Koos Kombuis - Lisa se Klavier
Ek het 'n vriendin ver by die blou see
Teen die hang van Tafelberg, as die son sak, speel sy die mooiste melodiëe
Haar vingers ken die pad opgesluit in wit en swart
Die klavier se grootste vreugde, hartseer en verlange, verstaan die hart se diepste smart Koortjie:
Ja, die hele wereld word stil, en luister in die donker uur
Na die naggeluide van Lisa se Klavier
(x2) En Lisa kannie ophou as sy eers begin het nie,Koos Kombuis - Lisa se Klavier - http://motolyrics.com/koos-kombuis/lisa-se-klavier-lyrics-english-translation.html
En sy laat my nooit huistoe loop of afskeid neem voor my laaste sigaret nie
Ek staan op haar balkon, ek drink haar appelkoostee
Kyk uit na Kaapstad in die nag, die liggies, en die swart, swart see Koortjie (x2) En onder op die sypaadjie, sien ek die bergie en sy maat
Staan op en opkyk ver na bo, vannuit die vullis van Oranjestraat
Hul ken al lank die klanke wat uit haar woonstel stroom
Lank na twaalf, met die deure oop, al moan die bure ookal hoe,
Word Lisa elke boemelaar se droom
Koos Kombuis - Lisa's Piano (English translation)
I have a friend at the far blue sea
By the side of the Table Mountain, as the sun sets, she plays the most beautiful melodies
Her fingers know the way on the black and white
The piano's greatest joy, sadness and longing, nderstanding the heart's deepest pain
Chorus:
Yes, all the world falls silent and listens in the dark hours
To the nightly sounds of Lisa's Piano
(x2)
And Lisa can't stop if she first startedKoos Kombuis - Lisa se Klavier - http://motolyrics.com/koos-kombuis/lisa-se-klavier-lyrics-english-translation.html
And she doesn't let me go home or say goodbye, not for my last cigarette
I stadt on her balcony, I drink her apricot tea
Looking out to Cape Town in the night, the lights, and the black, black sea
Chorus (x2)
And down on the sidewalk, I see the beggar and his partner
Standing up and looking far up, from the garbage of Orange Street
They know the sounds will stream out of ner apartment all the time
Long after midnight, with the door open, all the neighbours are complaining about how
Lisa is becoming every beggar's dream
