Bang Bang
Nicholis Louw Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ek moet dalk van jou vergeet
Jy slyp jou tande skerper
Jy't 'n byt maar dis lekker
Soos warm kole op my
Soos bloed vloei jy deur my
Soos 'n vuur in die nag
Soos 'n slang lyk jy verdag
Ek is bang bang bietjie
Bang bang bietjie meer as jy
Want jy vat vat bietjie
Vat vat bietjie meer van my
Ek is stom met jou naby
Daar's oorlog hier in my
Jy loop bo oor my
Ek is bang bang bietjie
Bang bang bietjie meer as jy
Bietjie meer as jy
Jy kruip 'n bietjie nader
Jy speel 'n bietjie harder
Ek's bang dit raak al beter
Ek soek jou dis verseker
Soos wind sny jy deur my (Deur my)
Soos die see spoel jy oor my (Oor my)
Ek is bang ek maak seer
Ek weet ek kan dit nie keer
Daar is geen verweer
Ek is bang bang bietjie
Bang bang bietjie meer as jy
Want jy vat vat bietjie
Vat vat bietjie meer van my
Ek is stom met jou naby
Daar's oorlog hier in my
Jy loop bo oor my
Ek is bang bang bietjie
Bang bang bietjie meer as jy
Bietjie meer as jy
Jy ruik jou prooi jy mik en jy mis nooit
Gaan jy my kou en my dan weer vashou
Ek gee myself vir jou op 'n skinkbord
Al weet ek klaar wat gaan van my hart
Word
Ek is bang bang bietjie
Bang bang bietjie meer as jy
Want jy vat vat bietjie
Vat vat bietjie meer van my
Ek is stom met jou naby
Daar's oorlog hier in my
Jy loop bo oor my
Ek is bang bang bietjie
Bang bang bietjie meer as jy
Bietjie meer as jy
The lyrics to Nicholis Louw's song "Bang Bang" speak about fear and surrender in a romantic relationship. The singer is afraid that his lover will consume him, but he is equally drawn to her. He compares her to dangerous animals such as a snake and a jackal, as well as to elements like fire and wind. He admits to feeling vulnerable and powerless in her presence, and to being willing to give himself up to her, despite knowing that it will hurt.
The chorus repeats the phrase "bang bang bietjie," which translates to "a little bit afraid." The singer acknowledges that he is more afraid than his lover, who seems to have more control and power in the relationship. However, he is unwilling to let go and clings to the hope that things will get better.
Overall, the lyrics suggest a complicated and intense connection between two people, where attraction and fear coexist. The singer's vulnerability and submission to his lover is portrayed as a result of his deep feelings, rather than weakness.

Ek's bang jy gaan my opvreet
I'm afraid you will devour me
Ek moet dalk van jou vergeet
Perhaps I should forget about you
Jy slyp jou tande skerper
You sharpen your teeth
Jy't 'n byt maar dis lekker
You have a bite, but it's enjoyable
Soos warm kole op my
Like hot coals on me
Soos bloed vloei jy deur my
Like blood flowing through me
Soos 'n vuur in die nag
Like a fire in the night
Soos 'n jakkals wat wag
Like a jackal waiting
Soos 'n slang lyk jy verdag
Like a snake, you look suspicious
Ek is bang bang bietjie
I am a little bit afraid
Bang bang bietjie meer as jy
A little bit more afraid than you
Want jy vat vat bietjie
Because you take a little bit
Vat vat bietjie meer van my
Take a little bit more from me
Ek is stom met jou naby
I am dumb when I'm close to you
Daar's oorlog hier in my
There's a war within me
Jy loop bo oor my
You walk all over me
Jy kruip 'n bietjie nader
You crawl a little bit closer
Jy speel 'n bietjie harder
You play a little bit harder
Ek's bang dit raak al beter
I'm afraid it's getting better
Ek soek jou dis verseker
I want you, that's for sure
Soos wind sny jy deur my (Deur my)
Like wind, you cut through me (Through me)
Soos die see spoel jy oor my (Oor my)
Like the sea, you wash over me (Over me)
Ek is bang ek maak seer
I'm afraid I'll hurt
Ek weet ek kan dit nie keer
I know I can't stop it
Daar is geen verweer
There is no defense
Jy ruik jou prooi jy mik en jy mis nooit
You smell your prey, aim, and never miss
Gaan jy my kou en my dan weer vashou
Will you bite me and then hold me again
Ek gee myself vir jou op 'n skinkbord
I give myself to you on a platter
Al weet ek klaar wat gaan van my hart
Even though I already know what will happen to my heart
Ek is stom met jou naby
I am dumb when I'm close to you
Daar's oorlog hier in my
There's a war within me
Jy loop bo oor my
You walk all over me
Ek is bang bang bietjie
I am a little bit afraid
Bang bang bietjie meer as jy
A little bit more afraid than you
Bietjie meer as jy
A little bit more than you
