Dis Nooit Te Laat Nie
Ray Dylan Lyrics

Na hoeveel duisend trane breek die dam se wal?
Hoeveel harte sink na die bodem en verdrink?
Maak dit saak wie reg is en wie is verkeerd?
Maak dit saak wie stilbly of die hardste skree?
Het die tyd gekom om trots in jou sak te steek?
Dwarsdeur saam kon lag
Nou lê ons wakker vir die sonopkoms
Die sonopkoms en wag
Dis nooit te laat
Om vergifnis te vra nie en weer te praat
Oor al die dinge wat nog vir ons saakmaak
Mekaar heelmaak dis nooit te laat
Al val ‘n duisend skadus en ons voel gebreek
Sal die mooiste van mekaar die waarheid spreek
Want winde bring in droogte ook die reën
Daar was nagte wat ons dwarsdeur saam
Dwarsdeur saam kon lag
Nou lê ons wakker vir die sonopkoms
Die sonopkoms en wag
Dis nooit te laat
Om vergifnis te vra nie en weer te praat
Oor al die dinge wat nog vir ons saakmaak
Mekaar heelmaak dis nooit te laat
Dis nooit te laat
Om vergifnis te vra nie en weer te praat
Oor al die dinge wat nog vir ons saakmaak
Mekaar heelmaak
Dis nooit te laat
Om vergifnis te vra nie en weer te praat
Oor al die dinge wat nog vir ons saakmaak
Mekaar heelmaak dis nooit te laat
The lyrics to Ray Dylan's song "Dis Nooit Te Laat Nie" speak about the aftermath of a hard fall or a difficult situation. The lyrics question how one can get up after a hard fall and how many tears must be shed before the dam breaks. The song speaks to the idea of wondering how many hearts are sinking to the bottom and drowning. These questions are meant to reflect on how one can get through tough times and overcome adversity.
The song then moves into a discussion about who is right and who is wrong and if it matters if one stays quiet or if one speaks the loudest. The lyrics suggest that maybe it is time to take pride in oneself and move forward. The verse shows that maybe it's not about who is right or wrong, but about learning to forgive and move on.
The chorus speaks to the idea that even though one may feel broken or as if they have fallen a thousand times, there is still time to heal and reconcile with others. The song speaks about the importance of forgiveness and communication in order to move past difficult times. The repeated phrase of "Dis nooit te laat" ("It's never too late") creates a sense of hope that no matter how difficult a situation may be, there is always a chance to reconcile and heal relationships.
Overall, Ray Dylan's "Dis Nooit Te Laat Nie" is a heartfelt song that speaks to the importance of forgiveness and communication in overcoming difficult situations. The lyrics offer both questions and answers about how one can move forward after a fall and how relationships can be healed with time and effort.

Daar was nagte wat ons dwarsdeur saam
There were nights when we were together through and through
Dwarsdeur saam kon lag
Together we could laugh
Nou lê ons wakker vir die sonopkoms
Now we lie awake waiting for the sunrise
Die sonopkoms en wag
The sunrise and waiting

It's never too late

Even if a thousand shadows fall and we feel broken
Sal die mooiste van mekaar die waarheid spreek
The most beautiful truth will speak from each other
Want winde bring in droogte ook die reën
Because winds bring both drought and rain
