jou woorde se wat my hart wil hoor
maar jou dade gee iets anders voor
as ons saam is voel jy deel van my
maar op n afstand wil jy my vermy
moet ek my kanse waag om verder jou na te jaag, meer op die spel is hoe meer kan ek verloor
sit ek my geld op jou
speel ek die kleur wat jou sou
rooi of swart liefde of smart
weet jy nie? jy speel roulette met my hart
stop die wiel, breek die reel
weet jy nie? jy speel roulette met my hart
oooooooh

ooooooooh

jou soenne kan n man se hart verly
waarom speel jy dan so rof met my

hierdie kans doen hom nog een keer voor
moet ek my kanse waag om verder jou na te jaag, meer op die spel is hoe meer kan ek verloor sit ek my geld op jou

In NRG's song "Roulette," the lyrics describe a situation where the singer is being misled by their love interest’s words and actions. While together, the love interest feels like a part of the singer, but when distanced, the love interest avoids the singer. The singer is unsure about whether they should take a risk and chase after the love interest or move on. They feel like they are gambling and putting their heart on the line since the more they invest, the more they stand to lose. The love interest is described as playing "roulette" with their heart because they are uncertain and unpredictable.
The song's chorus uses the analogy of a game of roulette to describe the unpredictability of love. The singer feels like they are placing bets on the love interest and is uncertain of what the outcome will be. The repeated line "jy speel roulette met my hart" (you play roulette with my heart) emphasizes how the singer feels like they have no control over what happens in their relationship.
Overall, "Roulette" portrays the uncertainty and risk-taking involved in romantic relationships, highlighting how love can often feel like a game of chance.
