Jy Gaan Bid vir Pouse
Ray Dylan Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ek onthou daar by die Kloofnekdam daar teen die ou wilgerstam
Daar het jou lyfie teen my ontspan met jou stoute skoene aan
Jy druk my knoppie met die rooiskrif in the point of no return
Jy maak dinge wakker diep in my dis waar jou moeilikheid begin

So sê my het jy brieke?
Ek verloor beheer oor myne
Te vinnig kan jou seermaak

As ons hande raak

Jou mond my beste nasie
Dis my ware inspirasie
Jy dink jy is die stoutste
Maar jy gaan bid vir pouse

Want jy’s die petrol op my vuur wat stook wat my bloed weer oor laat kook
En waar ons nou is is dit klaar te laat om noodrookseine te maak
Ek voel hier teen my hoe jou lyf ontspan en ek weet jy werk met ‘n plan
Ek voel die hitte oor jou asem jaag die vonke spoor my aan

So sê my het jy brieke?
Ek verloor beheer oor myne
Te vinnig kan jou seermaak
As ons hande raak

Jou mond my beste nasie
Dis my ware inspirasie
Jy dink jy is die stoutste
Maar jy gaan bid vir pouse

So sê my het jy brieke?
Ek verloor beheer oor myne
Te vinnig kan jou seermaak
As ons hande raak

Jou mond my beste nasie
Dis my ware inspirasie

Jy dink jy is die stoutste
Maar jy gaan bid vir pouse

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Ray Dylan's song Jy Gaan Bid vir Pouse (You're Going to Pray for Rest) tell the story of a passionate encounter between two people near Kloofnekdam under a willow tree. The singer remembers the feeling of the other's body pressed against his own, describing it as "relaxing" but also "naughty" due to the other person's "stout" shoes. As things become more heated, the singer admits to losing control and feeling like the other person could hurt him if they don't slow down.

The chorus contains the song's key metaphor, comparing the other person to petrol that fuels the singer's fire but inevitably leads to exhaustion. The singer recognizes the other person's power over him but also implies that they will eventually need a break ("bidding for rest") due to their own "wildness." Throughout the song, there is a sense of inevitability and urgency, with the singer feeling like they cannot resist the other person's charms despite the potential danger.

Ek onthou daar by die Kloofnekdam daar teen die ou wilgerstam
I remember at Kloofnek Dam, by the old willow tree, where your body relaxed against mine with your naughty shoes on.

Jy druk my knoppie met die rooiskrif in the point of no return
You pushed my button with the red script at the point of no return.

Jy maak dinge wakker diep in my dis waar jou moeilikheid begin
You awaken things deep inside me where your difficulty starts.

So sê my het jy brieke?
So tell me, do you have brakes?

Ek verloor beheer oor myne
I lose control over mine.

Te vinnig kan jou seermaak
Too fast can hurt you.

As ons hande raak
If our hands touch.

Jou mond my beste nasie
Your mouth my best nation.

Dis my ware inspirasie
It's my true inspiration.

Jy dink jy is die stoutste
You think you're the naughtiest.

Maar jy gaan bid vir pouse
But you're going to pray for a break.

Want jy’s die petrol op my vuur wat stook wat my bloed weer oor laat kook
Because you're the petrol on my fire that ignites and makes my blood boil over again.

En waar ons nou is is dit klaar te laat om noodrookseine te maak
And where we are now, it's already too late to make emergency signals.

Ek voel hier teen my hoe jou lyf ontspan en ek weet jy werk met ‘n plan
I feel your body relaxing against me, and I know you're working with a plan.

Ek voel die hitte oor jou asem jaag die vonke spoor my aan
I feel the heat rushing over your breath, igniting sparks that spur me on.
