Translation of the song Skildery artist Nádine (South Africa)
Skildery
Painting
Met water en kleure van liefde
With water and the colours of love,
Geduld en 'n rustige hart
Paitence and a calm heart
Dink ek aan jou mond
I think about your mouth,
Jou lippe en ons belofte
Your lips and our promise
Met skadu's en die lig van 'n liefde
With shadows and a romance's light,
Wat skyn uit die dieptes van jou
Which shines from the depths of you
Weet ek dit is reg
I know it's right,
Wat ek nou moet verf
What I must paint now,
Die lyne getrek
As I'm drawing the lines
Die lap teen die muur hang en staar al vir ure na my
The canvas hangs on the wall and has been staring at me for hours
Ek het n idee van n prent om te verf
I have an idea about a picture to paint,
Maar ek kan nie die kleure kry nie
But I just can't find the colours
Die lap wat daar hang is nog leeg
The canvas hanging in front of me is still empty
En eks bang want ek weet ek verf buite die lyne
And I'm afraid because I know I'm painting out of the line
Maar sal jy die prent wees wat ek verf
But will you be the picture that I'm painting
In my skildery
In my painting
In my skildery
In my painting
Geduldig vol liefde en rustig lê ek
Patient and full of love, I'm quietly lying
Elke deel van jou neer
Every part of you down
Want dit wat ons het, is veel meer as net
Because this, what we have, i a lot more than
Dit was woorde kan sê
What words could say
Die lap teen die muur hang en staar al vir ure na my
The canvas hangs on the wall and has been staring at me for hours
Ek het n idee van n prent om te verf
I have an idea about a picture to paint,
Maar ek kan nie die kleure kry nie
But I just can't find the colours
Die lap wat daar hang is nog leeg
The canvas hanging in front of me is still empty
En eks bang want ek weet ek verf buite die lyne
And I'm afraid because I know I'm painting out of the line
Maar sal jy die prent wees wat ek verf
But will you be the picture that I'm painting
In my skildery
In my painting
In my skildery
In my painting
Al maak ek foute
Although I make mistakes,
Sal ek weer begin
I will start again
Die lap teen die muur hang en staar al vir ure na my
The canvas hangs on the wall and has been staring at me for hours
Ek het n idee van n prent om te verf
I have an idea about a picture to paint,
Maar ek kan nie die kleure kry nie
But I just can't find the colours
Die lap wat daar hang is nog leeg
The canvas hanging in front of me is still empty
En eks bang want ek weet ek verf buite die lyne
And I'm afraid because I know I'm painting out of the line
Maar sal jy die prent wees wat ek verf
But will you be the picture that I'm painting
In my skildery
In my painting
In my skildery
In my painting
