 'n aand
Ek vra jou bly by my
Laat jou voete in my skadu's rus
Laat, ek jou warm hou
Vang die oomblik vas, al is dit net vir nou
Ek vra jou, bly by my
Ek vra jou, bly by my
Al is dit net vanaand
Bly by my
Kom druk jou hart teen my
Jy weet jy hoort langs my
Bly net nog 'n aand
Ek vra jou bly by my
Bly net nog 'n vanaand
Bly by my

Bly by my
Stay with me
Ek vra jou, bly by my
I ask you, stay with me
Daar's 'n honger in my wat net jy kan stil
There's a hunger in me that only you can satisfy
Daar's 'n holte in my, wat net jy kan vul
There's a hollow in me that only you can fill
Hoekom vra jy nog as jy die antwoord weet
Why do you still ask when you already know the answer?
My vrede lê in jou
My peace lies in you
Dis hoekom ek jou hier wil hou
That's why I want to keep you here
Al is dit net vanaand
Even if it's just tonight
Kom druk jou hart teen my
Come press your heart against me
Ek soek jou langs my sy
I want you next to me
Bly net nog 'n aand
Just stay for one more night
In die sagte sand, waar die branders breek
In the soft sand where the waves break
Daar trek my hand, die lyne van jou naam
There my hand traces the lines of your name
Wat die hart van vol is, loop die mond van oor
What the heart is full of, the mouth overflows with
Dit wat ons voel is reg
What we feel is right
Net soos die mis op Tafelberg
Just like the mist on Table Mountain
Laat jou voete in my skadu's rus
Let your feet rest in my shadows
Laat, ek jou warm hou
Let me keep you warm
Vang die oomblik vas, al is dit net vir nou
Seize the moment, even if it's just for now
Jy weet jy hoort langs my
You know you belong next to me
Bly net nog 'n vanaand
Just stay for one more tonight
Bly by my
Stay with me

You are beautiful in every way and love your music. I was born in Cape town now in the UK. I was so shocked to see Theuns Jordann had passed away. You were so good together and may his soul rest in peace.
