ek wil vir jou ‘n gewelhuisie bou
in die boland van my hart
met ‘n peerboom in die tuin
en vaatjies wyn in die kombuis
en ‘n tuinhekkie met krulle
en boekrakke met Sartre.
ek wil vir jou ‘n gewelhuisie bou
in my onderkaap van smart
met skepe in die hawe
en donssaad op die berg
en jy, in lewende lywe
op die stoep, in jou kombers
in die winterboland van my hart.
…ek wil vir jou my lewe gee
in die witafdophuisie van my hart.

I want to build a gabled house for you
in the winelands of my heart,
with a pear tree in the garden
and casks of wine in the kitchen,
and a little garden gate with curled ironwork,
and bookshelves filled with Sartre.
I want to build a gabled house for you
in the lower Cape of my sorrow,
with ships in the harbour
and thistledown on the mountain,
and you, as you are,
on the veranda, wrapped in a blanket,
in the winter winelands of my heart.
… I want to give you my life
in the whitewashed little house of my heart.
– florauna – André Letoit (Koos Kombuis)
