Sonvanger / Suncatcher

Kyk of jy vir my die son kan vang

Daar's 'n kamer in die huis waar ons die son kan hang

Dit is donker by die venster in die middel van die dag

Onthou jy nog hoe helder die kamer kon lag

 

Kyk of jy vir my die son kan bring

Daar's 'n liedjie in die gange waar die son kan sing

Want dis stil in die hoekie hierdie koue seisoen

Kan jy sien wat die wind en die reën aan my doen

 

Sonvanger ek vra jou mooi

Laat hom weer vir my kom skyn

Sonvanger laat my verstaan

Hoe 'n somer sommer so in die niet kan verdwyn

En laat hom skyn

 

Kyk of jy vir my die son kan kry

Daar's 'n huisie in my hart waar die son kan bly

Kyk of jy die son vir my kan steel

Daar's 'n plekkie in die tuin waar die son kan speel

 

Bring 'n bietjie lig vir die draaie op my pad

En 'n handjie vol strale vir die donker in my hart

So nice song - freely translated Suncatcher:

 

See if you can catch me the sun

There's a room in the house, where we can hang the sun

it is dark at the window during the middle of the day

Do you remember how brightly the room could laugh

 

see if you can bring me the sun,

There's a song in the corridors

that the sun can sing

because it's still in the corners

this cold season

Can you see

what the wind and the rain

is doing to me

 

Suncatcher

I am asking you nicely

Let it come and shine for me again

 

Suncatcher

Let me understand

how a summer can, just like that

vanish and disappear

 

See if you can get me the sun

In my heart there's a little house

where the sun can stay

See if you can steal me the sun

there's a place in the garden

where the sun can play

 

Bring a little light

to the corners on my way

and a handful of rays

for the darkness in my heart

 

 

Done
