Reisje Langs De Rijn
Willy Alberti & Willeke Alberti Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The shadows that keep haunting your soul
Drag you again into the cold
Time to rise!
The challenge is being thrown down from the skies

Hear the call of the horns singing the anthems of war,
Hear the call to arms
Our future's been forged somewhere on the anvils of the gods,
Time for the first strike to land!

Plagued by the demon of throes,
Exploiting your weakness




Cast aside your fears, raise your sword!
And laughing sends the demon back into the abyss

Regelmatig komt dit nummer in mij op en dan moet ik zo aan m'n vader denken. Hij had altijd zo'n levenslust en plezier. Hij zong dit dan ook vaak bij de afwas of een ander moment. Zo vrolijk als dit nummer zo was hij ook. Brengt nu tranen bij me. Bedankt voor t plaatsen van dit nummer op YouTube.
Cheers
