The Man I Love

When the mellow moon begins to beam,
Ev’ry night I dream a little dream,
And of course Prince Charming is the theme,
The he for me.
Although I realize as well as you,
It is seldom that a dream comes true.
 
For/To me it’s clear
That he’ll appear.
Some day he’ll come along,
The man I love,
And he’ll be big and strong,
The man I love,
 
And when he comes my way
I’ll do my best to make him stay.
He’ll look at me and smile,
I’ll understand;
And in a little while,
He’ll take my hand;
 
And though it seems absurd,
I know we both won’t say a word.
Maybe I shall meet him Sunday,
Maybe Monday, maybe not;
Still I’m sure to meet him one day,
Maybe Tuesday will be my good news day.
 
He’ll build a little home
Just meant for two,
From which I’ll never roam,
Who would – would you?
And so all else above
I’m waiting for
The man I love.
 
He’ll build a little home
Just meant for two,
From which I’ll never roam,
Who would – would you?
And so all else above
I’m waiting for
The man I love.
 
Translation

Die Man Wat Ek Lief Het

Wanneer die leem maan begin te balk,
Elke aand droom ek 'n droompie,
En natuurlik is "Prince Charming" die tema,
Die hy vir my.
Al besef ek so goed soos jy,
Dit is selde dat 'n droom waar word.
 
Vir my is dit duidelik
Dat hy sal verskyn.
Hy sal nog eendag kom,
Die man wat ek lief het,
En hy sal groot en sterk wees,
Die man wat ek lief het,
 
En wanneer hy my padjie kruis
Ek sal my beste doen om hom te laat bly.
Hy sal na my kyk en glimlag,
Ek sal verstaan;
En in 'n kort rukkie,
Sal hy my hand neem;
 
En al blyk dit om absurd te wees,
Ek weet beide van ons sal nie 'n woord praat nie.
Dalk sal ek hom Sondag ontmoet,
Miskien Maandag, miskien nie;
Nogtans is ek seker ek sal hom eendag ontmoet,
Miskien sal Dinsdag my goeie nuus dag wees.
 
Hy sal 'n huisie bou
Net bedoel vir twee,
Waarvan ek nooit sal swerf,
Wie sou – sou jy?
En so als soos bo
Ek wag vir
Die man wat ek lief het.
 
Hy sal 'n huisie bou
Net bedoel vir twee,
Waarvan ek nooit sal swerf,
Wie sou – sou jy?
En so als soos bo
Ek wag vir
Die man wat ek lief het.
