I walk with you mama

Een deelnemer van de basisworkshop Verlaat Verdriet stuurde me de link door naar het lied van Anne Sofie von Otter: I walk with you mama. Een Verlaat Verdriet-lied, schreef hij daarbij. En hij heeft gelijk. Luister zelf! Ik geef de link graag aan je door.

I walk with you mama

Zang: Anne Sofie von Otter
Muziek: Benny Andersson
Tekst: Bjorn Ulvaeus

I walk with you mama
The path along the river
We feed the swans
We say hello to people that we meet

I talk with you mama
And I listen
And I hear you say
I’m sorry that I left you on your own this way

I walk with you mama
The park in autum colours
The sadness in the air
As oak and marples shed their leaves
I talk with you mama
And I listen
And I hear you say
I’m sorry that I left you on your own this way

Yes you should have stayed a bit longer
Given me some more of your time
Couldn’t even wait to say goodbey
How could you be in such a frightfull hurry
Leaving me with so many questions
Having so much more love to give
In a way I come to terms I know now
Although it seems everywhere that I go now

I walk with you mama
A road that knows a yourney
Retracing every footstep
Every Sunday in the park

I talk with you mama
And I listen
And I hear you say
I’m sorry that I left you on your own this way.
