Op Straat


Op Straat
((Adapted from: Streets Of London (by Ralph McTell) - 1969))
((German Version: Straßen Unserer Stadt (by Jasmine Bonnin - 1973))
Composer(s): Ralph McTell - Guus Meeuwis
Performer(s): Guus Meeuwis & Vagant - 2001
Zie je daar die oude man
graaiend in een vuilnisbak
zoekend naar iets bruikbaars
voor in zijn oude plastic zak
net iets teveel meegemaakt
waardoor hij dakloos is geraakt
praat in zichzelf
over hoe het vroeger was
En dan zeg jij
dat je eenzaam bent
omdat het even tegen zit
loop even met me door de stad
en kijk wat er gebeurt op straat
dan zal je zien
dat het met jou zo slecht niet gaat
Zie je daar dat meisje
ze is net zeventien
heeft nu al zo`n tien jaar
haar ouders niet gezien
muurtje om zich heen gebouwd
omdat ze niemand meer vertrouwt
vraag je haar naar liefde
dan noemt ze jou een prijs
En dan zeg jij
dat je eenzaam bent
omdat het even tegen zit
loop even met me door de stad
en kijk wat er gebeurt op straat
dan zal je zien
dat het met jou zo slecht niet gaat
Zie je daar die oude vrouw
die rustig voor de regen schuilt
deze bui is minder
dan de tranen die ze heeft gehuild
die vroeger een gezin bezat
maar later klap op klap gehad
nu sjouwt ze haar verleden
in een zelfgemaakte tas
En dan zeg jij
dat je eenzaam bent
omdat het even tegen zit
loop even met me door de stad
en kijk wat er gebeurt op straat
dan zal je zien
dat het met jou zo slecht niet gaat
Zie je daar die jongeman
hij is bijna al zijn tanden kwijt
hij beet zich stuk
op het vergif van deze tijd
elk uur een marteling
altijd zoekend naar één ding
kruipt eens per dag door het oog van de naald
En dan zeg jij
dat je eenzaam bent
omdat het even tegen zit
loop even met me door de stad
en kijk wat er gebeurt op straat
dan zal je zien
dat het met jou zo slecht niet gaat

You And I (Kenny Rogers)


You And I
Composer(s): Barry Gibb; Maurice Gibb; Robin Gibb
Performer(s): Kenny Rogers
All the man I am
You are the reason for me
You help me understand
I'll be your shelter from the rain that never ends
Girl, you've always got a friend in me
All the love we had
I should've know our love was older than the past
Throwing my life away on songs I never heard
Just the speaking of a single word
I made you die inside but you loved me
And don't believe the world
No, the world can't give us paradise
When you make your love to me
Till I just could not see the light
As long as I got you
As long as you got me
As long as we got you and I
I won't let you down
No better love will be there when you turn around
I'll be living for you till the ocean turns to sand
There will never be any man
Could love you just the way that I love you
So don't believe the world
No, the world can't give up paradise
In the eye within the storm
Just when I could not make it through the night
As long as I got you
As long as you got me
As long as we got you and I

Straßen Unserer Stadt

Composer(s): Ralph McTell - Christian Heilburg
Performer(s): Jasmine Bonnin - 1973
Siehst du dort den alten Mann mit ausgetret'nen Schuh'n
schlurft er über's Pflaster, und er sieht so müde aus
Hin und wieder hält er an, nicht nur um sich auszuruh'n
denn er hat kein Ziel und auch kein Zuhaus
Doch du redest nur von Einsamkeit, und dass die Sonne für dich scheint
Komm und gib mir deine Hand, ich führe dich durch uns're Straßen
Ich zeig dir Menschen, die wircklich einsam sind
Kennst du die alte Frau, die auf dem Marktplatz steht
mit schneeweißem Haar, welke Blumen in der Hand?
Die Leute geh'n vorbei, sie merkt nicht, wie die Zeit vergeht
So steht sie jeden Tag und niemand stört sich daran
Doch du redest nur von Einsamkeit, und dass die Sonne für dich scheint
Komm und gib mir deine Hand, ich führe dich uns're Straßen
Ic zeig dir Menschen, die wircklich einsam sind
Im Bahnhofsrestaurante sitzt um ein Uhr in der Frühe
derselbe alte Mann und er sitzt ganz allei
Er ist der letzte Gast, und das Aufsteh'n macht ihm Mühe
fünf leere Stunden, fünf leere Gläser Wein
Doch du redest nur von Einsamkeit und dass die Sonne für dich scheint
Komm und gib mir deine Hand, ich führe dich durch uns're Straßen
Ich zeig dir Menschen, die wircklich einsam sind.
Siehst du dort den altenMann, mit ausgetret'nen Schuh'n
schlurft er über's Pflaster, und er sieht so müde aus
Denn in einer Welt, in der nur Jugend zählt
ist für ihn kein Platz mehr und kein Zuhaus
Doch du redest nur von Einsamkeit, und dass die Sonne für dich scheint
Komm und gib mir deine Hand, ich führe dich durch uns're Straßen
Ich eig dir Menschen, die wircklich einsam sind

You And I (Glenn Miller)


You And I
Composer(s): Meredith Wilson
Performer(s): Glenn Miller;
and various other artists
Poet and musician sing the same old tune
To the sweethearts that come and go
Let your intuition aided by the moon
Tell you little things the poet doesn't know
Darling, you and I know the reason why a summer sky is blue
And we know why birds in the trees sing melodies too
And why love will grow from the first "hello" until the last "goodbye"
So to sweet romance, there is just one answer, you and I
Darling, you and I know the reason why a summer sky is blue

Streets Of Laredo
Streets Of Laredo
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Faro Burke & The Dealers - 1960
and multiple other artists
As I walked out in the streets of Laredo
As I walked out in Laredo one day
I spied a young cowboy wrapped up in white linen
Wrapped in white linen as cold as the clay
"Oh beat the drums slowly and play the fife lowly
Singy the Death March as you carry me along
Take me to the valley, there lay the sod o'er me
I'm a young cowboy and know I´ve done wrong"
"I see by your outfit that you are a cowboy"
These words he did say as I boldly walked by
"Come sit down beside me and hear my sad story
Got shot in the breast and I know I must die!"
"My friends and relations they live in the Nation
They know not where their dear boy has gone
I first came to Texas and hired to a ranchman
Oh I'm a young cowboy and I know I've done wrong"
"It was once in the saddle I used to go dashing
It was once in the saddle I used to go gay
First to the dram house and then to the card house
Got shot in the breast and I'm dying today"
"Get six jolly cowboys to carry my coffin
Get six pretty maidens to sing me a song
Put bunches of roses all over my coffin
Put roses to deaden the sods as they fall"
"Go gather around you a group of young cowboys
And tell them the story of this my sad fate
Tell one and the other before they go further
To stop their wild roving before it's too late"
"Oh, bury me beside my knife and my shooter
My spurs on my heels, my rifle by my side
And over my coffin put a bottle of brandy
That the cowboys may drink as they carry me along"
"Go fetch me some water, a cool cup of water
To cool my parched lips," the poor cowboy then said
Before I returned his spirit had left him
Had gone to his Maker, the cowboy was dead
We beat the drum slowly and played the fife lowly
And bitterly wept as we bore him along
For we all loved our comrade, so brave, young, and handsome
We all loved our comrade although he'd done wrong

Now listen up
You've got a lot to learn
And if you don't learn you don't eat
But if you're tough

You Always Hurt The One You Love
Composer(s): Doris Fisher; Allan Roberts
Performer(s): The Mills Brothers;
and various other artists
You always hurt the one you love
The one you shouldn't hurt at all
You always take the sweetest rose
And crush it 'till the petals fall
You always break the kindest heart
With a hasty word you can't recall, so
If I broke your heart last night
It's because I love you most of all
You always hurt the one you love
The one you shouldn't hurt at all
You always take the sweetest rose
And crush it 'till the petals fall
You always break the kindest heart
With a hasty word you can't recall, so
If I broke your heart last night
It's because I love you most of all
You always hurt the one you love
The one you shouldn't hurt at all
You always take the sweetest rose
Crush it 'till the petals fall
You always break the kindest heart
With a hasty word you can't recall, so
If I broke your heart last night
It's because I love you most of all

Streets Of Bakersfield


Streets Of Bakersfield
Composer(s): Homer Joy
First release by: Buck Owens and his Buckaroos - 1973
Covered by multiple other artists
I came here looking for something
I couldn't find anywhere else
Hey, I'm not trying to be nobody
Just want a chance to be myself
I've done a thousand miles of thumbin'
I've worn holes in both my heels
Trying to find me something better
On the streets of Bakersfield
Hey, you don't know me but you don't like me
You say you care less how I feel
But how many of you that sit and judge me
Have ever walked the streets of Bakersfield?
Spent some time in San Francisco
Spent a night there in the can
They throw this drunk man in my jail cell
Took fifteen dollars from that man
Left him my watch and my old house key
Don't want folks thinkin' that I'd steal
Then I thanked him as I was leaving, and
I headed for the streets of Bakersfield
Hey, you don't know me but you don't like me
You say you care less how I feel
But how many of you that sit and judge me
Have ever walked the streets of Bakersfield?
Hey, you don't know me but you don't like me
You say you care less how I feel
But how many of you that sit and judge me
Have ever walked the streets of Bakersfield?
How many of you that sit and judge me
Have ever walked the streets of Bakersfield?

You Ain't Woman Enough (To Take My Man)
Composer(s): Loretta Lynn
Performer(s): Loretta Lynn;
and various other artists
You've come to tell me something
you say I ought to know
That he don't love me anymore
and I'll have to let him go
You say you're gonna take him
oh but I don't think you can
Cause you ain't woman enough to take my man
Women like you they're a dime a dozen
you can buy 'em anywhere
For you to get to him I'd have to move over
and I'm gonna stand right here
It'll be over my dead body
so get out while you can
Cause you ain't woman enough to take my man
(Instrumental Break)
Sometimes a man starts lookin'
at things that he don't need
He took a second look at you
but he's in love with me
Well I don't know where that leaves you
oh but I know where I'll stand
And you ain't woman enough to take my man
Women like you they're a dime a dozen
you can buy 'em anywhere
For you to get to him I'd have to move over
and I'm gonna stand right here
It'll be over my dead body
so get out while you can
Cause you ain't woman enough to take my man
No you ain't woman enough to take my man

Everywhere I hear the sound of marching, charging feet, boy
'Cause summer's here and the time is right for fighting in the street, boy

'Cause in sleepy London town
There's just no place for a street fighting man
No
Hey! Think the time is right for a palace revolution
'Cause where I live the game to play is compromise solution
Well, then what can a poor boy do
Except to sing for a rock 'n' roll band
'Cause in sleepy London town
There's no place for a street fighting man
No
Hey! Said my name is called disturbance
I'll shout and scream, I'll kill the king, I'll rail at all his servants
Well, what can a poor boy do
Except to sing for a rock 'n' roll band

Ah, Bleak And Chill The Wintry Wind
Composer(s): Alfred Shaddick Burt - Rev. Bates Gilbert Burt
Performer(s): The Singers Unlimited
and multiple other artists
Ah, bleak and chill the wintry wind
But colder far be he
Who hath no warmth of love to share
With Christ the babe that Mary bare
On His nativity, on His nativity
Dark, dark the night when Christ was born
But deeper shadows be
Within the heart that has no joy
With Mary and her heavenly boy
On His nativity, on His nativity
Peace be to them, and right good cheer
Who carol merrily
And hie them forth when church bells ring
To kneel before their newborn King
On His nativity, on His nativity

You
Composer(s): Justin Hayward; John Lodge
Performer(s): The Moody Blues
You don't even know my name
Time was when you would
Take the love you've given all away
Take a part of me
You don't even walk my road
Can't find where you turned
Looked away and you were gone
Now we're on our own
Old man is this why we're alone?
I, I believe
What is lost forever
Has brought the change in me
I, I believe
What is lost forever
Has brought the change in me
You don't even know my world
I've tried hard to see
If I'd found the world you're looking for
There'd be a change in me
You don't even know my name
Time was when you would
Take the love you've given all away
Take a part of me
You've gone and changed the world I see
I, I believe
What is lost for ever has brought the change in me
I, I believe
What is lost for ever has brought the change in me
