[Intro – Playful melodic guitar and piano]
[Verse 1]
Jy stap verby en my aandag is by jou,
You walk by and my attention is on you,
voor ek myself kon bevind, dink my mond my vooruit.
before I could find myself, my mouth thinks ahead of me.
Jy glimlag net,
You just smile,
jy trek jou skouers op, maar jou oë vertel die ware verhaal.
you shrug your shoulders, but your eyes tell the true story.
Ek sien jou weer, jou oë nog vol lewe,
I see you again, your eyes still full of life,
my aandag nog steeds op jou,
my attention still on you,
al speel jy nog met my hart.
even though you're still playing with my heart.
[Pre-Chorus]
En hoe meer jy my laat aanhou raai,
And the more you keep me guessing,
hoe sterker wentel my gedagtes om jou.
the stronger my thoughts revolve around you.
En die dag toe jy hallo sê,
And the day you said hello,
knoop my tong van bloos.
my tongue tied from blushing.
[Chorus]
Jy laat my vinnig stap,
You make me walk fast,
sonder dat jy weet.
without you knowing.
Jy laat my vinnig stap,
You make me walk fast,
met geheime wat net ons twee weet.
with secrets only we two know.
Jy laat my vinnig stap,
You make me walk fast,
my hart spring sommer drie tree!
my heart just jumps three steps!
[Instrumental Hook]
[Verse 2]
Soos die son deur die gordyne skyn,
As the sun shines through the curtains,
sien ek jou hare deurmekaar.
I see your messy hair.
Jou glimlag rek saam met jou lyf,
Your smile stretches with your body,
en die oggendkoffie word saam met ons wakker.
and the morning coffee wakes up with us.
Op die tafel lê 'n briefie,
On the table lies a note,
'n paar woorde in jou eie handskrif.
a few words in your own handwriting.
Jy kry dit nog steeds reg ...
You still manage it...
en ek glimlag.
and I smile.
[Pre-Chorus]
Jy skryf van liefde, sneeu en duiwe,
You write of love, snow and doves,
jou woorde word deel van my.
your words become part of me.
'n Briefie op 'n tafel,
A note on a table,
'n droom vir jou en my.
a dream for you and me.
[Chorus]
Jy laat my vinnig stap,
You make me walk fast,
sonder dat jy weet.
without you knowing.
Jy laat my vinnig stap,
You make me walk fast,
met geheime wat net ons twee weet.
with secrets only we two know.
Jy laat my vinnig stap,
You make me walk fast,
my hart spring sommer drie tree!
my heart just jumps three steps!
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
Pluk die vrugte van my jeug
Pluck the fruits of my youth
en pak my onskuld in jou tas.
and pack my innocence in your bag.
Ek is nie meer dieselfde nie,
I am no longer the same,
nie soos ek altyd was.
not as I always was.
[Final Chorus]
Jy laat my vinnig stap,
You make me walk fast,
sonder dat jy weet.
without you knowing.
Jy laat my vinnig stap,
You make me walk fast,
met geheime wat net ons twee weet.
with secrets only we two know.
Jy laat my vinnig stap,
You make me walk fast,
my hart spring sommer drie tree!
my heart just jumps three steps!
Jy laat my vinnig stap,
You make me walk fast,
sonder dat jy weet.
without you knowing.
Jy laat my vinnig stap,
You make me walk fast,
met geheime wat net ons twee weet.
with secrets only we two know.
Jy laat my vinnig stap,
You make me walk fast,
my hart spring sommer drie tree!
my heart just jumps three steps!
[Outro – Memorable melodic instrumental ending]
