En elke ding sy naam
Tog wil ons die swaarkry soms
Ver vooruit gaan haal
En niemand weet wat die toekoms bring
En wat more vir ons hou
Hierdie lewe is vir ons gegee
Sewe dae sewe nagte sewe wonders en nog meer
Dis vir ons en dis vir altyd
Ons moet gee wat ons kan gee
Sewe dae sewe nagte sewe wonders en nog meer
Dis geskenke uit die hemel
Waaruit ons elke dag kan leer
Alles is van korteduur
En alles gaan verby
Waaroom laat ons ons dan toe
Dat ongeluk ons ry?
Iemand weet wat die toekoms bring
En wat more vir ons hou
Hierdie lewe is vir ons gegee
Kom ons leef hom nou
Sewe dae sewe nagte sewe wonders en nog meer
Dis vir ons en dis vir altyd
Ons moet gee wat ons kan gee
Sewe dae sewe nagte sewe wonders en nog meer
Dis geskenke uit die hemel
Waaruit ons elke dag kan leer
Sewe dae sewe nagte sewe wonders en nog meer
Dis vir ons en dis vir altyd
Ons moet gee wat ons kan gee
Sewe dae sewe nagte sewe wonders en nog meer
Dis geskenke uit die hemel
Waaruit ons elke dag kan leer
Dis geskenke uit die hemel
Waaruit ons elke dag kan leer
Elke dag kan leer
The lyrics to Ray Dylan's song "7 Dae 7 nagte" communicate a deep reflection on the human condition and the importance of living in the present moment. The first verse establishes the idea that everything has its own time and place, and every person and everything in the world has a specific name. Despite this order, humans often seek to rush ahead and anticipate the challenges and difficulties that they may face in the future. The second verse acknowledges the mystery of the unknown future and encourages listeners to embrace life as it is given to them, living in the present and cherishing each moment. The chorus repeats the phrase "Sewe dae sewe nagte sewe wonders en nog meer" (Seven days seven nights seven wonders and more) as a reminder of the abundance and beauty of life, and encourages listeners to give their best with what they have to offer.
The third verse begins by acknowledging that all things in life are temporary and will eventually pass away. Despite this truth, humans often allow themselves to be defined by their misfortunes and to allow those experiences to shape their outlook on life. The final verse echoes the second verse's encouragement to live in the present and enjoy the gift of life that each person has been given.
Overall, the song emphasizes the importance of living in the present moment and enjoying life as it comes. It acknowledges the impermanence of all things and encourages listeners to focus on giving their best effort and cherishing each day.

Alles het sy tyd en plek
Everything has its time and place
En elke ding sy naam
And each thing its name
Tog wil ons die swaarkry soms
Yet we sometimes want to anticipate the struggle
Ver vooruit gaan haal
And get ahead of ourselves
En niemand weet wat die toekoms bring
And no one knows what the future holds
En wat more vir ons hou
And what tomorrow has in store for us
Hierdie lewe is vir ons gegee
This life has been given to us
Kom ons leef hom nou
Let us live it now
Sewe dae sewe nagte sewe wonders en nog meer
Seven days, seven nights, seven wonders and more
Dis vir ons en dis vir altyd
It's for us and it's forever
Ons moet gee wat ons kan gee
We must give what we can give
Dis geskenke uit die hemel
It's gifts from heaven
Waaruit ons elke dag kan leer
From which we can learn every day
Alles is van korteduur
Everything is of short duration
En alles gaan verby
And everything passes
Waaroom laat ons ons dan toe
Why do we allow ourselves
Dat ongeluk ons ry?
To be driven by misfortune?
Iemand weet wat die toekoms bring
Someone knows what the future holds
Hierdie lewe is vir ons gegee
This life has been given to us
Kom ons leef hom nou
Let us live it now
Dis geskenke uit die hemel
It's gifts from heaven
Waaruit ons elke dag kan leer
From which we can learn every day

It's for us and it's forever

From which we can learn every day
Sewe dae sewe nagte sewe wonders en nog meer
Seven days, seven nights, seven wonders and more
Dis vir ons en dis vir altyd
It's for us and it's forever
Ons moet gee wat ons kan gee
We must give what we can give
Dis geskenke uit die hemel
It's gifts from heaven
Waaruit ons elke dag kan leer
From which we can learn every day
Dis geskenke uit die hemel
It's gifts from heaven
Waaruit ons elke dag kan leer
From which we can learn every day
