en van vooraf leer om almal te verstaan
Sien jy my?
Ek sal jou moet laar gaan.
Ek kom val voor jou neer
met my hande albei, op my knieë
Sien jy my?
Ek wil nie meer met jou baklei nie
Die lewe gaan aan
Ek wil nie hê jy moet huil nie, ons sal eendag verstaan.
Ek sal jou moet laat gaan
en van vooraf leer om als te verstaan
Sien jy my?
Ek sal jou moet laat gaan.
En ons sal albei nou leer,
dis verlede al maak dit hoe seer
Ons moet die prys betaal
Ek sal jou moet laat gaan
Daar is bloed op my hand
En daar is sout op jou wond
Maar is nes hulle sê
Net die tyd maak gesond
Ek wil nie meer met jou baklei nie
Die lewe gaan aan
Ek wil nie hê jy moet huil nie, ons sal eendag verstaan.
Ek sal jou moet laat gaan
En van vooraf leer om als te verstaan
Sien jy my?
Ek sal jou moet laat gaan
En ons sal albei moet leer
Dis verlede al maak dit hoe seer
Ons moet die prys betaal
En ek sal jou moet laat gaan
Oooh, ek wil nie hê jy moet huil nie,
ons sal eendag verstaan
Ek sal jou moet laat gaan
en van vooraf leer om als te verstaan
Sien jy my?
mmmmmmmmmmm
Ons sal albei moet leer
Dit is verlede al maak dit hoe seer
ons moet die prys betaal
Ek sal jou moet laat gaan
Ek sal jou moet laat gaan,
(ek sal jou moet laat gaan,)
Ek sal jou moet laat gaan.
The lyrics in Ray Dylan's song, "Ek Sal Jou Moet Laat Gaan" (I Will Have to Let You Go) speak of a painful breakup in a relationship, with the singer expressing his realization that he has to move on and let go of his partner. The opening lines repeat the title, emphasizing the theme of separation, and indicating that the singer is forced to come to terms with his hurt emotions. He acknowledges that he needs to learn how to understand everyone from scratch and, in doing so, reveal a newfound degree of awareness.
The singer then seems to plead with his partner, acknowledging the hurtful things he has said to her and asking to be seen. He reveals that his words have hurt, and he does not wish to continue fighting with her. Dylan touches on the idea that it is easier to hold on than let go when one doesn't know what lies ahead. However, he delivers a strong message that it is time to face the pain and move forward. The singer refers to the blood on his hands and the salt on her wounds as metaphors for the hurt and pain caused by the words exchanged during the relationship.
Dylan emphasizes that time is a healer when he states that only the time will make us better. He concludes the song by singing that he does not want her to cry, in full understanding that it is not easy for either party, and that they can only attempt to heal, understand and move forward with their lives. It's a powerful and emotional song about the challenges of saying goodbye to someone who has been an important part of your life.
