Analysis of Rooi wyn
Elke aand drink jy rooi wyn
Om te vergeet van al jou pyn
Jy drink jou smart weg
Hou net so rukkie aan en veg
Jy vat n candy coted blade
Dink jou lewe is beesag om te fade
Elke aand drink jy rooi wyn
Om te vergeet van al jou pyn
Die donker gedagtes van jou hart
Los jou deurmekaar en verwart
Elke aand drink jy rooi wyn
Om te vergeet van al jou pyn
Die verloore mens in jou siel
Sal iemand haar tog nie verniel
