Toe Vind Ek Jou

A South African song that just gives me goosebumps! I have translated the lyrics from Afrikaans to English below.

I lay my weapons down

Tonight for the first time

I see myself in your eyes

I have lost this war

I stare at the blood on my hands

I know I have changed

You think I am just talking again

I love you

I swear

No pretenses

No control

Outside the voices scatter

Friends that greet

See you later

Everyone finds their way

I know I must too my love

Hey, my sweet

Hey, my baby

You are my retreat

Never want to make you cry

You are my song

You are my tune

We have a dog

We have a home

I have given enough

I have shouted enough

I learnt long ago

But still I tried 

Flee like a traitor

From that which has a hold on me

There were monsters in the dark

Then I found you (Toe vind ek jou)

I swear
