Lyrics

Ek skryf die woorde

Rympies maak en stories skryf is al wat ek kan doen
Doen dit al van kindsbeen af, na my eerste soen
Dit was 'n bruin oog seun, sy naam was Hans du Preez
Nou is liedjies skryf my daagliks doen saam met rose tee

Op ongelee tye kom die woorde soos 'n newel
In my boeretroos of saam met die knoffel krewels
In die kerk as Dominee langsaam en ernstig preek
Dis net die tyd wat 'n liedjie lyn //sy kop uit steek

Ek skryf die woorde wat met jou hart kom praat
As die son nie skyn en jou glimlag weg wil raak
En die stories word 'n tas vir jou seer siel
As dit donker word en die mensdom jou verniel
In blou akkoorde, ek skryf die woorde.

Somtyds bring die geelvink se maat al die woorde
Van 'n vreemdeling se hartseer uit die Noorde
Of 'n tolbos warrel nuwe ware lessse
Tussen wilgertakke en die lang ry sipresse

Mag daar elke dag 'n nuwe rympie wees
Waarin jy jou eie lewens lyn kan sien en lees
As stories skryf al is wat ek kan doen
Mag dit jou glimlag bring soos daai eerste soen

Ek skryf die woorde wat met jou hart kom praat
As die son nie skyn en jou glimlag weg wil raak
En die stories word 'n tas vir jou seer siel
As dit donker word en die mensdom jou verniel
In blou akooorde, ek skryf die woorde.

Solo

Ek skryf die woorde wat met jou hart kom praat
As die son nie skyn en jou glimlag weg wil raak
En al die stories word 'n tas vir jou seer siel
As dit donker word en die mensdom jou verniel
In in blou akkoorde, ek skryf die woorde

I'm not qualified to say much about the lyrics, but the music is very commercial and it sounds like something that could be done by ABBA to me. All the instrumental performances, the voices, the arrangement and the production sound professional.

Nice instrumentation. Nice contemporary sound. Very relaxing. Unfortunately I don't understand the language being spoken. So, I can't give accurate feedback on the lyrics. But, it's sounds nice. Good job.
