Ledige Praatjies

Dagbreek, the rising of the sun,

Ons moet end the ledige praatjies of the night,
Omdat the beautiful light has begun,
En die wieg van middag shines so bright.

Ek soek the quiet bemiddeling of life,

Maar some words just bring too much noise,
Let us choose a formele beraad over strife,
Of laat ons die soet stilte enjoy.

Ek sal keep quiet in terughoudendheid,

As dawn passes into high middag above,
Waardeur ware gesprekke are made,
En harte are ruled by nothing but love.
