Sy is Vuur

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wat hier in my brand
Ek bly soek na beter skuiling
Teen die vlamme in haar vanaand
Sy is die weerlig
Wat hier teen my slaan
Sy laat die hare in my nek bly rys
En ek weet baie goed ek’s verlore hier onder die sekelmaan
En te lankal geweet dat sy my weer laat droom soos ‘n regte man
Sy weet hoe om my oop te breek en my wapens te laat val
Sy moedig my aan
Sy laat my staan
As sy redeneer my hart regeer en my weerloos langs haar los
Sy is gestuur
Sy is vuur
Sy ken my sterkpunt
Sy ken my seer
Sy’s die een wat altyd sê
Ons kan altyd weer probeer
Sy is ‘n anker
Wat my heel kan maak
Wat ook al slaan die donderweer
Sou ek self daaraan wou raak
En ek weet baie goed ek’s verlore hier onder die sekelmaan
En te lankal geweet dat sy my weer laat droom soos ‘n regte man
Sy weet hoe om my oop te breek en my wapens te laat val
Sy moedig my aan
Sy laat my staan
As sy redeneer my hart regeer en my weerloos langs haar los
Sy is gestuur
Sy is vuur
Dis as die weerlig slaan
Hoe jy dit nie verstaan
Hoe ‘n vrou ‘n man se hart se klop ‘n slag sal laat oorstaan
Dis as die tyd stilstaan
En soos die res ook gaan
Wat ‘n man se harte dat hy herken sy is sy oorgaan?
Sy weet hoe om my oop te breek en my wapens te laat val
Sy moedig my aan
Sy laat my staan
As sy redeneer my hart regeer en my weerloos langs haar los
Sy is gestuur
Sy is vuur
Sy weet hoe om my oop te breek en my wapens te laat val
Sy moedig my aan
Sy laat my staan
Sy redeneer my hart regeer en my weerloos langs haar los
Sy is gestuur
Sy is vuur
Sy is gestuur
Sy is vuur

Sy is die vuur
She is the fire that burns inside of me
Wat hier in my brand
That consumes me
Ek bly soek na beter skuiling
I keep searching for a better shelter
Teen die vlamme in haar vanaand
Against the flames in her tonight
Sy is die weerlig
She is the lightning that strikes against me
Wat hier teen my slaan
That makes the hairs on my neck stand up
Sy laat die hare in my nek bly rys
And paralyzes me when she goes
En verlam my as sy gaan
And I know I'm lost under the moon's sickle
En ek weet baie goed ek’s verlore hier onder die sekelmaan
And for too long I've known she'll make me dream like a real man again
En te lankal geweet dat sy my weer laat droom soos ‘n regte man
Sy weet hoe om my oop te breek en my wapens te laat val
She knows how to break me down and disarm me
Sy moedig my aan
She encourages me
Sy laat my staan
She makes me stand
As sy redeneer my hart regeer en my weerloos langs haar los
When she speaks, my heart rules and I become defenseless beside her
Sy is gestuur
She was sent to me
Sy ken my sterkpunt
She knows my strengths
Sy ken my seer
She knows my pain
Sy’s die een wat altyd sê
She's the one who always says
Ons kan altyd weer probeer
We can always try again
Sy is ‘n anker
She's an anchor
Wat my heel kan maak
That can make me whole
Wat ook al slaan die donderweer
No matter what the thunderstorm brings
Sou ek self daaraan wou raak
Even if I would want to give up on it
Dis as die weerlig slaan
It's when the lightning strikes
Hoe jy dit nie verstaan
How you don't understand
Hoe ‘n vrou ‘n man se hart se klop ‘n slag sal laat oorstaan
How a woman's heartbeat can make a man's heart skip a beat
Dis as die tyd stilstaan
It's when time stands still
En soos die res ook gaan
And just like the rest
Wat ‘n man se harte dat hy herken sy is sy oorgaan?
What does a man's heart recognize when he meets his match?
Sy weet hoe om my oop te breek en my wapens te laat val
She knows how to break me down and disarm me
Sy moedig my aan
She encourages me
Sy laat my staan
She makes me stand
Sy redeneer my hart regeer en my weerloos langs haar los
When she speaks, my heart rules and I become defenseless beside her
Sy is gestuur
She was sent to me
Sy is vuur
She is fire
Sy is gestuur
She was sent to me
Sy is vuur
She is fire
