Chris van der Westhuizen

Ek kyk na rooi rose,
dis vars gepluk vir jou.
Die blou lug skyn so helder,
want ekke kyk na jou!

Ek hou van soet water,
in stroompies vloei dit blou,
vol glinsterende golfies -
want ekke hou van jou!

Ek is lief vir braaivleis,
’n spitbraai sal ook gaan,
die soet reuk van kole -
want ekke’s lief vir jou!

Ek glo in die liefde,
die vertroue in mekaar,
die lekkerte van menswees -
want ekke glo in jou!

Ek soek na ’n dansmaat,
’n dansie net met jou,
die dans van die lewe -
want, ekke soek vir jou!

I long for you!

I look at red roses -
Freshly picked for you.
The blue sky shines so brightly
Because I'm looking at you!

I love sweet water,
In streams flowing blue,
With glittering little ripples -
Because I care for you!

I'm fond of a barbecue,
A spit-roast will do just fine.
The sweet scent of the coals -
Because I’m in love with you!

I believe in true love,
In trust between two hearts,
In the joy of simply being -
Because I believe in you!

I’m longing for a dance partner,
A little dance with you -
The dance of life itself -
Because I long for you.
