This song is in Afrikaans, not an easy language to sing in.

I enjoyed it even if I have no idea what it's about.

Beautiful in Beaufort-Wes Lyrics
You were Beautiful in Beaufort West, and I
loved you so terribly and terribly, and you and I
dated on graves and on trains on Ford Fairlane's rear seats.
And now you and your husband are both computer a *** ysts,
last winter, you tried to cut above your wrists and now you write to me
Koortjie:
You can no longer sleep. No more laughing,
no more doing anything for yourself and never ever kissing me again.

Nice, nice, nice were your words too while smoking Menthol cigarettes,
and all that sweat, sweat saying things to me while you sweat, sweat lying in my arms.
And the exact words I're forgetting exactly, I just remember the smoke and sweat
in Beaufort West and your bare body under cool summer cotton dress

Chorus:
No more sleep. No more laughing,
no more doing something for yourself and never ever kissing me again
And it might be like a story from The Housemate,
but one night you suddenly pushed me away
and in the rearview mirror looked at your face and said maybe I should look happier
and that night I could not fall asleep
I felt how my heart jerks loose from my body and floats like a rowboat all the way down the river

Chorus:
I could not sleep anymore. No more laughing no
more doing something for myself, and never ever kissing you again
The last memory I write about is the night you and I
ride the milk train on and off at night to the other side of the ding-dong gong
of the breakfast waiter in the hallway past
It was my wake-up call my love, you said: "Please love me",
but I dreamed we went to live in Beaufort West

Chorus:
I could not sleep anymore. No more laughing,
no more doing anything for each other and never ever kissing you again.
I could not sleep anymore. No more laughing
No more serving myself and never kissing you again

JimF, just think, but for Jon's frail stature, he could well have played for Accy Stanley and Yes would never have been the same band :-) I've heard a few early interviews where he definitely has the Accrington accent but he has now developed that mid-Atlantic tongue.

Mamy, have you seen what the AB censor has 'asterisked' in the lyrics you've just posted. Unbelievable:-(

That's hilarious Ken, lol.

[wolf63]

Thank you very much mamya. I did google the guy's name only to find that he had died recently.

The lyrics sound cumbersome in English.
I don't know what was asterisked out though.
