I'm completely in love with this song from the first time I listened to it. And I have to mention, I cried watching Leading Lady, it's one of the movies I added to the list of the ones that touched my heart, and will always remember.
God, I love this song, I've loved it since the first time, and I don't understand a single freaking word. That's the power of music right there people.
I know what they mean individually, but i haven't quite figured out what they mean as a hole. It means something in the line of him needing a girl to keep him grounded.
For those who wanted the English translation... I hope this helps (My first language is Afrikaans and I thought I could translate it for all of you. Google translate can't pick up the context/meaning of the lyrics and is translating it weird) I am now just like a man broken in ruin, where there once was life. A heathen who's lips, at a place, at a time, could disappear into yours and repent again The wind pump turns but there is nothing just dust in the faucets I need your love to quench my thirst because here there are only tears I am thirsty I get lost in the streets where I live I am thirsty I want to get drunk on your wine But here where I live It's just saltwater and desert Just saltwater and desert I am still just like a man A desolated house, where there once was life walls filled with togetherness at a place, at a time. You were my oasis in the desert The wind pump turns I'm struggling to sleep I need your bosom to rest my head on Here there are only rocks and sand I am thirsty I get lost in the streets where I live I am thirsty I want to get drunk on your wine But here where I live It's just saltwater and desert Just saltwater and desert It's just saltwater and desert Just saltwater and desert I am thirsty I get lost in the streets where I live I am thirsty I want to get drunk on your wine
10 jaar in die midde ooste...."hier waar ek bly is dit net sout water en woestyn"....weereens, die songs van Bok wat soveel betekenis het....brilliant!!
Ben ik de enige Nederlander die deze muziek echt geweldig vind? Het klinkt zo apart, ik versta een paar woorden, maar het geheel dan weer niet, echt een mooi nummer!
+Estelle Bienfait Ek is 'n Suid-Afrikaner, ek kan ook net 'n bietjie uitmaak wat jy sê. Maar dit is interessant hoe naby ons tale van mekaar is. Maar ja dit is 'n mooi lied.
lyricstranslate.com/en/soutwater-saltwater.html#ixzz5ERyf9aap Saltwater I'm now only like a man, a battered ruin, where there once was life. A heathen whose lips someplace, sometime, could disappear into yours and find salvation again. The windpump turns, but there's nothing, just dust in the taps. I need your love to quench my thirst, because here there are only tears. Ref.: I'm thirsty, I get lost in the streets where I live. I'm thirsty, I want to get drunk on your wine. But here where I live there's only saltwater and desert, only saltwater and desert. I'm now only like a man, an abandoned house where there, walls filled with togetherness, someplace, sometime. You were my oasis in the desert. The windpump turns, I struggle to fall asleep. I need your bosom to rest my head, there are only cliffs and sand here. Ref.: I'm thirsty, I get lost in the streets where I live. I'm thirsty, I want to get drunk on your wine. But here where I live there's only saltwater and desert, only saltwater and desert.
Kan oor en oor na die lied luister... elke keer soos die eerste keer. Beteken so baie verskillende goed vir so baie mense. Bly ek is een van hulle. dankie Bok!

Hey Bok jy moet Vancouver toe kom asseblief. Hier is so paar Afrikaners wat defnitief na jou sal kom luister. Steve Hofmeyer was al hier. Theuns Jordaan kom in Junie 2015. Maak 'n plan man. Daar is mense wat dit kan reël.

I am now just like a man
broken in ruin,
where there once was life.
A heathen who's lips,
at a place, at a time,
could disappear into yours
and repent again
The wind pump turns
but there is nothing
just dust in the faucets
I need your love to quench my thirst
because here there are only tears
I am thirsty
I get lost in the streets where I live
I am thirsty
I want to get drunk on your wine
But here where I live
It's just saltwater and desert
Just saltwater and desert
I am still just like a man
A desolated house,
where there once was life
walls filled with togetherness
at a place, at a time.
You were my oasis in the desert
The wind pump turns
I'm struggling to sleep
I need your bosom to rest my head on
Here there are only rocks and sand
I am thirsty
I get lost in the streets where I live
I am thirsty
I want to get drunk on your wine

Just saltwater and desert
It's just saltwater and desert
Just saltwater and desert

I get lost in the streets where I live
I am thirsty
I want to get drunk on your wine
dis help baie, dankie

Ek is nou
Net soos 'n man
Gehawende ruïne waar daar eens lewe was
Huiden wie se lippe
Op 'n plek
Op 'n tyd
In joune kon verdwyn
En weer bekeering kry
Die windpomp draai maar daar is niks
Net stof in die krane
Ek kort jou liefde om my dors te les
Want hier is net trane
Ek is dors, ek raak verlore in die strate waar ek bly
Ek is dors, ek wil dronk raak op jou wyn
Maar hier waar ek bly is dit net sout water en woestyn
Net sout water en woestyn (En woestyn)
Ek is nou nog
Net soos 'n man
'n Verlate huis waar daar eens lewe was
Mure gevul met samesyn op 'n plek op 'n tyd
Jy was my oase in die woestyn
Die windpomp draai, ek sukkel om te slaap
Ek kort jou boesem
Om my kop te rus hier is net klippe en sand
Ek is dors, ek raak verlore in die strate waar ek bly
Ek is dors, ek wil dronk raak op jou wyn
Maar hier waar ek bly is dit net sout water en woestyn
Net sout water en woestyn
Is dit net sout water en woestyn
Net sout water en woestyn
Ek is dors ek word verlore in die strate waar ek bly
Ek is dors ek wil dronk raak op jou wyn
