De Lek / The Lek (a river in Nederland)

Before, last year
I would go with my father
Riding our bikes along the Lek
Over very narrow dikes
Where you had to be careful
Because the cars would drive like crazy
And sometimes we would sit down on a fence
With the cows behind us
And the ships in front of us
And we would say nothing
Because we would understand each other so well
And my father would have a smoke every now and then
Because my father was a heavy smoker

After that, still last year
My father got ill
That was quite unexpected
He stayed at home for a fortnight
But he kept being sick
So they eventually took him to the hospital
And it turned out to be much worse than he expected
At first he stayed in a ward
With three others
But soon he got a room
For him alone
And the disease got hold of him more and more
Until he died in the night

Almost every day
I think about my father
And I have to count to ten
Try to get hold of myself
And push away my tears
Because I think its childish to be sad
But I find myself crying at count seven
And my mother sees me
Blowing my nose again
Says: Please try, boy
Do something fun, go outside
Maybe take your bike to the Lek?
But I never want to see it again in my life

[hoepje]

bah.... helemaal verneukt

[Elmocelmo]

@mamavanR een blik op zijn gzicht en ik zie een en al emotie...

maar ik ben het er wel mee eens dat hij te vrij met de melodie is omgesprongen, zonder die versierinkjes was het mooier geweest

[mamavanR]

Jim zingt het naar mijn mening veel te melodieus. Veel te gemaakt, geen emotie. Deze versie maakt bij mij helemaal niets los, terwijl ik bij de originele kvk-versie nog steeds tranen in mijn ogen krijg.

Super mooi gezongen door Jim!!!!!

[noomie1996]

toen ik 6 was ongeveer,( kan ook wat ouder of jonger zijn geweest ) durfde ik dit liedje nooit te luisteren omdat ik dan altijd bang was dat mijn vader dood ging ,... maar naaderhand begon ik dat liedje wel vaak te luistern en toen kreegf k ook nog tranen in mn ogen , ( ja van de orgineele versie dan ) maar jim vind ik het ook wel goed doen , maar vind de orgineele versie tog mooier :$

[MyFavoTubes]

Bah, lelijk. Vind het origineel veel mooier

[kavalanina]

Zonder uithalen is het nummer mooier.

Jammer.

[fcgole]

die laatste uithaal is wel jammer!

maar voor de rest doet die het wel mooi .. (:

[11061985]

beetje jammer dat hij de originele melodielijn niet volgt, ik hoor liever het origineel

[Meabelle]

Wow dat doet Jim echt goed! Kippenvel!
