die ompad – the detour

die ompad is die beste                           the detour is the best

    gedeelte van die reis                             part of the journey

       as jy nie verlore raak nie                          if you don’t get lost

kan jy nie die regte pad vind nie                      you won’t find the right path

 

as jy ontmiddelik op                                     if unexpectedly you

jou drome                                                        come upon

aankom                                                                    your dreams

sal  jy veras word                                                         you will be surprised

 

drome is soos                                           dreams are like

     'n fyn skuldery                                           a fine painting

         elke streel                                                 each stroke

              van die verf                                             of the paint

 

elke kleur                                                  each colour

       elke toon                                                  each tone

              elke emosie                                              each emotion

 

uitgedink                                                   thought out

uitgebrei                                                    expanded

 

en dan skielik is dit                                  and then suddenly it is

wonderlik                                                  wonderful
