Suzanne neemt je mee
naar een bank aan het water
duizend schepen gaan voorbij
en toch wordt 't maar niet later
en je weet dat zij goed gek is
want daarom zit je naast haar
en ze geeft je pepermuntjes
want ze geeft je graag iets tastbaars
en net als je haar wilt zeggen
'ik kan jou geen liefde geven'
komt heel de stad tot leven en hoor
je meeuwen schreeuwen
je hebt steeds van haar gehouden
en je wilt wel met haar meegaan
samen naar de overkant
en je moet haar wel vertrouwen
want ze houdt al jouw gedachten in haar hand

en Jezus was een visser
die het water zo vertrouwde
dat Hij zomaar over zee liep
omdat Hij had leren houden
van de golven en de branding
waarin niemand kan verdrinken
Hij zei: 'Als men blijft geloven
kan de zwaarste steen niet zinken'
Maar de hemel ging pas open
toen Zijn lichaam was gebroken
en hoe Hij heeft geleden
dat weet alleen die Visser aan 't kruis
en je wilt wel met Hem meegaan
samen naar de overkant
en je moet Hem wel vertrouwen
want Hij houdt al jouw gedachten in Zijn hand

Suzanne neemt je mee
naar een bank aan het water
je onthoudt waar ze naar kijkt
als herinnering voor later
en het zonlicht lijkt wel honing
waaraan kinderen zich te goed doen
en het grasveld ligt bezaaid met wat de
mensen zoal weg doen
in de goot liggen de helden
met een glimlach op de lippen
en de meeuwen in de lucht
lijken net verdwaalde stippen
als Suzanne je lachend aankijkt
en je wilt wel met haar meegaan
samen naar de overkant
en je moet haar wel vertrouwen
want ze houdt al jouw gedachten in haar hand

Suzanne t'emmène écouter les sirènes
Elle te prend par la main
Pour passer une nuit sans fin
Tu sais qu'elle est à moitié folle
C'est pourquoi tu veux rester
Sur un plateau d'argent
Elle te sert du thé au jasmin
Et quand tu voudrais lui dire
Tu n'as pas d'amour pour elle
Elle t'appelle dans ses ondes
Et laisse la mer répondre
Que depuis toujours tu l'aimes

Tu veux rester à ses côtés
Maintenant, tu n'as plus peur
De voyager les yeux fermés
Une flamme brûle dans ton coeur

Il était un pêcheur venu sur la terre
Qui a veillé très longtemps
Du haut d'une tour solitaire
Quand il a compris que seuls
Les hommes perdus le voyaient
Il a dit qu'on voguerait
Jusqu'à ce que les vagues nous libèrent
Mais lui-même fut brisé
Bien avant que le ciel s'ouvre
Délaissé et presqu'un homme
Il a coulé sous votre sagesse
Comme une pierre

Tu veux rester à ses côtés
Maintenant, tu n'as plus peur
De voyager les yeux fermés
Une flamme brûle dans ton coeur

Suzanne t'emmène écouter les sirènes
Elle te prend par la main
Pour passer une nuit sans fin
Comme du miel, le soleil coule
Sur Notre Dame des Pleurs
Elle te montre où chercher
Parmi les déchets et les fleurs
Dans les algues, il y a des rêves
Des enfants au petit matin
Qui se penchent vers l'amour
Ils se penchent comme ça toujours
Et Suzanne tient le miroir

Tu veux rester à ses côtés
Maintenant, tu n'as plus peur
De voyager les yeux fermés
Une blessure étrange dans ton coeur

Nel suo posto in riva al fiume
Suzanne ti ha voluto accanto
e ora ascolti andar le barche
ora puoi dormirle al fianco
sì lo sai che lei è pazza
ma per questo sei con lei
E ti offre il tè e le arance
che ha portato dalla Cina
e proprio mentre stai per dirle
che non hai amore da offrirle
lei è già sulla tua onda
e fa che il fiume ti risponda
che da sempre siete amanti
E tu vuoi viaggiarle insieme
vuoi viaggiarle insieme ciecamente
perché sai che le hai toccato il corpo
il suo corpo perfetto con la mente

E Gesù fu un marinaio
finché camminò sull'acqua
e restò per molto tempo a guardare solitario
dalla sua torre di legno
e poi quando fu sicuro
che soltanto agli annegati
fosse dato di vederlo disse :"Siate marinai
finché il mare vi libererà"
E lui stesso fu spezzato
ma più umano, abbandonato
nella nostra mente lui non naufragò
E tu vuoi viaggiargli insieme
vuoi viaggiargli insieme ciecamente
forse avrai fiducia in lui
perché ti ha toccato il corpo con la mente

E Suzanne ti dà la mano
ti accompagna lungo il fiume
porta addosso stracci e piume
presi in qualche dormitorio
il sole scende come miele
su di lei donna del porto
che ti indica i colori
tra la spazzatura e i fiori
scopri eroi tra le alghe marce
e bambini nel mattino
che si sporgono all'amore
e così faranno sempre 
e Suzanne regge lo specchio
E tu vuoi viaggiarle insieme
vuoi viaggiarle insieme ciecamente
perché sai che ti ha toccato il corpo
il tuo corpo perfetto con la mente

Suzanne tar dig med
Hem till sig nära floden
Du kan höra båtar ljuda
Sent på natten bredvid henne
När du vet att hon är tokig
Är det därför du är där
Och hon bjuder te och frukter
Komma ändå ifrån Kina
Och just när du ska säga
Jag har ingen kärlek till dig
Får hon in dig på sin våglängd
Och hon låter floden svara
Att du alltid älskat henne
Och visst vill du gå med henne
När du följer är allt väl
Och hon vet att det är sanning
Att du har snuddat hennes kropp
med din själ
Jesus var en sjöman
Den gång han gick på vattnet
och hans ögon sökte länge
Från ett ödsligt torn av trä
Och när han visste säkert
Bara drunknade har kunskap
Sa han alla ska bli sjömän
Tills dess havet ger dem frihet
Men själv så var han bruten
Långt innan himlen syntes försakad
Nästan mänsklig för sjunken för
Din visdom
Som en sten
Och visst vill du följa honom
När du följer är allt väl
Och kanhända är det sanning
Att han har snuddat vid din kropp
Med sin själ
Nu tar Suzanne din hand
Och hon leder dig till floden
Hon är klädd i lump och fjädrar
Som nå'n annan burit förut
Solen flödar lugnt som honung
Ner på din och flodens drottning
Och hon visar för ditt öga
Där bland sopor och bland blommor
Finns det hjältar mitt bland sj8öräs
Det finns barn i någons morgon
Som är svaga för nå'ns kärlek
Där finns svagheten för evigt
Och Suzanne häller spegeln
och visst vill du gå med henne
När ni följs åt är allt väl
Och du vet att det är sanning
Att hon har snuddat vid din kropp
Med sin själ

Susan ta'r dig ned sig
til sit hus nær ved havet
du ka' høre fjerne skibe
du ka' lægge dig hos hende
og du ved at hun er småskør
det er derfor du er her
og hun gi'r dig te og frugter
som er fløjet ind fra Kina
og da du vil sige
at du ingenting ka gi' hende
så hun får dig til at lytte
og du hører havet svare
du har elsket hende altid

Og du ved at I skal følges
du vil følge hende blindt
og du ved hun stoler på dig
du har rørt en krop så fuldendt
med dit sind

Og Jesus selv var sømand
da han vandrede på havet
og han spejdede langt og længe
fra et ensomt tårn af tømmer
og da han endelig indså
at kun druknede ku' se ham sa'e han:
"nu er alle sømænd
indtil havet vil befri dem"
men selv brød han sammen
før at himlens dør ku' åbnes
forladt ligesom et menneske
sank han gennem din bevidsthed
som en sten

Og du ved at I skal følges
du vil følges med ham blindt
og du tror du stoler på ham
han har rørt din krop så fuldendt
med dit sind

Susan ta'r din hånd
og hun fører dig til havet
hun er klædt i fjer og pjalter
som hun har fra frelsens hære
og nu spreder solen honning
over havnen sin veninde
og hun lærer dig at søge
og hun lærer dig at søge
mellem affald mellem blomster
der er helte skjult i søgræs
der er børn i hvert et daggry
og de griber efter ømhed
og de griber dig for altid
imens hun holder spejlet

og du ved at i skal følges
du vil følge hende blindt
og du stoler kun på hende
du har rørt en krop så fuldendt
med dit sind

There's this girl that's been on my mind
All the time, Sussudio oh, oh
Now she don't even know my name
But I think she likes me just the same
Sussudio oh, oh

I feel so good if I just say the word
Sussudio, just say the word

Now I know that I'm too young
My love has just begun
Sussudio oh, oh
Ooh give me a chance, give me a sign
I'll show her anytime
Sussudio oh, oh

Ah, I've just got to have her, have her now
I've got to get closer but I don't know how
She makes me nervous and makes me scared
But I feel so good if I just say the word

Süße Sünden
Performer(s): Ulla Meinecke



Mein Arm schläft ein, ich bin noch wach
Dein Kopf wird mir jetzt schwer, Du denkst laut nach
ich spür, wie Du anfängst zu einzufriern
und fühle neben mir Dein Herz explodiern
jetzt wirds mir in Deinem Bett zu eng
denn da sind Du und ich und die Frau an die Du denkst
Du wolltest Feuer aber keinen Alarm
Du warst so heiß aber kein bißchen warm
und fragst, warum ich dir das jetzt erzähle
es gibt keine süßen Sünden ohne Seele
jetzt wirds mir in Deinem Bett zu eng
denn da sind du und ich und die Frau an die Du denkst
private Blicke, Dein Mitternachtscharme
und Komplimente am Telefon
jetzt liegst Du hier bei mir in meinem Arm
und was Du brauchst, ist Absolution
Du wolltest endlich wieder Jäger sein
auf der Spur von nem feuchten Reh
spielen wie ein wildes Kind im frischen Schnee
doch jetzt leuchtet Deine Digitaluhr im Dunkeln
und ich glaub ich geh
jetzt wirds mir in Deinem Bett zu eng
denn da sind Du und ich und die Frau an die du denkst

Everytime you kiss me I'm still not certain that you love me
Every time you hold me I'm still not certain that you care
Though you keep on saying you really, really, really love me 
Do you speak the same words to someone else when I'm not there?

Suspicion torments my heart
Suspicion keeps us apart
Suspicion why torture me?

Everytime you call me and tell me we should meet tomorrow
I can't help but think that you're meeting someone else tonight
Why should our romance just keep on causing me such sorrow
Why am I so doubtful whenever you are out of sight?

Suspicion torments my heart
Suspicion keeps us apart
Suspicion why torture me?

Darling, if you love me, I beg you wait a little longer
Wait until I drive all these foolish fears out of my mind
How I hope and pray that our love will keep on growing stronger
Maybe I'm suspicious 'cause true love is so hard to find

Suspicion torments my heart
Suspicion keeps us apart
Suspicion why torture me?

Susie Cincinnati
Got a groovy little motor car
She lives for the night
And her husband's a security guard

Her looks aren't exactly a plus
A-but it doesn't matter to us
Because she knows where it's at
And she gets you there in seconds flat

She knows all the honkies
And the kids are all home in bed
(Ooo ride Susie Cincinnati ride)
She'd rather do this
Than anything else instead
(Ooo ride Susie Cincinnati)
She got the nicotine fit
And before she discovered it
Everybody in the back seat suffocated

Susie Cincinnati we thought you were a winner
Susie Cincinnati city's number one sinner
Yeah
Susie Cincinnati we thought you were a winner
Woah
Susie Cincinnati city's number one sinner

Woah yeah

She'll always pick you up
When the others go and let you down
(To the ride to the ride Susie Cincinnati)
In her little red cab she's scootin' all over town
(To the ride to the ride Susie Cincinnati)
She's gotta mind the meter too
All polished up it shines for you
But it's just for looks
Because she'll give the ride free to you

Yeah

Susan When She Tried
Composer(s): Don Reid

and multiple other artists



I got over Charlotte Thompson, Goldie Johnson
Lord they done me wrong
I took it hard with Peggy Harper
She hurt me bad, but not for long
There's just one I remember
Makes me feel funny down inside
I'd trade 'em all for just one hour
Of Susan when she tried

No, there's never been a woman
Who could make me weak inside
And give me what I needed 
Like Susan when she tried

It gets worse in the summer
When the nights are hot and long
And it's bad in December
When they play those Christmas songs
So if you ask me and I don't tell you
Bet your sweet bottom dollar I lied
'Cause there's never been one better
Than Susan when she tried

No other girl could ever take the place of you
Though you're hurtin' me 
You know I'll always be thinkin' of you
Girl I always love you

Love love love love...
I love you, yes I do, I do 
I love you, yes I do, I do

Sus Ojos Se Cerraron
Composer(s): Carlos Gardel - Alfredo Le Pera
Performer(s): Carlos Gardel



Sus ojos se cerraron
y el mundo sigue andando
su boca que era mía
ya no me besa más
Se apagaron los ecos
de su reír sonoro
y es cruel este silencio
que me hace tanto mal
Fue mía la piadosa
dulzura de sus manos
que dieron a mis penas
caricias de bondad
y ahora que la evoco
hundido en mi quebranto
las lágrimas trenzadas
se niegan a brotar
y no tengo el consuelo
de poder llorar

¿Por qué tus alas tan cruel quemó la vida?
¿Por qué esta mueca siniestra de la suerte?
Quise abrigarla, y más pudo la muerte
¡Cómo me duele y se ahonda mi herida!
Yo sé que ahora vendrán caras extrañas
con su limosna de alivio a mi tormento
Todo es mentira, mentira ese lamento
¡hoy está solo mi corazón!

Como perros de presa
las penas traicioneras
celando su cariño
galopaban detrás
y escondida en las aguas
de su mirada buena
la muerte agazapada
marcaba su compás
En vano yo alentaba
febril una esperanza
clavó en mi carne viva
sus garras el dolor
y mientras en las calles
en loca algarabía
¡el carnaval del mundo
gozaba y se reía!
¡Burlándose el destino
me robó su amor!

Is it that we've been together much too long?

The answer may not be in black and white
We're always trying to prove who's right or wrong
Yet now we're giving up without a fight
But I know when you're gone
I'll wish I held on

So, baby, surrender to me
There'll be no holding back now
So, baby, surrender to me tonight

I don't want our love to cause you so much pain
If this is how it's going to be, I'll walk away
Oh, neither one of us should ever say goodbye
Let's forget about the past and who's to blame
'Cause when this is all gone
We'll wish we'd held on

So, baby, surrender to me
There'll be no holding back now
So, baby, surrender to me tonight

How could this love be in danger
That used to be so good, so right?
To think that fate could make us strangers
Has thrown me in your arms tonight!

So, baby, surrender to me
There'll be no holding back now
So, baby, surrender to me tonight
So, baby, surrender ...

Quand le soc de roc de saisons
Sue nos visages et sur nos fronts
Aura creusé de lourds sillons
De rides
Quand nos enfants ayant grandi
Auront abandonné le nid
Laissant nos cœurs affaiblis
Le vide
Quand nos gestes seront plus lents
Que nous verrons passé le temps
Avec un air étrangement
Lucide
Quand nous n'aurons plus d'avenir
Nous remuerons des souvenirs
Terre qui ne peut devenir
Aride

Quand à pas lents et incertains
Nous visiterons des jardins
Qui comme nos fronts seront peints
De givre
Quand au prix de milliers d'effort
Nous chercherons sans doute encore
À tuer le temps déjà mort
De vivre
Quand nous ne serons désormais
Que deux vies liées sans projet
Nous ouvrirons avec regret
Le livre
Que nous aurons au fil des ans
Écrit sur les pages du temps
Ou deux mots manqueront pourtant
À suivre

Quand enfin la vie parcourue
Prêt a entrer dans l'inconnu
Je te regarderai perdue
Et blême
Quand dans ton regard je verrai
Que sans notre amour désormais
Tes jours ne seront plus jamais
Les mêmes
Quand mes yeux ne verront plus rien
Que ma main cherchera ta main
À l'heure où parler sera un
Problème
Après avoir accepté Dieu
Juste avant de fermer les yeux
Encore une fois si je peux
Je te dirai comme un adieu

Je t'aime

Surrender, why don't you surrender?
How long can your lips live without a kiss?
Surrender, I beg you surrender
How long can your heart resist?

I'll bring you a love you can cling to
A love that won't be untrue
So please be tender
And, darling, surrender
And love me as I love you

I'll bring you a love you can cling to
A love that won't be untrue
So please be tender
And, darling, surrender
And love me as I love you

Mother told me, yes, she told me I'd meet girls like you
She also told me, stay away, you'll never know what you'll catch
Just the other day I heard a soldier falling off some Indonesian junk that's going round

Mommy's alright, daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird
Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away, ay, ay, ay

Father says, your mother's right, she's really up on things
Before we married, mommy served in the wacs in the Philippines
Now, I had heard the wacs recruited old maids for the war
But mommy isn't one of those, I've known her all these years

Mommy's alright, daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird
Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away, ay, ay, ay

Whatever happened to all this season's losers of the year?
Ev'ry time I got to thinking, where'd they disappear?
When I woke up, mom and dad are rolling on the couch
Rolling numbers, rock and rolling, got my kiss records out

Mommy's alright, daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird
Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away, ay, ay, ay

Away
Away
