Analysis
1. Ek spaar vir ‘n kitaar om my First person narrator
songs (eerstepersoonsverteller),
which serves (wat dien) to
make the poem more
personal (persoonlik).
The speaker is saving up
(spaar) in order to buy (koop)
a guitar as he would like to
play his songs to the girl he
likes.
The speaker uses the English
word “songs”, adding an
informal (informele) tone
(stemming) to the poem. The
correct Afrikaans word is
“liedjies.”
“aa” assonance (assonansie)

, 2. vir jou te speel. My sad en silly Enjambment (enjambement).
songs This helps create (skep) a
conversational feel and tone
(gespreksgevoel en
stemming).
Repetition (herhaling) of the
word “songs”, possibly
(moontlik) to emphasize
(beklemtoon) that these songs
are important (belangrik) to
him and he wants to play
them only for her, which in turn
shows (wys) her importance
(belangrikheid) in his life then
as well.
“s” alliteration (alliterasie)
helps to emphasize
(beklemtoon) the tone of the
songs: sad (hartseer) and silly
(laf).
3. wat ek net vir jou wil sing. Dis “net” indicates (dui aan) that
die enigste these songs are only and
especially meant (bedoel) for
her.
4. rede waarom ek naweke Enjambment yet again
waiter. (alweer), creating (skep) a
flowy (vloeiende),
conversational-like feel.
The correct Afrikaans word for
“waiter” is “kelner.”
5. Maar vroeër vanaand was jy “Maar” – the use of the
conjunction (voegwoord)
creates (skep) a turning point
(wending) and the mood of
the poem also changes
(verander).
“v” alliteration (alliterasie)
“aa” assonance (assonansie)
The use of the half rhyme
(halfrym) serves (dien) as a
binding element
(bindingselement).
