Mag Ek Jou Nooit Vergeet nie
Ray Dylan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ek kry jou by die deur
Met jou rug na my gedraai
Verniet verniel verskeur
En net ‘n sagte seer goodbye

Mag ek jou nooit vergeet nie
En mag my hart jou nooit laat gaan
Sal my hande dan verleer hoe
Hulle voel op my kitaar?

En sal my woorde oor die see waai
As ek jou liefde sou verloor?
En mag ek jou nooit vergeet nie
En mag ek altyd aanhou glo

Al’s klaar gepak en hartseer
Jy sê jy wil net ry
Ek wou nog aan jou vat maar
Jy sê verby is verby

Mag ek jou nooit vergeet nie
En mag my hart jou nooit laat gaan
Sal my hande dan verleer hoe
Hulle voel op my kitaar?

En sal my woorde oor die see waai
As ek jou liefde sou verloor?
En mag ek jou nooit vergeet nie
Mag ek altyd aanhou glo
En mag ek altyd aanhou glo

Mag ek jou nooit vergeet nie
En mag my hart jou nooit laat gaan
Sal my hande dan verleer hoe
Hulle voel op my kitaar?

Ek sal my woorde oor die see waai
As ek jou liefde sou verloor
En mag ek jou nooit vergeet nie




En mag ek altyd aanhou glo
Mag ek jou nooit vergeet nie

Overall Meaning

The song "Mag Ek Jou Nooit Vergeet Nie" by Ray Dylan is a poignant tribute to an unforgettable love that was lost. The opening imagery of the song sets the tone for a heart-wrenching story - the singer has come to the door of his love, who has turned her back to him. The singer describes the love that was once shared between them as "verniet verniel verskeur" (destroyed, ruined, torn apart) and sadly says goodbye, feeling a soft pain as they part ways. The song's refrain asks for two things: that he never forgets her, and that his heart never lets her go. He also wonders whether he'll still be able to play his guitar if he forgets her, or if his words will be carried away by the sea if he loses her love.


Throughout the song, the singer expresses his deep feelings of loss and sorrow. They know that it's time to move on, and even though they want to reach out and hold onto their love, it's clear that it's over. The singer's plea is for their love to remain alive in his heart, even as the relationship ends. The lyrics convey a sense of deep pain and regret, but also an unwavering belief in the power of true love, and the hope that it will live on forever.


"Mag Ek Jou Nooit Vergeet Nie" is a touching, emotional song about love, loss, and longing. The lyrics speak to the universal human experience of losing someone you love and the struggle to let go of cherished memories. The song is a beautiful tribute to love and reminds the listener of the power of true, enduring love.


Line by Line Meaning

Ek kry jou by die deur
I found you at the door


Met jou rug na my gedraai
You had your back turned to me


Verniet verniel verskeur
Destroyed and torn apart for no reason


En net ‘n sagte seer goodbye
And just a gentle, painful goodbye


Mag ek jou nooit vergeet nie
May I never forget you


En mag my hart jou nooit laat gaan
And may my heart never let you go


Sal my hande dan verleer hoe
Would my hands then forget how


Hulle voel op my kitaar?
To play you on my guitar?


En sal my woorde oor die see waai
And would my words blow over the sea


As ek jou liefde sou verloor?
If I were to lose your love?


Al’s klaar gepak en hartseer
Everything is packed and sad


Jy sê jy wil net ry
You say you just want to drive


Ek wou nog aan jou vat maar
I wanted to hold you, but


Jy sê verby is verby
You say that it's over


Mag ek altyd aanhou glo
May I always keep believing
