Kiepie en Kandas
Lianie May Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is ek maar net ‘n dromer?
Alle paaie lei na Roma maar net een lei na jou hart
Wys my
Jou oë is die vertoning
En ek is die beloning as jy my net saam jou vat
Nes ‘n das wat netjies pas
Nes soos snipper is die punt het jy in my hart kom sit
Ek sal berge vir jou klim
Net soos Agter Elke Man
Is jy die een wat by my staan
Onder Draai die Duiwel Rond jy haal my voete af die grond
Jy steel die woorde uit my mond
Soen my
Net soos in die movies
Ons is nes ‘n sepie wat ook net nie einde kry
Wys my
Sal jy vir my baklei
Sal jy verder as die horison of deurnag vir my ry?
Net soos Kiepie en Kandas
Nes ‘n das wat netjies pas
Nes soos snipper is die punt het jy in my hart kom sit
Ek sal berge vir jou klim
Net soos Agter Elke Man
Is jy die een wat by my staan
Onder Draai die Duiwel Rond jy haal my voete af die grond
Jy steel die woorde uit my mond
En ek is vir jou soos Jolene en jy my DiCaprio
Ek sien dit op die big screen
Jy hou my vas
En ek vir jou
Net soos Kiepie en Kandas
Nes ‘n das wat netjies pas
Nes soos snipper is die punt het jy in my hart kom sit
Ek sal berge vir jou klim
Net soos Agter Elke Man
Is jy die een wat by my staan
Onder Draai die Duiwel Rond jy haal my voete af die grond
Jy steel die woorde uit my mond
Net soos Kiepie en Kandas
Nes ‘n das wat netjies pas
Nes soos snipper is die punt het jy in my hart kom sit
Ek sal berge vir jou klim (Berge vir jou klim)
Net soos Agter Elke Man
Is jy die een wat by my staan
Onder Draai die Duiwel Rond jy haal my voete af die grond
Jy steel die woorde uit my mond
The lyrics to Lianie May's song "Kiepie en Kandas" are a proclamation of love and adoration towards the subject of the song. The line "Knyp my, is ek maar net 'n dromer?" translates to "Pinch me, am I just dreaming?" highlighting the disbelief in the singer's mind that this love and affection could be real. They then go on to say that out of all the paths in life, they feel that there is only one that leads to the subject's heart.
The lyrics then compare their love to two classic pairs: Kiepie and Kandas, and Jolene and DiCaprio. Kiepie and Kandas were characters in a well-known Afrikaans TV series about a pair of friends who always had each other's backs, just like how the singer feels about their love interest. Jolene and DiCaprio refer to the classic movie Moulin Rouge, in which the two characters are in love and face many obstacles. The singer sees their love story as equally epic and romantic.
The singer describes how their love interest brings them euphoria, similar to how the devil can turn one's world "upside down" in the song "Onder Draai die Duiwel Rond". The chorus repeats the comparisons to Kiepie and Kandas, as well as to "Agter Elke Man" (a famous South African TV show about strong independent women and their supportive partners) to emphasize how their love is a perfect fit and how they complete each other.
