Emmers Vol Liefde
Nicholis Louw Lyrics

The song, "Emmers Vol Liefde" (Buckets Full of Love) by Nicholis Louw, is a beautiful expression of unrequited love, longing and ultimately heartbreak. The song is a conversation between two lovers, where the singer seems to be begging his lover to recognize his love and value him the way he deserves. The lines "Ek gee jou emmers vol liefde, maar jy loop en mors, jy mors met my" (I give you buckets full of love, but you waste it, you waste it with me)" express the sense of frustration, desperation and hopelessness that the singer is feeling. His lover is not reciprocating his feelings, and in fact, seems to be taking him for granted.

The verses of the song focus on the singer's love for his lover, and how he sees her as his future. He can't wait to talk to her, hear her voice, and share his love with her. He also talks about their future together, where they can buy a house and have children. However, he knows that his lover is not on the same wavelength, and is forgetting or ignoring the love he has for her.

In the chorus, the singer expresses his frustration with the situation. He tries to give his lover love and attention, but she wastes it, as if it means nothing to her. He is pouring his heart into their relationship, but his lover is not reciprocating. This dynamic can be seen in the repeated line "jy mors met my" (you waste it with me), which emphasizes the hurt and disbelief the singer feels. The song is a poignant reminder of how love can be one-sided and how partners can take each other for granted.
