Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Toe Selina my kom roep
Ntati die nooi is soek
Sy't geloop sy't nie gegroet
En sewentig maal sewe
Kon ons mekaar vergewe
Maar dié keer was genoeg
Stuur my 'n Sms
Sê jy is terug na ses
Sê jy't ook iets besef
Met die tyd kom alles reg
Ek was net 'n rukkie weg
Ek was ses uur op die stoep
Toe die selfoon na my roep
Tussen woorde wat my vloek
Kon ek sien waarna jy soek
Ek kon maar net reply
En verstaan hoe die wind nou waai
Ntati jy moet weer draai
Sê Selina om die draai
Stuur my 'n Sms
Sê jy is terug na ses
Sê jy't ook iets besef
Met die tyd kom alles reg
Ek was net 'n rukkie weg
Yebo yebo yes dan lui die ding na ses
Die woorde wat daar staan
Wil jy net behaal
En ek skryf
Ek stuur 'n Sms
Ek sien jou net na ses
Ek het ook iets besef
Met die tyd kom alles reg
Ek was net 'n rukkie weg
Ek stuur 'n Sms
Ek sien jou net na ses
Ek het ook iets besef
Met die tyd kom alles reg
Ek was net 'n rukkie weg
Ek was net 'n rukkie weg
The lyrics of Wynand Strydom's song "SMS Song" tell a story of a protagonist who is on a stoop at six o'clock when Selina comes and calls him. It seems that there is some tension between them as another girl named Ntati has walked past without greeting. The lyrics mention that forgiveness has been possible before but this time it was enough, indicating that there might have been previous conflicts between Selina and the singer.
The chorus introduces the theme of communication through text messages. The singer asks Selina to send him an SMS (text message) saying that she is back at six o'clock and that she has also realized something. He believes that with time, everything will be okay, as the line "With time, everything will be okay" suggests. The singer explains that he was just away for a short while.
Later in the song, the singer mentions being on the stoop again at six o'clock when his cellphone rings. He sees that Selina is looking for something and there are words that curse him. He can only reply and understand how the wind is blowing, suggesting that he wants Selina to turn around and reconsider. The lyrics then repeat the chorus, emphasizing the singer's desire for communication and reconciliation through text messages.

Ek was ses uur op die stoep
I was waiting on the stoop at six o'clock
Toe Selina my kom roep
Then Selina called me
Ntati die nooi is soek
Ntati, the girl, is missing
Sy't geloop sy't nie gegroet
She walked away without greeting
En sewentig maal sewe
And seventy times seven
Kon ons mekaar vergewe
We could forgive each other
Maar dié keer was genoeg
But this time was enough
Vir riesie was ons moeg
For a while, we were tired

Ek was net 'n rukkie weg
I was just away for a while
Ek was ses uur op die stoep
I was waiting on the stoop at six o'clock
Toe die selfoon na my roep
Then the cellphone called me
Tussen woorde wat my vloek
Between words that cursed me
Kon ek sien waarna jy soek
I could see what you were looking for
Ek kon maar net reply
I could only reply
En verstaan hoe die wind nou waai
And understand which way the wind blows now
Ntati jy moet weer draai
Ntati, you must turn around again
Sê Selina om die draai

Yebo yebo yes dan lui die ding na ses
Yes, yes, then the thing rings after six
Die woorde wat daar staan
The words that are there
Wil jy net behaal
Do you just want to achieve?
En ek skryf
And I write
Ek stuur 'n Sms
I send a text message
Ek sien jou net na ses
I see you only after six
Ek het ook iets besef
I have also realized something

I was just away for a while
Ek was net 'n rukkie weg
I was just away for a while
