Jy hoef my nie te sê
Ek weet hoe jy voel
Ek glo jy leef jou lewe
Soos jy binne jou voel

En ek verstaan die dag sal kom
Maar tog is ek so bang
Hoe dit voel as jy moet gaan

Maar as jy weg moet gaan
Dan hou ek jou nie langer vas
Vlieg weg op jou lewensvlug
Dalk kom jy eendag terug

Ek weet dat jy moet gaan
En jy kan nie meer langer bly
Miskien is dit beter so
Vir jou en vir my

Daar was dan soveel twyfel
Nou is daar net spyt
My gedagtes maak my klaar
Van onsekerheid

Ek weet dis tyd dat jy moet gaan
Maar my hart breek binne my
Om dit sonder jou te begin

Maar as jy weg moet gaan
Dan hou ek jou nie langer vas
Vlieg weg op jou lewensvlug
Dalk kom jy eendag terug

Ek weet dat jy moet gaan
En jy kan nie meer langer bly
Miskien is dit beter so
Vir jou en vir my

Dis lank nog nie te laat nie
Sal jy my onthou?
Want my deur sal altyd oopstaan net vir jou

Maar as jy weg moet gaan
Dan hou ek jou nie langer vas
Vlieg weg op jou lewensvlug
Dalk kom jy eendag terug

Ek weet dat jy moet gaan
En jy kan nie meer langer bly

Miskien is dit beter so
Vir jou en vir my

The lyrics of Ray Dylan's song Maar as jy weg moet gaan express a bittersweet sentiment of letting go. Dylan seems to be speaking to a loved one who is about to leave, someone whom he knows very well and understands deeply. He assures this person that he doesn't need to explain the reasons for leaving, as he already knows how they are feeling and that they are living their life as they see fit. However, Dylan is still afraid of how it will feel when the person has to go away.

Even though he is heartbroken, Dylan is willing to let go and allow the person to go on their journey. He tells them to fly away on their life's flight and that they may someday return. He acknowledges that it is time for them to go and he can't keep holding on to them. He believes that perhaps leaving is for their own good and for his as well. Dylan reveals a sense of regret and remorse for past doubts and insecurities, but he is willing to accept the present and move forward.

Overall, the song conveys a message of acceptance and understanding that there are times when people need to move on, even if it is painful. It is a reflection of the universal experience of letting go of someone and trying to find peace in the decision.
