Kinders van die Wind / Children of the Wind (English translation) lyrics

[Verse 1]
I know an old, old song
Of good times and woe
From ships long-vanished in
The cellars of the sea

The words are forgotten
But the notes of the little tune linger
Like vaguely familiar syllables from
An old, old story

[Chorus]
Wanderers without direction
Seekers who never find
And, in the end, all were just
Children of the wind

[Verse 2]
Faces, dreams, and names
Were snuffed out in the wind
And where those words are now
Only a child could guess

[Chorus]
Wanderers without direction
Seekers who never find
And, in the end, all were just
Children of the wind
[Bridge]

[Coda]
From wanderers without direction
From seekers who never find
And, in the end, all were just
Children of the wind

And in the end all were
Simply children of the wind
Children of the wind
