Lyrics and translation of Verskietende Sterre

So yeah, I found this song some time ago. Same artist as Koning van Harte, by the way.  And since it's really annoying trying to find a translation for it, I guess I'm making another translation post. Actually, the Afrikaans lyrics are out there if you do some digging, possibly English too, but if I type in a song name followed by 'lyrics' into Google, I want the lyrics in the first result, or at the very least the first page. So, I'm just doing both. Besides, it's some practice with writing/reading Afrikaans...




There's the video. I don't really know what to make of it. I'm not much of a fan of music videos, so don't think too much of my opinion on that.

Keep reading for the lyrics!

YASU (Yet Another Status Update)

Just so that if anyone's wondering...I'm still here. Sort of. Still bogged down with schoolwork, but I've gotten English done now too. But now I'm stuck with Physics and Math. And if it takes me two weeks to procrastinate and get done with English (I did half the year yesterday alone to finish it to have internet today) I'm sure that if I actually tried, and had pencils and paper readily available, I could get one of those done in a week or two, depending on how much it confuses me and how much of it actually makes sense to me and how much help I can get.

But for now, I don't see myself coming on here very often until that's all done (and when I'm done, I'll be very glad) On the other hand, I might not finish before the end of the month (totally plausible at this moment) and might end up going to public school and only have internet on weekends if my grades are good (which I doubt they will be with the amount of work they give you) So, I'm going to try and finish up before then...

There is a bright side to not having internet for long periods of time, though. I'm becoming less dependant on the internet for satisfaction (though I'm still sitting on my butt now that I have, so I'm still working on that) and it's also making me sick of some of the online games I've been playing because I have notifications piling up and I really don't want to sort through them because they're just going to pile up again when I don't have internet.

I think that that may be part of the reason why I'm not trying harder on my schoolwork. It is a good thing, really. Boring and annoying, but still actually good.

Last note: This is more of a status update than anything, and I'm sure that if there's anyone actually following this blog then you're probably sick of them by now, but I hope to have a more meaningful post up somewhere during the weekend. I have some ideas...
