Soutwater - Bok van Blerk

ek is nou net soos n man,

gehawende ruiene waar daar eens lewe was.

huiden wie se luppe

op n plek op n tyd in joune kom verdwyn en weer bekeering kry,

die windpomp draai maar daar is niks, net stof in die krane

ek kort jou liefde om my dors te les want hier is net trane.

eke is dors ek raak verlore in die straate waar ek bly

eke is dors eke wil dronk raak op jou wyn.

maar hier waar ek bly is dit net

sout water en woestyn net sout water en woestyn

ek is nou nog net soos n man in n verlate, huis waar daar eens lewe was

nie n geval van same syn op n plek op n tyd

jy was my asem in die woestyn

die windpomp draai ek sukkel om te slaap, ek kort jou boesem om my kop te rus

hier is net klippe en sand

eke is dors ek raak verlore in die strate waar ek bly

eke is dors eke wil dronk raak op jou wyn maar hier waar ek bly is dit net sout

water en woestyn net sout water en woestyn.

is dit net sout water en woestyn.

eke is dors ek word verlore in die strate waar ek bly eke is dors ek wil dronk

raak op jou wyn.

I'm just like a man now,

battered ruins where there was once life.

skins as they loupe

in a place at a time in yours come disappear and repent again,

the wind pump turns but there is nothing, just dust in the taps

I need your love to quench my thirst because here are just tears.

eke is thirsty i get lost in the streets where i live

eke is thirsty eke wants to get drunk on your wine.

but here where I live it's just

salt water and desert only salt water and desert

I'm still like a man in an abandoned house where there used to be life

not a case of being together in one place at a time

you were my breath in the desert

the windmill turns I struggle to sleep, I need your bosom to rest my head

here is only stones and sand

eke is thirsty i get lost in the streets where i live

eke is thirsty eke wants to get drunk on your wine but here where I live it's just salt

water and desert just salt water and desert.

is it just salt water and desert.

eke is thirsty i get lost in the streets where i live eke is thirsty i want to get drunk

touch on your wine.
