Translation of the song Komma artist Fokofpolisiekar

Afrikaans

Komma

English translation

Come again 1

In jou gesig is 'n sterrestelsel

In your face there's a solar system

Ek is 'n kind wat na die sterre kyk

I am a child who looks at the stars

As jy jou hande deur my hare vryf

When you run hands through my hair

In die donker voel ek weerloos, voel ek weer klein

In the dark I feel vulnerable, I feel small again

As die storm weer begin sanik

When the storm starts to moan again

Die berg brand en die boom om waai

Burns the mountain and blows the tree over

En as die vlamme aan my gordyne lek

And when the flames lick my curtains

Dan skryf ek vir ons 'n nuwe plek

Then I'll write us a new place

Want as die weer weer kom, sal dit kom om te bly

Because when the weather comes again, it's here to stay

Ek ken die skaamte en die kwesbaarheid

I know the shame and the vulnerability

Ek onthou ons het hardop gebid

And I remember we prayed out loud

En ek onthou ons het in ons skoolklere gevry

And I remember we kissed in our school uniforms

So ek skryf maar vir my 'n wegkruipplek

So I'll just write us a shelter

Want ek weet die weer sal weer kom om te bly

Because I know the weather will come to stay

Maar komma, komma, komma, komma weer

But come again, come again, come again, come again

Hierdie keer is ek gereed

This time I'm ready

Ek sal 'n byl in my hand hê

I'll have an axe in my hand

Partykeer moet jy iets oopbreek

Sometimes you have to break something open

Ek ken van in die hoek geskop word en gil

I know about being kicked into the corner and yelling

Jou teen die ruit stamp en ons albei kraak

Pushing you against a windowpane and we both creak

Ek skryf maar vir my 'n wegkruipplek

I'll just write myself a shelter

Daars 'n berg hout piele wat brand in pleks van my verstand

There's a pile of wood burning in place of my mind

Maar komma, komma, komma, komma weer

But come again, come again, come again, come again

Hierdie keer is ek gereed

This time I'm ready

In jou gesig is 'n sterrestelsel

In your face there's a solar system

Ek is 'n kind wat na die sterre kyk

I am a child who looks at the stars

As jy jou hande deur my hare vryf

When you run hands through my hair

In die donker voel ek weerloos, voel ek weer klein

In the dark I feel vulnerable, I feel small again
