Translation of the song Die Boom artist Monique Steyn
Die Boom
The Tree
Ek is die saadjie in die grond
I am the little seed in the ground
Hy gooi sy water oral om my
He pours his water everywhere around me
My wortels vasgegroei in Hom
My roots engrained in Him
Totdat my eerste blare son kry
Until my fisrt leaves get sunlight
Hy gee my lewe elke dag
He gives my life every day
Beskerm my met al Sy mag
He protects me with all his power
Teen warm son en koue nag
Against the warm sun and the cold night
Hy is die boom in die aarde wat Sy takke sprei as storms val
He is the tree in the earth, which spreads his branches if the storms come
Ek hoof nooit te vrees nie want ek
I never have to fear because I know
Weet Hy sal my altyd in Sy skadu hou
He would keep me always in his shadow
Die boom van die lewe wat my veilig hou tot ek my takke sprei
The tree of my life, which keeps me safe until I spread my branches
En 'n ander ook beskerm net soos Hy
And noone protects me just as He,
Want ek lewe net vir Hom en Hy vir my
Because I live only for Him and He only for me
U maak my sterker elke uur
You make me stronger every hour
In brande hou U al die vuur weg
You keep the fire away if it burns
My vrugte vorm uit U gees
My fruits form from Your spirit
Met U langs my sal ek niks vrees nie mmm
With You on my side I would never be afraid of anything mmm
Hy gee my lewe elke dag
He gives my life every day
Beskerm my met al Sy mag
He protects me with all his power
Teen warm son en koue nag
Against the warm sun and the cold night
Hy is die boom in die aarde wat Sy takke sprei as storms val
He is the tree in the earth, which spreads his branches if the storms come
Ek hoof nooit te vrees nie want ek
I never have to fear because I know
Weet Hy sal my altyd in Sy skadu hou
He would keep me always in his shadow
Die boom van die lewe wat my veilig hou tot ek my takke sprei
The tree of my life, which keeps me safe until I spread my branches
En 'n ander ook beskerm net soos Hy
And noone protects me just as He,
Want ek lewe net vir Hom en Hy vir my
Because I live only for Him and He only for me
Hy gee my lewe elke dag
He gives my life every day
Beskerm my met al Sy mag
He protects me with all his power
Teen warm son en koue nag
Against the warm sun and the cold night
Hy is die bron van al my krag
He is the source of all my strengh
Hy is die boom in die aarde wat Sy takke sprei as storms val
He is the tree in the earth, which spreads his branches if the storms come
Ek hoof nooit te vrees nie want ek
I never have to fear because I know
Weet Hy sal my altyd in Sy skadu hou
He would keep me always in his shadow
Die boom van die lewe wat my veilig hou tot ek my takke sprei
The tree of my life, which keeps me safe until I spread my branches
En 'n ander ook beskerm net soos Hy
And noone protects me just as He,
Want ek lewe net vir Hom en Hy vir my
Because I live only for Him and He only for me
