Rio
Maywood Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Saying goodbye to loneliness.
I am on my way to Rio
The place where I want to be.
You know that I soon will leave
So don't try to make me stay.
I'm on my way to Rio
I'm coming back some day.
Got to live a little longer
Don't you start to cry
Got to be a little stronger.
Don't you ask me why
Got to live a little longer...
Rio de Janeiro - Rio
Land of sun
Samba and wine -
Rio de Janeiro - Rio
I feel fine.
Do you believe in love? Do you believe in happyness?
Come with me to Rio
The place where I want to be.
Dancing the night away
No time for tears and sorrow.
I'm going there tomorrow
I'm coming back someday.
Don't you ask me why
Got to live a little longer...
Rio de Janeiro - Rio...
Rio de Janeiro - Rio...

Duim omhoog! Zeker mooie jaren en voor mij (toen 1981) als klein mannetje een vrolijk nummer. Door de ophokplicht zie ik af en toe wat van "Heimwee TV" wat opvalt is dat ik veel lieve landgenoten zie en hoe mooi Nederland toen was. Helaas lijken wij in een globalistische fascistische communisme 3.0 dictatuur te komen, met steeds minder rechten en politiek die steeds verder van ons af komt te staan (zonder dat wij daadwerkelijk invloed kunnen uitoefenen). Het is belangrijk dat wij Nederland kunnen behouden en goed door geven aan onze kinderen, eventuele kleinkinderen en alles wat daarna komt.
Globalisme 1 van v n en e u faciliteert globalisme 2. Grote stad na grote stad, stad na stad en dorp na dorp zinken weg in complete puinhopen, chaos en geweld vooral tegen ons, dè Europeanen. Dergelijke politici gaan dat NOOIT voor ons oplossen. Zij komen hun sociale contract aan ons NIET na. Over 10 jaar staat ons land bij voortgaand globalisme er weer slechter voor. Het moet anders in Europa!
Later dit jaar hoop ik weer in deze provincie in Europa te komen. Deze plaats sla ik over, in 2018 was hier al 99% consensus bereikt (100% CONSENSUS is het doel, slecht plan). Svp instarten op 0.43 en verder. Globalisme 2: "Demographics are destiny'/ "The "diversity" lie" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Em92Hrb2s90&t=13s
Gistermiddag zag ik "Late at night" op Nederland 2 bij Tobbedansen (Heimwee TV). Ik sluit af met een mooi nostalgisch nummer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1NSGJB7Fe1s
