Song nr. 3: Verdronken Vlinder is a cover version of Boudewijn de Groot. One of the best songs/lyrics ever:
Roughly translated it goes something like this:
Drowned Butterfly.
To die like this on the water with your wings made of paper,
floating about, after flying in the clouds you're floating here
with your colours that fade without searching without asking
finally lay down to rest forever and the flowers that you kissed
odours that you knew, everything you can forget now
on the water you lull back and forth
To die like this on the water with your wings made of paper.
As a butterfly that should be able to fly up into the blue sky
as a butterfly always free and on the run for life itself
I wish to die on the water, but that's a care for later
I want to fly now like a butterfly and lull on the leafs of the flowers
But I can't reach that high, so I fly only in my dreams
Always I'm on the run for life
As a butterfly that should be able to fly up into the blue sky
To live I thought you would have to be a butterfly
To fly far away from all life, all pain
But I'm no longer bothered by jealousy of a butterfly
When even butterflies have to die I'm not gonna waste my joy
I can live without flying
Why should i bother any longer
About a butterfly that drowned in may/me*
To live I really don't have to be a butterfly anymore.
* Note: May
*Rhun is pronounced the same way in dutch. The original states 'May', but the reference to 'Me' is clear.You can hear the ending lines of the original song at the end of the cover-version.
