Country: United States (United States) Afrikaans song lyrics
Postby torero23 » 2010-08-11, 19:14 I was wondering if any of you guys knew of a website that has lyrics to Afrikaans songs. I learn a lot of my vocabulary through songs (I can't stand learning from lists) and its easier to learn through songs if you have the words in front you To be specific, I'm looking for "Sê my hoe" by Monique, "Jy kan my nie vang nie" also by Monique and "Wat ek dink" by Corsette. Those are the only three songs I have in Afrikaans so far. Thanks for any help!
Postby Shiba » 2010-08-11, 20:41 I don't know those songs (the titles are familiar, though) but I can recommend you some good ones - Tyd om te Trek, Die Kaplyn and De La Rey (all sung by Bok van Blerk and available as music videos on YouTube) come to mind. I could give you the lyrics for those if you like - they're all good songs with meaning, and De La Rey was quite a cultural anthem for a while there. (Relates to the Boer War.)

Postby torero23 » 2010-08-13, 0:38 That'd be awesome if you could get me the lyrics for those songs. I actually really liked them. Baie dankie!
Postby Shiba » 2010-08-15, 8:42 Geen probleem nie! By the way, should I post the lyrics here, or send them to you by personal message?
Postby torero23 » 2010-08-16, 2:36 Here is fine. And if you have any other recommendations of Afrikaans singers, let me know (I know that gets asked a lot around here, so if their is another thread for this, sorry).
Postby Shiba » 2010-08-16, 9:08 Sure. And it's no problem. The thread for music and poetry is actually here, so you can always use that in future. Still, it's not a problem.As for other Afrikaans singers, well, it probably depends on which music genres you like. I'm not very clued-up on our singers, but I can always ask my brother, who has quite an extensive playlist. I do recommend Juanita du Plessis though, from what I have heard of her, which admittedly isn't much.Tyd om te TrekVers 1:Ek het jou nie verloor nie, maar wat het jou gewen?Jou paspoor op die tafel het my hier vasgepenJy sê daar kom 'n oorlog wat diep daarin jou brandJy vra kom ek saam na waar jy moet gaan?Jy sê dis....Refrein:Tyd om te trek, om jou hart te vat! Jy sê dis nie om ons uitmekaar te spat Maar jou woorde aan my: wil ek hier agterbly?Want as jy vra, moes jy vra, maar jy't my gesê Van jou 'wyse plan'; is dit wat jy wou hê?Daar's geen plek vir jou hier; jy sê dis tyd om te trek!Verse 2:Daar is soveel meer wat ek wou sêEn wat ek oor wou hê; maar hier in donker Afrika,Wat soveel van ons vra.. wat sou dit kos om net te blyJou woorde was te duur Want wat jy wou sê was geskryf teen die muur -RefreinDie KaplynVers 1:Tussen bosse en bomeTussen grense wag ons almal vir môreMaar op agttien was ons almal verloreHoe kan ons verstaan?En wie weeg nou ons leweWant net God alleen weet waarooor ons beweWant op agttien wou ons almal net leweNet een slag toe was jou lewe verbyRefrein 1:Roep jy na my?Roep jy my terug na die Kaplyn, my vriend?Deur die jare het die wêreld gedraaiToe ons jonk was hoe sou ons dit kon raai?Soek jy na my?Soek jy my nou in die stof en jou bloed?Jy't gesê jy hoor hoe God na jou roepToe's dit als verby...Vers 2:Na al hierdie jareVêr verlore dryf ons rond in ons dadeNet soldate leef met grense se skadeHoe kan ons verstaan?Want daai bos vreet ons sporeIn die donker bos was broeders geboreIn die donker saam gebid vir 'n môreNet een slag toe was jou lewe verby...Refrein 2:Roep jy na my?Roep jy my terug na die Kaplyn my vriend?Deur die jare het die wêreld gedraaiToe ons jonk was hoe sou ons dit kon raai?Waar is jy nou?Is jou naam dan op ons mure behou?Jy was nooit vereer en niemand gaan nouOor jou lewe skryf en wat jy nog wouEn by daardie mureStaan ek vir ureMaar waar's jou naam nou, my vriend?Kan hul nie verstaan?Jul soldate vergaan – sonder rede dra hulle die blaam!Refrein 2En by daardie mureStaan ek vir ureEn by daardie mureStaan ek vir ure...

Postby Ludwig Whitby » 2010-08-16, 10:05 I know a couple hip-hop singers. The most popular is of course Die Antwoord(though they usually rap in a mix of Afrikaans and English) , and Jack Parow, than there is Fokofpolisiekar, a punk/rock band.. And that's all I know actually. Top
Postby Shiba » 2010-08-16, 10:49 Nice, if I remember correctly some of my friends like Die Antwoord. I haven't heard them myself, though (not really a hip-hop listener). Polisiekar and Jack Parow have less wonderful reputations though, unfortunately, they like keeping things dirty >.< although Polisiekar does have one or two songs that are okay, neither they nor Parow are hearable if you understand what they're saying ^^;;

Postby Reinder » 2011-05-21, 11:45 Here are two songs with lyrics, I don't know if they're 100% right, but they are pretty okay, I think.Alleen Na Desember - 4Hoekige3KantDie dood is ons gewaarborg! My gevoelens verander met seisoene.Die winter was so koud.Hoor ek dink iets van jou met aan my vas gevries.Sê my ja, sê my ja, sodat ek hier kan inpas.Sê my ja, sê my ja, is daar iewers waar ek in pas?Sê my ja, sê my ja, sodat ek hier kan inpas.Sê my jaaaaaa is daar iewers waar ek in pas? Alles leuns waarmee ek my aandag verkry.Ons lewe in wat was en vergeet wat ons is.Wat help dit ons blaai.Blaai i nuwe bladsy maar is in die selfde storie vasgekeer,dieselfde storie vasgekeer.Sê my ja, sê my ja, sodat ek hier kan inpas.Sê my ja, sê my ja, is daar iewers waar ek in pas?Sê my ja, sodat ek hier kan inpas.Sê my jaaaaaa, is daar iewers waar ek in pas?Oh oh oh oh ...Oh oh oh oh ...Sê my ja, sê my ja,sodat ek hier kan inpas.Sê my ja, sê my ja,is daar iewers waar ek in pas?Sê my ja, sodat ek hier kan inpas.Sê my jaaaaaa, is daar iewers waar ek in pas?---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Alleen Na Desember - Gemaklik verskrikOnthou jy laat in die aande hoe ek skelm jou hand vas hou.Hou net, hou﻿ net hierdie ritme daar.Ek het alweer, ek het alweer op iemand se bank uit gepaas.So gemaklik verskrik soms deurmekaar gepluk.Beste﻿ vriende maar ons sal wys meer en meer Al skree ons of in stilte sit.Ons soen het oopgegaan my tyd was verkeerdAs ons tyd kon maak sou ons tyd kon keer.Tussen duisend mense sien jy my raak.﻿ (Ek staan net daar, ek staan net daar) Ons het so ontmoet en ek het genader, genader om jou te vra:Wat's die kans dat ek saam jou kan huis toe gaan, belowe ek sal net praat, ons gaan net praat.﻿ Nie 'n woord te sê nie en ek dink ek het jou lyftaal reg gelees.Beste﻿ vriende maar ons sal wys meer en meerAl skree ons of in stilte sit.Ons soen het oopgegaan my tyd was verkeerdAs ons tyd kon maak sou ons tyd kon keer.Ek kan dit nie, (ek kan dit nie),gestraand was nie 'n droom gewees nie.Ek kan dit nie, (ek kan dit nie),gestraand was nie 'n droom gewees nie.Beste﻿ vriende maar ons sal wys meer en meerAl skree ons of in stilte sit.Ons soen het oopgegaan my tyd was verkeerdAs ons tyd kon maak sou ons tyd kon keer.Yeeaah!(Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh ...)
