Lirieke
I sit in the salt water, call in a vision of my daughter
– Ek sit in die soutwater, roep in’n visie van my dogter
Light a candle, place my grief upon the altar
– Steek’n kers aan, plaas my hartseer op die altaar
Bird in my hands, a flower, a song
– Voël in my hande, ‘n blom, ‘n lied
I used to think I knew what sadness was
– Ek het gedink ek het geweet wat hartseer is
I was wrong
– Ek was verkeerd
A piece of flesh, a million pounds
– ‘n stukkie vleis, ‘n miljoen pond
Am I a woman now?
– Is ek nou’n vrou?
A crescent moon, an apple sliced
– ‘n sekelmaan, ‘n appel wat in skywe gesny is
Thick in the sky
– Dik in die lug
The air smells of fruit and smoke
– Die lug ruik na vrugte en rook
The season is ripe
– Die seisoen is ryp
I stay in the house, move the furniture about
– Ek bly in die huis, beweeg die meubels rond
Try and control what I can
– Probeer beheer wat ek kan
And feel the world slip through my hand
– En voel hoe die wêreld deur my hand glip
You can have it all
– Jy kan alles hê
You can have it all
– Jy kan alles hê
Dug a hole in the garden and buried a scream
– Het’n gat in die tuin gegrawe en’n geskreeu begrawe
And from it grew a bright red tree
– En daaruit het’n helderrooi boom gegroei
Shining with jagged leaves
– Blink met gezaagde blare
And when the wind blows, you can hear it
– En as die wind waai, kan jy dit hoor
Dug a hole in the garden and buried a scream
– Het’n gat in die tuin gegrawe en’n geskreeu begrawe
And from it grew a bright red tree
– En daaruit het’n helderrooi boom gegroei
Shining with jagged leaves
– Blink met gezaagde blare
And when the wind blows, you can hear it
– En as die wind waai, kan jy dit hoor
You can have it all
– Jy kan alles hê
You can have it all
– Jy kan alles hê
(You can have it all)
– (Jy kan dit alles kry)
A piece of flesh, a million pounds
– ‘n stukkie vleis, ‘n miljoen pond
Am I a woman now?
– Is ek nou’n vrou?
(You can have it all)
– (Jy kan dit alles kry)
Tree grows tall, can’t cut me down
– Boom groei hoog, kan my nie afkap nie
Am I a woman now?
– Is ek nou’n vrou?
