Waarom fluister ik je naam nog
Benny Neyman Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Vergeten
Hoe zou ik jou kunnen vergeten
De jaren zijn voorbij gegleden
Voorgoed verdwenen in de tijd
En dromen
Ik zal wel altijd blijven dromen
Je hebt me alle hoop ontnomen
't Is gewoon verleden tijd hmmmm

Maar waarom fluister ik jouw naam nog
Hoor ik steeds je stem
Ik zie je levensgroot hier staan nog
Omdat ik niets vergeten ben
Waarom ruik ik steeds jouw geur nog
Of je bij me bent
Wat is er toen met mij gebeurd toch
Ach had ik jou maar nooit gekend

M'n leven
't Gaat gewoon z'n gang, m'n leven
Maar soms verlang ik toch heel even
Verlang ik even weer naar jou
Verloren
Ik heb de moed allang verloren
We wisten bijna van tevoren
Dat dit niet eeuwig duren zou hmmmm

Maar waarom fluister ik jouw naam nog
Hoor ik steeds je stem
Ik zie je levensgroot hier staan nog
Omdat ik niets vergeten ben
Waarom ruik ik steeds jouw geur nog
Of je bij me bent




Wat is er toen met mij gebeurd toch
Ach had ik jou maar nooit gekend

Overall Meaning

The song "Waarom fluister ik je naam nog" by Benny Neyman is a beautiful ballad about lost love and the remnants of a past relationship that still linger in the present. The lyrics depict the singer trying to move on from a past relationship, but finding it difficult to forget their former partner. The opening lines acknowledge the fact that time has passed since the relationship ended, but the memories and dreams of their ex-lover continue to haunt the singer.


The chorus of the song is particularly poignant, as it expresses the singer's confusion and sadness over their inability to let go of the past. They wonder why they still whisper their ex-lover's name, why they can still hear their voice and smell their scent, and what it was about their past relationship that affected them so deeply. The final verse of the song acknowledges that the singer has accepted that their former partner will never return, but the longing for what was lost still remains.


Overall, the song is a powerful expression of how past relationships can continue to affect us, even years after they have ended. The melody and Neyman's emotive performance only add to the poignancy of the lyrics.

Wat een mooi Lied van Benny, ik luister er heel vaak naar! Soms word ik er emotioneel van, ivm het overlijden van mijn lieve man haast 3 jaar geleden.

Philip Van der Veken

To Forget How should I ever be able to forget you The years have passed Gone, forever in time And dreams I'll probably keep dreaming all the time You have taken all my hope It's just the past (Chorus) But why do I still whisper your name, do I keep hearing your voice I still see you standing here as in reality Because I can't forget Why do I still smell your scent, as if you are still here with me What has happened to me back then Oh, if only I would have never known you

Przepiekna piosenka...Pozdrawiam.
