My Afrikaanse oomblik

Ek het vandag "Die Heuwels Fantasties" se album - Wilder as die Wildtuin gekoop.  Ek koop baie selde Afrikaanse musiek.  DHF se liedjie "Wonder bo Wonder", saam met Coenie de Villiers was die hoofaantrekkingskrag, maar wat 'n aangename verrassing, die res van die album is regtig
goed en ek kan nie wag om dit in die kar te luister nie.

Die Heuwels Fantasties ft. Coenie de Villiers - Wonder bo Wonder




Jy kan sĂȘ dis alles toeval
Dis maar soos dit is
Die mense wat mekaar ontmoet
Deur die noodlot so beslis

Ek was al van tevore
Hier waar ons ons bevind
Waar mens ewigdurend trou beloof
Maar jy’s later onbemind

Maar jy trek my soos die maan
Die gety se eb en vloed
Jy laat my dalk weer glo
En jy gee my dalk weer moed

Want wonder bo wonder
Uiteraard onbeplan
Hoe vat ons nou hierdie ding verder?
En hoe keer ons dit dan?

Wonder bo wonder
Uiteraard onbeman
As alles weer in mekaar inval
Sal jy my oortuig
Om die stukke weer op te tel

So word ‘n mens versigtig
So word mens katvoet wys
As almal iewers heengaan
Bly jy dikwels tuis

Want jy'y later te veel letsels
Wat soos soeweniers die hart
Laat huiwer en versigtig maak
Jy hou hom liefs apart

Maar jy trek my soos die maan
Die gety se eb en vloed
Jy laat my dalk weer glo
En jy gee my dalk weer moed

Want wonder bo wonder
Uiteraard onbeplan
Hoe vat ons nou hierdie ding verder?
En hoe keer ons dit dan?

Wonder bo wonder
Uiteraard onbeman
As alles weer in mekaar inval
Sal jy my oortuig
Om die stukke weer op te tel

Wonder bo wonder
Uiteraard onbeplan
Hoe vat ons nou hierdie ding verder?
En hoe keer ons dit dan?

Wonder bo wonder
Uiteraard onbeman
As alles weer in mekaar inval
Sal jy my oortuig
Om die stukke weer op te tel

Wonder bo wonder
Uiteraard onbeplan
Hoe vat ons nou hierdie ding verder?
En hoe keer ons dit dan?

Wonder bo wonder
Uiteraard onbeman
As alles weer in mekaar inval
Sal jy my oortuig
Om die stukke weer op te tel

Duran Duran - Ordinary World

This song has played a big part in my life - cannot believe that I have never posted it before. You know when you associate songs with major events in your life?  This one is a big one for me, the details of which will remain mine..



                                  "Ordinary World"

Came in from a rainy Thursday
On the avenue
Thought I heard you talking softly

I turned on the lights, the TV
And the radio
Still I can't escape the ghost of you

What has happened to it all?
Crazy, some are saying
Where is the life that I recognize?
Gone away

But I won't cry for yesterday
There's an ordinary world
Somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way
To the ordinary world
I will learn to survive

Passion or coincidence
Once prompted you to say
"Pride will tear us both apart"
Well now pride's gone out the window
Cross the rooftops
Run away
Left me in the vacuum of my heart

What is happening to me?
Crazy, some'd say
Where is my friend when I need you most?
Gone away

But I won't cry for yesterday
There's an ordinary world
Somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way
To the ordinary world
I will learn to survive

Papers in the roadside
Tell of suffering and greed
Here today, forgot tomorrow
Ooh, here besides the news
Of holy war and holy need
Ours is just a little sorrowed talk

And I don't cry for yesterday
There's an ordinary world
Somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way
To the ordinary world
I will learn to survive

Every one
Is my world, I will learn to survive
Any one
Is my world, I will learn to survive
Any one
Is my world
Every one
Is my world

Panis Angelicus

Latin Text
Panis Angelicus fit panis hominum
Dat panis coelicus figuris terminum
O res mirabilis! Manducat Dominum
Pauper, pauper, servus et humilis
Pauper, pauper, servus et humilis
English Translation
The angel's bread becomes the bread of men
The heavenly bread ends all symbols
Oh, miraculous thing! The body of the Lord will nourish
The poor, poor, and humble servant
The poor, poor, and humble servant
