Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In jou sagte oë wilgers in die wind
In jou hande laat die vrede oor my spoel
Waar my hart waar my hart veilig voel
Jy’s die eerste die beste begin van elke dag
Die laaste gevoel die mooiste soen slaap sag vannag
Jy is alles tussen in tussen my einde en begin
Waar ek voel soos ‘n beter man
En niks is meer teveel jy laat my voel ek kan
Waar my rus en vrede is
Ja waar my hart waar my hart teen joune rus
Jy’s die eerste die beste begin van elke dag
Die laaste gevoel die mooiste soen slaap sag vannag
Jy is alles tussen in tussen my einde en begin
Tussen die son en die maan vir altyd saam
Jy’s die eerste die beste begin van elke dag
Die laaste gevoel die mooiste soen slaap sag vannag
Jy is alles tussen in tussen my einde en begin
Tussen die son en die maan vir altyd saam
Jy is alles tussen in tussen my einde en begin
Tussen die son en die maan vir altyd saam
