Translation of the song Klipgooi Glashuis artist Fokofpolisiekar

Afrikaans

Klipgooi Glashuis

English translation

Throwing Stones at Glass Houses

Moenie bang wees nie gee jouself weg

Don't be scared to give yourself away

Vir absoluut niks nie

for absolutely nothing

Word deel van die battery waarna niemand sal luister nie

Become a part of the battery to whom nobody listens

Ons is in elk geval

In any case, we are

Dieselfde

The same

Koolstof kopieë met slange vir vriende

Carbon copies with snakes for friends

Dwelms is skelm en het al my woorde gesteel

Drugs are sneaky and have stolen all of my words

Ons soek 'n podium

I want a podium

Iets van betekenis nou dat ons ouer is

Something of meaning now that we are older

Word die rook al hoe dikker in

The smoke is more thickly

My longe ingeasem

Inhaled into my lungs

Doen ons Prozac in plaas van Ritalin, drink ons op jou wat sy drome kan onthou

We do Prozac instead of Ritalin, we drink to him who can remember

Jy's nie generies nie, ek's net pateties dis redelik frusterend maar ek wil net iets warm vashou

his dreams

Die emosionele hel

You are not generic, I'm just pathetic it's quite frustrating but I just want

Waarin ek myself bevind nou dat ons kouer is

to hold something warm

Word die rook al hoe dikker in

The emotional hel

Ons atmosfeer in gebliksem

I find myself in now that we are colder

'n Weermag hyskrane op die horison beskerm jou deur om jouself toe te bou

The smoke is more thickly

Vasgepleister in woonkamers in voorstede soek ons grasie van ons doemprofete

emitted into the atmosphere

Ek lys my nuweweeks-voornemings magteloos

An army of cranes on the horizon protect yourself by closing yourself off

Verplig en beskuldig, inspirasie vasgeverf in wit, nou dat ons, ons ouers is

Plastered into living rooms in the suburbs we look for grace from our prophets of doom

Word die rook al hoe dikker in

Oblidged and accused, inspiration painted away in white, now that we are our parents

My longe ingeasem

The smoke is more thickly

Doen ons Prozac in plaas van Ritalin, drink ons op jou wat sy drome kan onthou

Inhaled into my lungs
