Golden Earring - Save Your Skin

Golden Earring - Save Your Skin

(G.Kooymans/B.Hay/R.Gerritsen/C.Zuiderwijk)


The pity and the pleasure and the guilt and the pain
The sun and the moon and the stars in the rain
It's all the same
Goin' back to zero, the other side of life
With gasoline and neon lights, seeping through the night

On a color-slide
Hand that's holdin' a gun
It's the trigger-happy son
Another abnormality
A wolf among the sheep
It's the good time boy, girls toy
Takin' another chance

And there he goes
Do you think he knows
On and on he goes
Do you think it shows

Hold on he's coming back
Like a joker jumpin' out a the deck
Hit a lotta dust, hit it hard
Just to prove my lord he can take a lot
Dig it now you still can
Get a smoke-screen and a rifle-man
Holy Christ look at the state he's in
Save your skin, take my
advice, and keep the kids inside
Save your skin, now you can, without an alibi
Save your skin, take my advice, and leave the dogs outside
'cause here he comes
It's the demon man with the fire in his eyes
Checking out your lies one by one.

Soul kitchen's empty
Lotta contrast with last night
There's broken chairs and broken glasses
Everywhere in sight
Sunlight is blindin' my eyes, minute he walks in
How ya been?


Hold on, I'm coming back
Like a joker jumpin' out a the deck
Hit a lotta dust, hit it hard
Just to prove my lord I can take a lot
Dig it now you still can
Get a smoke-screen and a rifle-man
Holy Christ look at the state I'm in
Save your skin, take my
advice, and keep the kids inside

Save your skin, now you can, without an alibi
Save your skin, take my advice, and leave the dogs outside
'cause here he comes
It's the demon man with the fire in his eyes
With the fire in his eyes

Save your skin, save your skin........

Jokerman - Bob Dylan

Standing on the water, casting your bread
While the eyes of the idol with the iron head are glowing
Distant ships sailing into the mist
You were born with a snake in both of your fists while a
hurricane was blowing
Freedom just around the corner for you
But with truth so far off, what good will it do.

Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune
Bird fly high by the light of the moon
Oh, oh, oh, Jokerman.

So swiftly the sun sets in the sky
You rise up and say goodbye to no one
Fools rush in where angels fear to tread
Both of their futures, so full of dread, you don't show one
Shedding off one more layer of skin
Keeping one step ahead of the persecutor within.

Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune
Bird fly high by the light of the moon
Oh, oh, oh, Jokerman.

You're a man of the mountain, you can walk on the clouds
Manipulator of crowds, you're a dream twister
You're going to Sodom and Gomorrah
But what do you care ? Ain't nobody there would want marry your sister
Friend to the martyr, a friend to the woman of shame
You look into the fiery furnace, see the rich man without any name.

Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune
Bird fly high by the light of the moon
Oh, oh, oh, Jokerman.

Well, the Book of Leviticus and Deuteronomy
The law of the jungle and the sea are your only teachers
In the smoke of the twilight on a milk-white steed
Michelangeo indeed could've carved out your features
Resting in the fields, far from the turbulent space
Half asleep near the stars with a small dog licking your face.

Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune
Bird fly high by the light of the moon
Oh, oh, oh, Jokerman.

Well, the rifleman's stalking the sick and the lame
Preacherman seeks the same, who'll get there first is uncertain
Nightsticks and water cannons, tear gas, padlocks
Molotow cocktails and rocks behind every curtain
False-hearted judges dying in the webs that they spin
Only a matter of time 'til the night comes stepping in.

Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune
Bird fly high by the light of the moon
Oh, oh, oh, Jokerman.

It's a shadowy world, skies are slippery gray
A woman just gave birth to a prince today and dressed him in scarlet
He'll put the priest in his pocket, put the blade to the heat
Take the motherless children off the street
And place them at the feet of a harlot

Oh, Jokerman, you know what he wants
Oh, Jokerman, you don't show any response.
Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune

Bird fly high by the light of the moon
Oh, oh, oh, Jokerman.

Julia Pavlov's Dog
Julia you set the standards for me
Walk to your door
Beggin for it just to be more
and Julia I couldn't do much better than you
Said so yourself
I wouldn't want anyone else
And I can't live without your love
And I can't live without your love
Well I can't live without you
Julia oh you're drivin me crazy
But I'm a...I'm a part of your plans
Oh just a man while your dreams be
You're just a part of me
Oh please see how much how much you mean to me
Please see how much how much you mean to me Julia
And Julia straight away you've had me
And I know I've had you
You're a part of me too
And I can't live without your love
And I can't live without your love
Well I can't live without you Julia
And I can't live without your love
And I can't live without your love
Well I can't live without you Julia


Soul Love - David Bowie

Stone love she kneels before the grave
A brave son - who gave his life
to save the slogans
That hovers between the headstone and her eyes
For they penetrate her grieving
New love - a boy and girl are talking
New words - that only they can share in
New words - a love so strong it tears their hearts
To sleep - through the fleeting hours of morning
[CHORUS]
Love is careless in its choosing
Sweeping over cross a baby
Love descends on those defenceless
Idiot love will spark the fusion
Inspirations have I none
Just to touch the flaming dove
All I have is my love of love
And love is not loving
Soul love - the priest that tastes the word and
Told of love - and how my God on high is
All love - though reaching up my loneliness
evolves
By the blindness that surrounds him
[CHORUS]

Born a second time - Golden Earring

Nergens Goed Voor - De Dijk

ik heb geen cent te makken
en ik heb nooit een vak geleerd
ik kijk niet uit m'n doppen
en mijn handen staan verkeerd
ik ben niet moeders mooiste
en ik ben niet al te vlug
en als je mij een tientje leent
zie je het nooit meer terug
en ik denk niet dat ik ooit verander
want dat duurt bij mij nooit lang
en ik heb er ook geen zin in
en ik ben het niet van plan
ik ben nergens goed voor
daar weet jij alles van
maar ik kan van je houden
zoals niemand anders kan
laat uren op me wachten
en dan heb ik ook nog geen geduld
denk enkel aan mezelf
en geef anderen de schuld
het is bij mij een zooitje
en ik geef nooit fouten toe
en als je met me vrijt
dan ben ik liever lui dan moe
en ik denk niet dat ik ooit verander
dus daar begin ik maar niet aan
ik heb er ook geen zin in
en ik was het niet van plan
ik ben nergens goed voor
daar weet jij alles van
maar ik kan van je houden
zoals niemand anders kan
ik kan van je houden
zoals niemand anders kan

LEAVE ME ALONE (I'M LONELY) - Pink

Go away
Give me a chance to miss you
Say goodbye
It'll make me want to kiss you
I love you so
Much more when you're not here
Watchin all the bad shows
Drinking all of my beer
I don't believe Adam and Eve
Spent every goddamn day together
If you give me some room there will be room enough for two
Tonight Leave me alone
I'm lonely
Alone I'm lonely
I'm tired
Leave me alone
I'm lonely
Alone I'm lonely tonight
I don't wanna wake up with another
But I don't wanna always wake up with you either
No you can't hop into my shower
All I ask for is one ***kin' hour
You taste so sweet
But I can't eat the same thing every day
Cuttin off the phone
Leave me the ***k alone
Tomorrow I'll be beggin' you to come home
Tonight Leave me alone
I'm lonely
Alone I'm lonely
I'm tired
Leave me alone
I'm lonely
Alone I'm lonely tonight
Go away
Come back
Go away
Come back
Why can't I just have it both ways
Go away
Come back
Go away
Come back I wish you knew the difference
Go away Come back Go away Give me a chance to miss you
Say goodbye It'll make me want to kiss you
Go away Give me a chance to miss you
Say goodbye It'll make me want to kiss you
Go away Give me a chance to miss you
Say goodbye It'll make me want to kiss you
Tonight Leave me alone I'm lonely Alone
I'm lonely I'm tired Leave me alone I'm lonely Alone
I'm lonely tonight Tonight Leave me alone
I'm lonely Alone I'm lonely I'm tired Leave me alone
I'm lonely Alone I'm lonely tonight Tonight
Go away Give me a chance to miss you
Leave me alone I'm lonely Alone I'm lonely
Say goodbye It'll make me want to kiss you
I'm tired Go away Give me a chance to miss you
Leave me alone I'm lonely Alone I'm lonely
Say goodbye It'll make me want to kiss you Tonight
Go away Give me a chance to miss you
Say goodbye It'll make me want to kiss you


Pavlovs Dog - Did you see him cry
How many times has he waited there
Beneath the boughs of angel hair
Woolen coat pulled tight against the wind
That whipped and chaffed his face
And left him that much more apart
From his old dreams that new lovers
Cannot own or hope to ever know
What's behind an old man's lonely eyes

When he's alone and the sun is high
Children laugh and he'd like to hide
Days like these seem to hang on
For so long
They seem to drag him down
And leave him that much more apart
And he wishes someone would invite him home
To pass the time
Or to maybe find some time
Or maybe

Did you see him cry

Did you ever watch him pace
And all the ways he tries to hide his face
Misplaced in a world not like his own
And did you ever stop to speak
Or hear him try to tell about
How she and he were lovers

Just like you
And they were just like you

Must I Cry? - Golden Earring
volgt...

Di-Rect - Inside my head

Is it wise enough to say
That I'm better off without you
Is it cool enough to fake
'cause all that I've been breathing is about you
Is it wise enough to flow
From the head until my toes
But somehow I don't really know
All that I've been doing is without you
Is it you inside my head
Is it you inside who says
That I become someone else
And on and on my mind keeps saying
This is not what I believe in
This is where it ends
And on and on my mind is made up
That is why it never stops
Alone again, alone again
Is it you inside my head
Is it you inside who says
That I become someone else
I didn't know that you're
buzzing right through inside my head
I didn't know that you're
coming right through inside my head
I didn't know that you're buzzing right through no
I.. I didn't know that you're coming right trough no
I.. I didn't know, I didn't know, I didn't know.. I didn't know...
Is it you inside my head
Is it you inside who says
Is it you inside my head

http://z18.zupload.com//download.php?filepath=44634

I see your shadow coming closer
And watch you drifting out of me,
I know
You will make it on your own
You can run out of everything
And everything is you

I must 've missed that you were leaving
I saw your lipstick on the mirror right here
All of a sudden it was all clear
You just ran out of everything
And everything 's said

But did you know I was blind for you?
Did you know 'bout the fantasies I had?
And where the answers won't come around
I blame myself for being me again and again

I'm surrounded by your photographs
I guess I'll never learn about today's
And will I ever learn? I wonder
I would run after anything
And anything is not you

Did you know I was blind for you?
Did you know 'bout the fantasies I had?
And where the answers won't come around
I blame myself for being me again, again

I must 've misses your call,
I misses it all

But did you know I was blind for?
And did you know you meant everything to me?
And if I had one more change, this time
I would have meant the world to you

I blame myself for being such a fool


I've lost somebody - Golden Earring

She came down from far away and smiled at me
In one moment I found out how love can be
Then I realized that she had gone again
I've just lost somebody
A-ha, please let me dream

Though I know that love ever happened this way
I'll be here untill she will return one day
Here low, I am dreaming, she must appear again
I've just lost somebody
A-ha, please let me dream

She came down from far away and smiled at me
In one moment I found out how love can be
Then I realized that she had gone again
I've just lost somebody
A-ha, please let me dream


One Word - Anouk

I close my eyes
And imagine you're here
Did it all seem so hopeless
Given the chance
I would ask
Forgive me
I didn't do a thing to make you stay
I didn't say a word to make you stay
If I would have known
Could I have tried to make it easier
But I didn't do a thing
Or say a word
One word

And I don't know why you're gone, now you're gone
No beautiful goodbye
You will never leave my mind
And it turns out to be so much different than our dreams
Now you're, you're a star in heaven

My thoughts unsaid
Stuck in my head
And it all feels so useless
Never forget to give all I have
Forgive me
I couldn't do a thing to make you stay
And I couldn't say a word to make you stay
If I could have known
Could I have tried to make it easier
But I couldn't do a thing
Or say a word
One word

And I don't know why you're gone, now you're gone
No beautiful goodbye
You will never leave my mind
And it turns out to be so much different than our dreams
Now you're, yeah, you're a star in heaven

Still I don't know why you're gone, now you're gone
No beautiful goodbye
You will never leave my mind
And it turns out to be so much different than our dreams
Now you're, you're a star in heaven
You're a star in heaven now
You're a star in heaven
Yeah, you're my star

Holiday in Spain - Counting Crow's & Blof

Ik kan nergens heen
Maar in het zuiden wacht een vrouw
nog steeds op mij alleen
Ze heeft flessen vol tequila
en flessen vol gin
En dan neem ik mijn gitaar mee
en mijn gouden ring

Er zijn vliegtuigstoelen
miljoenen bijbedoelingen
en bovendien zijn er limousines
en er zijn leugens over sterren
die we toch nooit zien

Misschien...
Neem ik Spanje als besluit
En laat mijn schepen achter
Ik ga er stiekem tussenuit
Een vluchtweg naar een nieuw begin

Hop on my choo choo
I'll be your enginedriver in a bunny suit
If you dress me up in pink and white
We may be just a little fuzzy 'bout it later tonight

She's my angel
She's a little better than the one that used to be with me
Cause she liked to scream at me
Man, it's a miracle that she's not living up in a tree

I may take a holiday in Spain
Leave my wings behind me
Drive this little girl insane
And fly away to someone new

Everybody's gone
They left the television screaming let the radio's on
M'n schoenen zijn gejat
Maar ik hoef niet meer naar buiten
Want er is nog wel wat

Oh happy new year's baby!
We could probably fix it if we clean it up all day
Or we could simply pack our bags
En gaan meteen naar Barcelona want we moeten hier weg

Misschien...
Neem ik Spanje als besluit
En laat mijn schepen achter
Ik ga er stiekem tussenuit
Een vluchtweg naar een nieuw begin

Ik neem Spanje als besluit
En laat mijn schepen achter
Ik ga er stiekem tussenuit
Een vluchtweg naar een nieuw begin

Making the best of all that's left to me
All the lines she said seem te break me in two
Most of the time rewinding the lines
I'm taking a day to get out of the way
Making my way back home to you again

Geef me de tijd om te redden wie ik ben
All the lines she said...
De dagen vertragen tot ze stollen en stilstaan
I am taking a day to get out of the way
Geef me de tijd om mezelf terug te vinden
Making my way back home to you again
Ik maak alles goed met wat er overblijft
All the lines she said...


Di-Rect - She

She,
She's a mistery
an enchanting woman
a puzzle to me
how she makes me cry
I'm happy you see

Who would not fall in love with that look in her eyes or that smile
She's an angel
Who would not feel the bliss after one single kiss from her lips
She's an angel

She She's a Symphony
An enchanting rhapsody
waiting only for me
how she makes me fly
Cuz I'm happy you see

Who would not fall in love with that look in her eyes or that smile
She's an angel
Who would not feel the bliss after one single kiss from her lips
She's an angel

Only Covered Eyes
couldn't ignore her beauty
She came straight from heaven...

She's an angel...... 4x

oooooooo

She's an angel...... 3x

oooooooo


Eros Ramazotti & Anastacia - I Belong to You

Adesso no, non voglio più difendermi
Supererò dentro di me gli ostacoli
I miei momenti più difficili
Per te

There is no reason, there is no right
It's crystal clear
I hear your voice
And all the darkness disappears
Everytime I look into your eyes
You make me love you
Questo inverno finirà
And I do truly love you
Fuori e dentro me
How you make me love you
Con le sue diffcoltà
And I do truly love you

I belong to you, you belong to me
Forever

Want you
Baby I want you
And I thought that you should know
That I believe
And you're the wind that's underneath my wings
I belong to you, you belong to me

Ho camminato su pensieri ripidi
You're my fantasy
Per solitudini e deserti aridi
You're my gentle breeze
Al ritmo della tua passione ora io vivrò
And I'll never let you go
L'amore attraverserò
You're the piece that makes me whole
Le onde dei suoi attimi
I can feel you in my soul
Profondi come oceani

Vincerò per te le paure che io sento
Quanto bruciano dentro le parole che non ho più detto, sai...

Oh..
Want you
Baby I want you
And I thought that you should know
That I believe

Lampi nel silenzio siamo noi yeah
I belong to you, you belong to me

You're the wind that's underneath my wings
I belong to you, you belong to me
Yeah hey yeah he

Adesso io ti sento
I will belong forever to you

Guns N' Roses - Don't Cry

Talk to me softly
There is something in your eyes
Don't hang your head in sorrow
And please don't cry
I know how you feel inside I've
I've been there before
Somethin is changin' inside you
And don't you know


Don't you cry tonight
I still love you baby
Don't you cry tonight
Don't you cry tonight
There's a heaven above you baby
And don't you cry tonight


Give me a whisper
And give me a sign
Give me a kiss before you
tell me goodbye
Don't you take it so hard now
And please don't take it so bad
I'll still be thinkin' of you
And the times we had...baby


And don't you cry tonight
Don't you cry tonight
Don't you cry tonight
There's a heaven above you baby
And don't you cry tonight


And please remember that I never lied
And please remember
how I felt inside now honey

But you'll be alright now sugar
You'll feel better tomorrow
Come the morning light now baby


And don't you cry tonight
And don't you cry tonight
And don't you cry tonight
There's a heaven above you baby
And don't you cry
Don't you ever cry
Don't you cry tonight
Baby maybe someday
Don't you cry
Don't you ever cry
Don't you cry
Tonight

Guns N' Roses - November Rain

When I look into your eyes
I can see a love restrained
But darlin' when I hold you
Don't you know I feel the same
'Cause nothin' lasts forever
And we both know hearts can change
And it's hard to hold a candle
In the cold November rain
We've been through this such a long long time
Just tryin' to kill the pain
But lovers always come and lovers always go
An no one's really sure who's lettin' go today
Walking away
If we could take the time to lay it on the line
I could rest my head
Just knowin' that you were mine
All mine
So if you want to love me
then darlin' don't refrain
Or I'll just end up walkin'
In the cold November rain

Do you need some time...on your own
Do you need some time...all alone
Everybody needs some time...on their own
Don't you know you need some time...all alone
I know it's hard to keep an open heart
When even friends seem out to harm you
But if you could heal a broken heart
Wouldn't time be out to charm you

Sometimes I need some time...on my
own Sometimes I need some time...all alone
Everybody needs some time...on their own
Don't you know you need some time...all alone

And when your fears subside
And shadows still remain, ohhh yeahhh
I know that you can love me
When there's no one left to blame
So never mind the darkness
We still can find a way
'Cause nothin' lasts forever
Even cold November rain


Don't ya think that you need somebody
Don't ya think that you need someone
Everybody needs somebody
You're not the only one
You're not the only one

Jacques Brel - Ne Me Quitte Pas

Ne me quitte pas
Il faut oublier
Tout peut s'oublier
Qui s'enfuit déjà
Oublier le temps
Des malentendus
Et le temps perdu
A savoir comment
Oublier ces heures
Qui tuaient parfois
A coups de pourquoi
Le coeur du bonheur
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas

Moi je t'offrirai
Des perles de pluie
Venues de pays
Où il ne pleut pas
Je creuserai la terre
Jusqu'après ma mort
Pour couvrir ton corps
D'or et de lumière
Je ferai un domaine
Où l'amour sera roi
Où l'amour sera loi
Où tu seras reine
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas

Ne me quitte pas
Je t'inventerai
Des mots insensés
Que tu comprendras
Je te parlerai
De ces amants-là
Qui ont vu deux fois
Leurs coeurs s'embraser
Je te raconterai
L'histoire de ce roi
Mort de n'avoir pas
Pu te rencontrer
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas

On a vu souvent
Rejaillir le feu
D'un ancien volcan
Qu'on croyait trop vieux
Il est paraît-il
Des terres brûlées
Donnant plus de blé
Qu'un meilleur avril
Et quand vient le soir
Pour qu'un ciel flamboie
Le rouge et le noir
Ne s'épousent-ils pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas

Ne me quitte pas
Je ne vais plus pleurer
Je ne vais plus parler
Je me cacherai là
A te regarder
Danser et sourire
Et à t'écouter
Chanter et puis rire
Laisse-moi devenir
L'ombre de ton ombre
L'ombre de ta main
L'ombre de ton chien
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas

NL ---- Vergeet me niet

Laat me niet alleen
Toe, vergeet de strijd
Toe, vergeet de nijd
Laat me niet alleen
En die domme tijd
Vol van misverstand
Ach vergeet hem, want
het was verspilde tijd
Hoe vaak hebben wij
Met een snijdend woord
Ons geluk vermoord
Kom, dat is voorbij
Laat me niet alleen
Laat me niet alleen
Laat me niet alleen
Laat me niet alleen

Lief, ik zoek voor jou
In het stof van de wegen
De paarlen van regen
De paarlen van dauw
Ik zal heel mijn leven
Werken zonder rust
Om jou licht en lust,
goud en goed te geven
Ik sticht een gebied
Waar de liefde troont
Waar de liefde loont
Waar jouw wil geschiedt
Laat me niet alleen
Laat me niet alleen
Laat me niet alleen

Laat me niet alleen
Ik bedenk voor jou
Woorden rood en blauw
Taal voor jou alleen
En met warme mond
Zeggen wij elkaar
Eens was er een paar
Dat zichzelf weer vond
Ook vertel ik jou
Van de koning
Die stierf van nostalgie
Hunkerend naar jou
Laat me niet alleen
Laat me niet alleen
Laat me niet alleen
Laat me niet alleen

Want uit een vulkaan
Die was uitgeblust
Breekt zich na wat rust
Toch het vuur weer baan
En op oude grond
Ziet men vaak het graan
Heel wat hoger staan
Dan op verse grond
Het wit mint het zwart
Zwakheid mint de kracht
Daglicht mint de nacht
Mijn hart mint jouw hart
Laat me niet alleen
Laat me niet alleen
Laat me niet alleen
Laat me niet alleen

Laat me niet alleen
Nee, ik huil niet meer
Nee, ik spreek niet meer
Want ik wil alleen
Horen hoe je praat
Kijken hoe je lacht
Weten hoe je zacht
Door de kamer gaat
Nee, ik vraag niet meer
Ik wil je schaduw zijn
Ik wil je voetstap zijn
Ik wil je adem zijn
Laat me niet alleen
Laat me niet alleen
Laat me niet alleen
Laat me niet alleen

- Rod McKuen - If You Go Away

If you go away
on this summer day
Then you might as well
take the sun away
All the birds that flew
in the summer sky
When our love was new
and our hearts were high
When the day was young
and the night was long
And the moon stood still
for the night bird's song
If you go away
If you go away
If you go away
If you go away

But if you stay
I'll make you a day
Like no day has been
or will be again
We'll sail the sun
we'll ride on the rain
We'll talk to the trees
and worship the wind
Then if you go
I'll understand
Leave me just enough love
to fill up my hand
If you go away
If you go away
If you go away
If you go away

If you go away
As I know you will
You must tell the world
to stop turning till
You return again
If you ever do
For what good is love
without loving you;
Can I tell you now
as you turn to go,
I'll be dying slowly
till the next hello.
If you go away
If you go away
If you go away
If you go away

But if you stay
I'll make you a night
Like no night has been
Or will be again;
I'll sail on your smile
I'll ride on your touch
I'll talk to your eyes
That I love so much.
But if you go, go, I won't cry,
Though the good is gone
from the word "good-bye."
If you go away
If you go away
If you go away
If you go away

If you go away
as I know you must
There'll be nothing left
in the world to trust
Just an empty room
full of empty space
Like the empty look
I see on your face
I'd have been
the shadow of your shadow
the shadow of your dog
If I thought it might
have kept me by your side
If you go away
if you go away
If you go away
Please don't go away


Mokum TV vertaling :


Je ne sais pas

Je ne sais pas pourquoi la pluie
Quitte là-haut ses oripeaux
Que sont les lourds nuages gris
Pour se coucher sur nos coteaux
Je ne sais pas pourquoi le vent
S'amuse dans les matins clairs
A colporter les rires d'enfants
Carillons frêles de l'hiver
Je ne sais rien de tout cela
Mais je sais que je t'aime encor'

Je ne sais pas pourquoi la route
Qui me pousse vers la cité
A l'odeur froide des déroutes
De peuplier en peuplier
Je ne sais pas pourquoi le voile
Du brouillard glacé qui m'escorte
Me fait penser aux cathédrales
Où l'on prie pour les amours mortes
Je ne sais rien de tout cela
Mais je sais que je t'aime encor'

Je ne sais pas pourquoi la ville
M'ouvre ses remparts de faubourgs
Pour me laisser glisser fragile
Sous la pluie parmi ses amours
Je ne sais pas pourquoi ces gens
Pour mieux célébrer ma défaite
Pour mieux suivre l'enterrement
Ont le nez collé aux fenêtres
Je ne sais rien de tout cela
Mais je sais que je t'aime encor'

Je ne sais pas pourquoi ces rues
S'ouvrent devant moi une à une
Vierges et froides froides et nues
Rien que mes pas et pas de lune
Je ne sais pas pourquoi la nuit
Jouant de moi comme guitare
M'a forcé à venir ici
Pour pleurer devant cette gare
Je ne sais rien de tout cela
Mais je sais que je t'aime encor'

Je ne sais pas à quelle heure part
Ce triste train pour Amsterdam
Qu'un couple doit prendre ce soir
Un couple dont tu es la femme
Et je ne sais pas pour quel port
Part d'Amsterdam ce grand navire
Qui brise mon cœur et mon corps
Notre amour et mon avenir
Je ne sais rien de tout cela
Mais je sais que je t'aime encor'
Mais je sais que je t'aime encor'


Ik weet niet

Ik weet niet waarom de regen
Van boven de dakpannen komt
Waar zware grijze wolken
over onze nederzettingen liggen
Ik weet niet waarom de wind
zich amuseert in de heldere ochtenden
En de lach van de kinderen
en het frêle klokkenspel van de winter draagt
Van dat alles weet ik niets
Maar ik weet dat ik nog steeds van je hou

Ik weet niet waarom de weg
me naar de steden duwt
Met de koude geur van wortelschietende
populier in populier
Ik weet niet waarom de sluier
van bevroren mist die mij volgt
Me aan kathedralen doet denken
Waar voor de doden wordt gebeden
Van dat alles weet ik niets
Maar ik weet dat ik nog steeds van je hou

Ik weet niet waarom de stad de muren
van de buitenwijken voor me open doet
Om me er breekbaar te laten inglippen
In de regen temidden van de geliefden
Ik weet niet waarom deze mensen
Voor bestwil mijn ondergang vieren
Voor bestwil de begravenisstoet volgen
Met hun neuzen tegen de ramen gedrukt
Van dat alles weet ik niets
Maar ik weet dat ik nog steeds van je hou

Ik weet niet waarom deze straten
zich één voor één voor me openen
Maagdelijk koud en koud en naakt
Met niets dan mijn stappen zonder maan
Ik weet niet waarom de nacht
met me speelt als een gitaar
Me dwingt om hier te komen
Om te huilen voor dit station
Van dat alles weet ik niets
Maar ik weet dat ik nog steeds van je hou

Ik weet niet hoe laat die
treurige trein naar Amsterdam vertrekt
Dat een paar dat vanavond neemt
Een paar waarvan jij de vrouw bent
En ik weet niet vanuit welke haven
van Amsterdam het grote schip vertrekt
Dat mijn hart en mijn lichaam breekt
Onze liefde en mijn toekomst
Van dat alles weet ik niets
Maar ik weet dat ik nog steeds van je hou
Maar ik weet dat ik nog steeds van je hou


Lange Frans Baas B Ft Brutus - Ik wacht Al Zo Lang

Ik sterf elke dag onderweg waar naartoe
en als ik daar ben, wat is er daar dan te doen?
Ik ben raar wat je noemt, niet meer wakker te maken,
in m'n hoofd aan het dwalen, ik kan nachten niet slapen.
Aanslagen en zwarte maandagen,
ben geen kleine jongen meer, ik kan het niet meer aan m'n pa vragen.
Ik heb dromen die me najagen, achtervolgen,
als donder en bliksem uit wolken.
Ik doe het leuk als een wolf, maar was vroeger een schaap,
maar de slang en de rat binnen in me wisten raad.
Zet mezelf op m'n plaats, want ik wist het inderdaad,
hoe het mis kan gaan als je geld ruikt gaat.
Tussen gek, geniaal, iedereen, allemaal,
je leest mijn boek en ik schrijf het verhaal,
met het bloed uit m'n pen naar het eind van de gang,
ik ben klaar, kom me halen, want ik wacht al zo lang!

~~

Ik wacht al zo lang,
op een antwoord dat niemand kan geven.
Ik wacht al zo lang,
maar tevergeefs, ik ga dood van het leven.

Ik ben moe van het wachten,
kan niet meer stil blijven zitten en mezelf gek maken in gedachten.
Kom ik er ooit achter?
Ik word licht in m'n hoofd, lijk verdoofd door duistere krachten.
Als klein kind nam ik alles voor lief,
ik had geen vragen om te stellen dus ik stelde ze niet.

Ik geloofde in sprookjes en in de mensen,
ik was tevreden, had weinig te wensen.
Maar nu die tijd zonder zorgen voorbij is,
vraag ik me af wat de reden voor mij is.
Dat ik hier ben, sja wat doet het er toe,
wat maakt het nog uit dat ik doe wat ik doe.
En nu de tijd als maar sneller voorbij tikt,
vraag ik me af wat er straks aan het eind is.
Wat maakt het nog uit dat ik doe wat ik kan,
geef me een teken, want ik wacht al zo lang.

~~

Ik wacht al zo lang, maar waarop?
En waarom? Ik zie het wel als het er op aankomt.
Maar als de dood aanklopt en je wereld in mekaar stort,
moet dingen nu doen voor het te laat wordt.
En daardoor ben ik druk, alles moet vlug,
spacend op het leven op zoek naar het nut.
Je zoekt je rust en beproeft je geluk,
je bouwt iets op maar opeens is het stuk.
Misschien haal ik de 80 of het stopt bij 40,
maar alsjeblieft niet eerder want ik vind het hier nog heerlijk!
Er zijn zoveel dingen die ik nog zou willen,
ik moet het laten weten voor ik weg val in stilte.
De dood is iets dat bij het leven hoort
en voor nabestaanden gaat het leven door.
Ik hoop gewoon niet dat ik vergeten word
en aan de goede kant beland van de hemelpoort.

Golden Earring - Cell 29 (G.Kooymans/B.Hay)

He's planning a robbery
Lack of common sense
Bad vibes and a story
That stands for accidents

And now he's gonna get lucky
This time he'll play it smart
By the time lucky gets lucky
When he steps out of the getaway car

Yeah, now he's gonna get lucky
This time he'll play it smart
By the time lucky gets lucky
When he steps out of the getaway car

Feeling fine rhymes on cell 29
Feeling lonely in cell 29
I can remember your face
And I pace, and I pace in C29
Callin' further needs
Max security

Feeling fine rhymes on cell 29
Feeling lonely in cell 29
I can remember your face
And I pace, and I pace in C29
Call it villainy
Max security

While I eat that food, sleep that sleep
Miss that kiss, feel real cheap
Swallow the pills
forget all the thrills
No more bills
It's a crime, cell 29

Feeling fine rhymes on cell 29
Can't wait to fly out of cell 29
Miss the space and the trays of wine in cell 29
Call it villainy
Max security

Feeling fine rhymes on cell 29
Feeling fine rhymes on cell 29

Golden Earring -Grab it for a Second(G.Kooymans/B.Hay - Volksmusic)

We were rolling through the room
I could feel her heart boom
beating next to mine
We were just eighteen
I was real hard and mean
but I had a soft spot for her eyes
Another memory, that's all you get to keep
Another memory, that's all you get to keep

I wanna grab it for a second
Wanna hold it tight
Remember what it feels like
Wanna grab it for a second
Wanna hold it tight
Remember what it feels like to have it all day and night

Yeah now we're rollin' through the times
Scrapin' up the dimes
Takin' it blow-by-blow
And I tell my present lady
Not to be afraid
and to enjoy it to the end of the show
Memories, that's all you get to keep
A lot of memories, that's all you get to keep

Just gotta grab it for a second
Wanna hold it tight
Remember what it feels like
Grab it for a second
And hold it tight
Remember what it feels like to have it all day and night

Happy new year !


A little reflection on what was and what has to come invited me to subscribe the following blog. The last year was a rocky one for me and I liked the way how the Amsterdam people 'scared away the ghosts from 2007' Especially on the newmarket ( nieuwmarkt) there was an extreme good way of 'chasing away the ghosts' :-)

I always liked to be in 'the area' as long as I lived in Amsterdam. Cannot explain it in simple words, unless you are a close friend of me.

Today I went there to give my close friends ans nice acquentences my best regards and personal whishes for the comming year.



Started out with a colleague of mine from acting and had a wonderfull first hour in the coffeshop she works besides the acting jobs... They sell great stuff by the way :-)


















Next I went to my close and very nice friend 'Dre' in a shop I worked also, very nice stay and close and personal chat between mates describes my stay the best :-)


















I quickly went in the bar opposite because I mentioned personal friends, but there was also a guy I didn't like to see, so a quick newyear and went to another bar to meet a girlfriend. Chilled out and had fun !!!


( years back when i worked in the Sheeba ... )
