Translations to Jo Black - Skepe

English

A ship is built in a harbour.
A ship in a harbour looks very beautiful for me and you,
But that is not what ships are made for.
The storms and winds will blow.
Hoist your sails up high, because sooner or later the tide must turn.

Let the compass of your soul determine your heart again.
Get your masts ready, pull out the anchor,
In the direction of the southern cross.

We are made to go out
On the waves of the deepest ocean.
We find our direction in the stars and the bright moon.
We are made in the name of hope.
We are made to go out.

Life will toss you and jerk you around.
Sometimes it feels like you are sinking, but you must just find your feet like Peter.
And perhaps just believe like a child again.
Just keep your bearing, because sometimes doubt sets in.
It is more about how you get up and less about how you stumble.
Do not fear when the water gets rough.

Lift up your shoulders.
Feel your heart beat again.
Now steer your ship through the gates.22
Our hope is more than empty words.
You are in control of your destination.
How you get there is your own decision.


Afrikaans

n Skip word in n hawe gebou.
'n Skip lyk in 'n hawe baie mooi vir my en jou,
Maar dis nie waarvoor skepe gemaak word nie
Die storms en die winde sal waai
Hys jou seile hoog, want een of ander tyd moet die tyding draai.

Laat die kompas van jou siel weer jou hart bepaal.
Kry jou maste reg, haal die anker uit,
In die rigting van die suiderkruis.

Ons is gemaak om uit te gaan
Op die golwe van die diepste oseaan.
Ons vind ons rigting in die sterre en die helder maan.
Ons is gemaak in hoop se naam.
Ons is gemaak om uit te gaan.

Die lewe sal jou gooi en jou rondruk.
Soms voel dit of jy sink, maar jy moet net jou voete soos Petrus vind.
En dalk net weer glo soos 'n kind.
Hou net koers, want soms kom die twyfel.
Dit gaan meer oor hoe jy opstaan en minder oor hoe jy struikel.
Moenie vrees as die waters rof raak nie.

Tel jou skouers op.
Voel jou hart weer klop.
Stuur jou skip nou deur die poorte.
Ons hoop is meer as net leë woorde.
Jy's in beheer van jou bestemming.
Hoe jy daar uitkom is jou eie besluit.
