This afternoon I watched a replay of RTL Late Night. The host of this show is Humberto Tan and I love his sincere warm personality. In this episode, a Dutch singer Guus Meeuwis, sang a beautiful ballad. The lyrics really touched me. For my international followers, very short summarizing; it’s about believing, trusting it’s possible to build bridges, dreaming of it. Maybe naive, not sure yet how to get ‘there’ and the refrain: Let me be in that delusion.
Probably not the best translation, but I think you’ll understand the significance.
I’m such a naive little creature when it comes to the possibility of us all living next to and/or with each other in peace. Well…let me 😉
Having written this, I also realize it’s time to pursue another dream of me. Contribute to the realization of a Dreampack for each and everyone here on this planet. Over the upcoming X-weeks I’m going to refocus on my website Dreampack and for now, I leave you with this beautiful song:
Artist: Guus Meeuwis – Song: Laat mij in die waan
Ik denk nog steeds dat het kan
Iedereen naast elkaar
Soms droom ik ervan
Ik weet niet goed hoe het moet
De sleutel nog niet
Hoe het werkt, wat het doet
Een rotsvast vertrouwen
Ik geloof dat het kan
Om bruggen te bouwen
Soms droom ik ervan
Laat mij in die waan
Laat mij in die waan
Laat mij in die waan
….
Ik zie om me heen dat het beeft
Altijd die angst
Dat het wringt tot het breekt
Misschien ben ik wat naí¯ef
Of gewoon wereldvreemd
Maar ik heb het zo lief
Er zit zoveel schoonheid
In het kleine geluk
Een gulzig verlangen
Maak dat nou niet stuk
Laat mij in die waan
Laat mij in die waan
Laat mij in die waan
…..
Een rotsvast vertrouwen
Ik geloof dat het kan
Om bruggen te bouwen
Soms droom ik ervan
Laat mij in die waan
Laat mij in die waan
Laat mij in die waan

I don’t know the singer or the song, I’m afraid, but I do recognize the feeling of being moved by a piece of music. I’m all for living in peace too, so I have a feeling I might agree with the lyrics, if I could read them. 🙂
The lyrics reminded me a little bit of my all-time favorite song : Somewhere by Barbra Streisand. To give you more of an idea of the feeling the song gave/gives me 😉
Sounds like a powerful song! 🙂
The second language you used after English, Is it the national language spoke at Holland? If so, how do you say, your posts capture a lot of my attention while on read and i love them for what they are! – Cezane 🙂
Yes, it is written in Dutch (the official language of The Netherlands. Holland is a province in The Netherlands 😉 )
It’s a little bit difficult for me to translate, since ‘love’ in that sentence can mean different things in Dutch. But I’m very thankful for your compliment! 🙂
Coming from you, it must be a lovely song.
Thanks Kally!
