Chris van der Westhuizen

Ek het my hart in jou gevind;
my siel en verstand aan jou gebind.

Fataal sal jou verdwyning wees.

In alles sal ek jou dan soek;
verlangend roep om draai en hoek.

Jou sielgenoot, dan swerwer gees.

Fataal sal jou verdwyning wees.

Lost

I found my heart within your own;
my soul and mind to you are sewn.

Fatal would be your disappearance.

In all things I will search for you,
calling with longing through each view -
each twist and turn, each shadowed bend.

Your soulmate, now a ghost adrift...

Fatal would be your disappearance.
