Gitaar

'guitar'

she was beckoning me
shining behind glass
showing off her curves
I knew who she was
she beckoned me inside
there she stood in a row
I said to start out
you are mine
guitar, she was my first guitar

I learned to play her
we played day and night
when I started to caress her
she would sing so quiet
we were always together
you saw us everywhere
and wherever we walked in
the festivities would start
guitar, she was my first guitar

woah, woah, woah

but then she disappeared
it was in a busy café
I hadn't looked for a while
and people took her away
it's a long time ago now
but I still think of her
I can't forget her
it was my guitar
guitar, my very first guitar

woah, woah, woah

Hij Zingt Omdat-i Het Niet Zeggen Kan

'he sings because he can't say it'

in the late, late twilight
he softly plays his guitar and sings
he sings because he can't say it
he sings because he can't say it

in the wide silence of night
he puts down his chords whisper-quiet
and sings because he can't say it
he sings because he can't say it

very carefully he tastes every word
in the tone appropriate for love
you disappear into his voice

so don't look around
this is only for you
here is the man
the woman in the song is you
the thing he can't say
is the thing he wants the most
and the only thing he wants is you

the first sunlight moves along the sea
and suddenly a bird sings along
who sings because he can't say it
who sings because he can't say it

what he sings is real don't be deceived
because the singer is his own song
so he sings himself for you

so don't look around
this is only for you
here is the man
the woman in the song is you
the thing he can't say
is the thing he wants the most
and the only thing he wants is you


De Namen en de Plaatsen

'the names and the places'
