Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Jy maak ‘n man mal
Weet jy
Jy laat die son opkom
Jy maak my andersom
Weet jy
Want jy het net ‘n manier
En dis so ‘n plesier
Om die wêreld te verduur
As jy lag vir my
Sê my sal jy vir my sing
As ek belowe jy's in my drome
Kan ek my hart na jou toe bring
Word die winter dan ‘n somer
Ek hoor my klokkie lui
En dan sê jy vir my soen my
Jy sit my ligte af
En al my honde blaf soen my
Sing vir my
Sing vir my ooh
