Engelse vertaling van de tekst …..'”There must be people”
There must be people
who light suns,
before the world gets rained out.
People who put up summer kites
when it’s icy winter,
and who sprinkle confetti
among the snowflakes.
Those people need to be there.
There must be people
at the exit of the cemetery
selling ice creams,
and playing
playing harmonica.
There must be people,
who stand on their chairs,
to hang stars
in the fog.
Who make spring
From fallen leaves,
and from fallen shadows,
light.
There must be people,
who warm us
and who in a cloudless sky
yet are in the clouds
so high
they jump rope
along the rainbow
when someone has said:
come into my arms
That’s the kind of people I want to belong to
Who keep dancing in the rain at the garden party
Even if the musicians have already gone home
There must be people
Who on the grey asphalt
in big white letters
LOVE
People who carve names
in a tree
full of ripe fruit
because there are so many others
who flee from the butterflies
and throw stones
at the first blue of spring
because they are afraid
of the flowers
and are afraid of:
i love you
Yes,
there must be people
with tears
like silver beads
that shine in the dark
and greeting the morning
when daylight comes in
on stocking feet
You know,
there must be people
who blow bubbles
and know of no time
who are childishly amazed
at something bursting
of beauty
They shout from the rooftops
that there is love
and wonder
when all the others shout:
everything makes no sense
then they keep shouting:
no, the world is not going down
And they see in every end
a new beginning
They are a bit of a clown,
first the heart
and then the mind
and they write with their umbrella
i love you in the sand
because they are so gigantic
absorbed in life
and fall
and fall
and fall
and get up
That’s the kind of people I want to be with
who keep dancing in the rain at the garden party
even if the musicians have already gone home
the music goes on
the music goes on
