Translation of the song Leja artist Die Heuwels Fantasties

Leja

Leia

Ek weet nie meer of ek jou hieruit gaan kan sien nie

I don't know anymore if I'll be able to see you through this

Sal ek ooit genoeg geld kan verdien

Will I ever be able to earn enough money

Die nag is koud

The night is cold

In die winter

During the winter

In die winter

During the winter

Toe ek jou gesien het vir die eerste keer

When I saw you for the first time

Leja

Ek kan nie meer onthou hoe dit gevoel het nie

I can no longer remember how it felt

Die paaie bly nat

The roads stay wet

In die winter

During the winter

In jou ma se oë

In your mother's eyes

Ons was tieners

We were teenagers

Ons kon glo in die dinge daarbo

We could believe in the things up there

In jou ma se oë

In your mother's eyes

Wou ek sien en wou ek glo

I wanted to see and I wanted to believe

Maar tye het verander

But times have changed

En ons raak nie jonger nie

And we aren't getting younger

Ek kan nie eers meer byhou nie

I can't even keep up with it anymore

Ons laaste avondsdrome versprei soos waterstrome

Our last night dreams scattered like water streams

Op die gras

On the grass

Op die gras

On the grass

Sit dit vas

Fasten it

Soos dit was

The way it was

Soos dit was

The way it was

Dan sal ons kan

Then we'll be able to

Maar jy's nou net die pen op 'n servet

But now you're just the pen on a napkin

Wat ek al weer, al weer iewers moes vergeet het

Which I must have forgotten somewhere again

Die onoorspronklikheid

The unoriginality

Nes afgeleide selfverwyt

Just like derivative self-reproach

Het ek myself hier uit

I wrote myself out

Uit hierdie storie uitgeskryf

Of this story

In jou ma se oë

In your mother's eyes

Ons was tieners

We were teenagers

Ons kon glo in die dinge daarbo

We could believe in the things up there

In jou ma se oë

In your mother's eyes

Wou ek sien en wou ek glo

I wanted to see and I wanted to believe

Maar tye het verander

But times have changed

En ons raak nie jonger nie

And we aren't getting younger

Ek kan nie eers meer byhou nie

I can't even keep up with it anymore

Ons laaste avondsdrome versprei soos waterstrome

Our last nightly dreams scattered like water streams

Op die gras

On the grass

Op die gras

On the grass

Sit dit vas

Fasten it

Soos dit was

The way it was

Soos dit was

The way it was

Ek kan nie eers meer byhou nie

I can't even hold on anymore

Leja

Leia

Sit dit vas

Fasten it

Soos dit was

The way it was

Soos dit was

The way it was

Dan sal ons kan

Then we'll be able to
