[Verse 1]

Vyf jaar terug, 'n sonnige dag

Five years ago, a sunny day

My hart het geweet, sonder 'n vraag

My heart knew, without a question

Op ses-en-twintig Februarie,

On twenty-sixth February,

Het ek jou gekies, my liefling, vir ewig by my

I chose you, my darling, forever with me

[Chorus]

O, Sweetlips, my lief, my alles

Oh, Sweetlips, my love, my everything

Jy's die glimlag, die druk, die kus in my paleis

You're the smile, the hug, the kiss in my palace

Elke dag saam jou, 'n geskenk van Bo

Every day with you, a gift from Above

My Sweetlips, my liefde, ek sal altyd glo

My Sweetlips, my love, I will always believe

[Verse 2]

Jou lag is soos musiek, dit maak my vrolik

Your laugh is like music, it makes me joyful

Selfs as ek jou wakker soen, is jy so oulik

Even when I kiss you awake, you're so cute

Met jou aan my sy, 'n pikkewyn in ons droom

With you by my side, a penguin in our dream

Sal ons die wêreld reis, 'n lewe vol stroom

We will travel the world, a life full of flow

[Chorus]

O, Sweetlips, my lief, my alles

Oh, Sweetlips, my love, my everything

Jy's die glimlag, die druk, die kus in my paleis

You're the smile, the hug, the kiss in my palace

Elke dag saam jou, 'n geskenk van Bo

Every day with you, a gift from Above

My Sweetlips, my liefde, ek sal altyd glo

My Sweetlips, my love, I will always believe

[Bridge]

'n Ewigheid saam jou, is al wat ek vra

An eternity with you, is all I ask

My belofte aan jou, dit sal nooit vergaan

My promise to you, it will never fade

[Chorus]

O, Sweetlips, my lief, my alles

Oh, Sweetlips, my love, my everything

Jy's die glimlag, die druk, die kus in my paleis

You're the smile, the hug, the kiss in my palace

Elke dag saam jou, 'n geskenk van Bo

Every day with you, a gift from Above

My Sweetlips, my liefde, ek sal altyd glo

My Sweetlips, my love, I will always believe

Afrikaanse country met kitaar en viool. Moet n diep manstem hê. Moet wees vir sweetlips(wat ek my vrou noem). Moet dankie sê vir 5jr se getroude lewe, Vir elke dag se glimlag,druk en soen. Sing oor die beste besluit wat ek kon maak op 26 Februarie. Moet sing oor ek wat uitsien om n ewigheid saam haar en pikkewyn te spandeer,om die wereld deur te toer en nuwe mense te ontmoet. Moet noem hoe mal
