Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

O ek verlang na jou
Want jy is vêr van my
Jy is vêr van my
Ek klop aan jou hart

O ek verlang na jou
Maar jy is vêr van my
Jy is vêr van my

Ek klop aan jou hart

Die winde waai vanaand hier
Deur my hart
Die stilte raas my wakker
As ek gaan slaap

My koffie is koud
En bitter beskuit is hard
En ek staan voor jou deur en ek
Klop-klop aan jou hart

O ek verlang na jou
Maar jy is vêr van my
Jy is vêr van my
Ek klop aan jou hart

Ja ek droom van jou
Maar jy is vêr van my
Jy is vêr van my
Ek klop aan jou hart

Ek wens ek kan vanaand net
Aan jou vat
Maar ek voel alweer die winter
In my hart

Die myle en die draaie is in my pad
Maar ek staan voor jou deur en ek
Klop-klop aan jou hart

O ek verlang na jou
Maar jy is vêr van my
Jy is vêr van my
Ek klop aan jou hart

Ja ek droom van jou
Maar jy is vêr van my
Jy is vêr van my
Ek klop aan jou hart

Want saans as ek hier lê
Wil ek jou langs my hê
En sonder om te droom
Wil ek sê (Vêr van my, vêr van my, vêr van my)

O ek verlang na jou
Want jy is vêr van my (Vêr van my)
Jy is vêr van my (Vêr van my)
Ek klop aan jou hart

O ek verlang na jou
Want jy is vêr van my
Ja ja jy is vêr van my
En ek klop aan jou hart

Ooh ja ek verlang na jou
Maar jy is vêr van my
Jy is vêr van my
Ek klop aan jou hart

Ooh ja ek kloop aan jou hart

Ooh ek klop aan jou hart (Ek klop aan jou hart)
Ooh ek klop aan jou hart
