Steve Mariat Teunis - Ay Sranan (CD Paramaribo)

English translation: Yes Suriname

Yes Suriname
I ran away from you
One day you were weeping
For many years I have searched
For a place to feel like home

I found warm love in a cold place
I let my loved ones look into my heart
Let them see what I feel for you
Yes Suriname

When you were struggling
I wasn't with you
I was fighting my own battles
Sometimes calling your name out loud
Suriname

Maybe you think that I forgot about you
Because I stayed away for so long
You see, life was not treating me so well
Suriname

We both made it through the years
And we both got scarred
But these scars are not strong enough
to keep us apart
I want to look you straight in the eyes
and I want to tell you so much

Yes, Suriname

De tekstvertaling zie je wanneer je klikt op 'Meer weergeven', hier vlak boven..

Just one word: wow! I don't know how you do it, but it's almost as if I can feel what you're feeling with this song. Although I can't really imagine how it must feel like, having to leave your beloved country (and friends and family) behind...

[mfhilgers]

Although I can't understand the text, it sounds very very good. You can hear and feel the sentiment.

Great performer!

Sad- i remember the day in 1982/ 1983 when you came to my house and told me you had to flee.......
