Duet: Lopen op het water

Sita has recorded a duet with the popular Dutch singer Marco Borsato. This song was composed especially for the wedding of the Dutch Crown Prince Willem Alexander and his fiancée Máxima (becoming Princess). The Couple will marry the 2nd of February. Marco and Sita will be the first artists to perform on their wedding. The song is in Dutch, and there isn't a translation available.
The song is called Lopen op het water, which is Dutch for: Walking on water. It describes the feeling of being in love so much that it feels you are able to fly.

Happy
(Written by Tobias Gad and Jacqueline Nemorin)

There's a man sittin' down by the 405
Hittin' some kind of tune on his ravin' guitar
He seems stranded in a dessert of a million dreams
Just like life hasn't been exactly as nice as it seems

Hello! How are you?
Why are you looking so sad on a day like this?
Do you feel like talking?
Now you got me started
I wanna see a smile upon your clueless face
Yeaheah

You could be so happy
on this brand new beautiful day
You could be so happy
like kids gettin' ready to play
Come on and bring it on, on and on
Nothing that you do is wrong
Come along and don't drag it on
You could be so happy
On this brand new beautiful day

You say your girlfriend is pretty,
She`s waiting at home
Got a safe job
And you can call a little house and a chevy your own

It all seems perfect but ain't perfect just as boring as hell
You've been craving for this
And now you're stuck just like a snail in its shell
All that matters
is that you can be free to live your life the way
you sincerely feel it
Cause life's too short
You don't wanna be a prisoner of your own illusions
And I shout it out:

You could be so happy
yeah you got somebody to love
You could be so happy
ain`t that good enough?
Ain't no use to sit and drag it on,
thinking 'bout the mess you've done
nothing's wrong, just bring it on
You could be so happy
you got somebody to love.

Sita sings "nana" on the tune of the song

You could be so happy
on this brand new beautiful day
You could be so happy
like kids gettin' ready to play
Come on and bring it on, on and on
Nothing that you do is wrong
Come along and don't drag it on
You could be so happy
ain`t that good enough?
Ain't no use to sit and drag it on,
thinking 'bout the mess you've done
nothing's wrong, just bring it on
You could be so happy
you got somebody to love.
 

I see a man sittin' down by the 405
Got a smile on his face
thinkin': 'What a wonderful life'

Jerk

Since you've been gone I feel so much better,
Cause I saw how mean you could be.
I used to want some explanation,
Now all I want is my Patsy Cline CD.

How I've waited for today,
When I could finally say:

You jerk,
You jerk,
You are such a jerk.
There are other words,
But they just don't work.
Jerk.

Somtimes I wish I'd mailed you that letter,
That said the things I dare not say.
Instead I set the thing on fire,
I had to say this out load anyway.

I'm so glad I found the nerve,
To say what you deserve:

You jerk,
You jerk,
You are such a jerk.
There are other words,
But they just don't work.

They try be so cool,
Insult you like a fool.
Never take your call,
when you're nobody at all.
Until you're somebody
and then they want to be your friend,
How come jerks don't know they're jerks.
(I don't know.)

So next time someone makes you feel little,
Just sing this song inside your head,
And like a great big cartoon bubble,
These lovely words will dance above their head.

How I've waited for today,
When I could finally say:

You jerk,
You jerk,
You are such a jerk.
There are other words
But they just don't work.

You jerk,
You jerk,
You are such a jerk.
There are other words
But they just don't work.

You jerk,
You jerk,
You are such a jerk.
There are other words
But they just don't work.

You jerk,
You jerk,
You are such a jerk.
You jerk,
You jerk,
You are such a jerk.

Selfish
Impossible vain
You told me i was totally without shame
I thought to myself
This kind of luck is my middle name
Boy you need to know
Sometimes i think i'm out of my head
The bigger the words
The stranger i feel
So give me a chance to explain
And erase all bad things
 

Chorus:
You tell me i'm Selfish, Delirious
That's not what i am
I tell you i'm Speechless, Do do do do
You know who i am
I've got a little sparkle, Do do do do
Inside of me
And you tell me i'm Selfish, Delirious
 

In between days
I wanna paint you a rainbow
To cover all the gray
In between days
I wanna kiss and tell to end
This game we play
I wish you could read my mind
 

Chorus

Tell me do you cry
I cry all the time
Tears that are turning to ice
I cry
Sparkle come alive
Sparkle that melt I
 

I wish you could read my mind

Chorus

I Surrender
A cooling breeze
Runss trhough my hair makes me think of you
You're always there
All around me everywhere
 

It's in the air
Your every kiss like a summer's day
I think you know
You take my breath away and so
 

Chorus:
I surrender
to the power of your love
I fall back and let you take
to the place that i've been
deaming of
I surrender
When you look into my eyes
I give in and let you take me there
To a place where there's just you and I
 

It's in your eyes
It's in your touch every
word you speak
My wish comes true
Every second i'm with you
 

So easily
You stole my heart now it's yours to keep
I think you know
You take my breath away and so
 

Chorus
 

Holding on to something heaven sent
I don't never want this love to end
I don't never want this love to end
 

Holding on to something heaven sent I don't never want this love to end
I don't never want this love to end

The World Goes Round
Mrs. Johnson's in the kitchen
Cookin' up a tv dinner for the mister
And uptown there's a couple havin' suchi
Served up by their favorite waiter
While a homeless man with a handful of change
Drinks his dinner down on main
 

Chorus:
The world goes round spinning to the beat
Of different drums and different dreams
The more we live the more we learn
And that's what makes the planet turn
Yeah, the world goes round
 

Harvey's at the night own doin'doubles
With a dancer they call sugar
While the mrs. Sits and home and
Tries to tell herself
What she don't know won't hurt her
In a crowded chapel, miles away the ride is thrown
The vows are made
 

Chorus
 

Life is a kaleidoscope that changes everyday
Givin'us the colors for the pictures that we paint
We take our chances, make our choices
Shake the hand of fate and then we live it out
 

Repeat chorus

You Make Me Feel(Like Myself)
I can say what's on my mind
Cos i want to
I can stop and take my time
That's ok too
 

I know you can take it
So i don't ever have to fake it
 

Chorus:
You make me feel like myself
You do that like no one else
You make me see who i am
You do that like no one can
 

I can stay in bed all day
Yeah i know i could
I can dance the night away
Cos it feels so good
You don't have to please me
You make being me so easy
 

Chorus
 

I'm free to give it all to you
I'm free to love you like i do

You Make Me Feel (Like Myself)

Twisted
You got a nerve showing up here-
You turn around and call me crazy
Standing my ground - shedding no tears-
Hate to tell ya but I’m not your baby
Cant believe I waited this long
Your not the one who’s gonna save me
Your sweet lips wont do the job
This is it and I don’t mean maybe
 

Now that I found out what’s been going on
Is you not me whose really got it wrong
 

Chorus:
Twisted
You took my mind and
Twisted -You took my heart and
Twisted
How could I have missed the way you treated me
Things ain’t what they ought to be
Twisted -Took each thought and twisted
It’s your screw that’s loose- your neck’s in the noose
 

Better stand up don’t sit down
What I’m sayin’s gonna rock you senseless/
Heart what you been puttin’ around
Hate to tell you but I ain’t defenseless
You had your cake now spit it out
I’m takin’ back all that good love I gave
Don’t you try to talk it out
With every word you dig a deeper grave
 

Now that I found out what’s been going on
Is you not me whose really got it wrong
 

Chorus
 

Same it’s all the same-there something here that
Needs my attention
Change now that I’ve changed I’ll turn it upside
Down and find a new dimension
 

Chorus, repeat

Backseat
It’s not my intention at all
To push your back against the wall
But this voice inside me
Tells me something’s changed
Every kiss turns into lies
And the light falls from your eyes
When the neon and the glimmer starts to fade
Up ahead the streetlights turn from green to red
Don’t tell me it’s all in my head
 

Chorus:
Hey hey hey, na na na
That ain’t what you told me in your back eat
Hey hey hey, na na na
That ain’t what you said that made my knees weak
Hey hey hey, na na na
That ain’t what you told me
That ain’t what you told me in your backseat
 

Nor you talk to me in rhymes
If we’re trough don’t waste my time
Cause we’re crashing at the point of no return
 

Up ahead the streetlights turn from green to red
You’re twisting the sweet things you said
 

Chorus
 

Taxicabs and no regrets, tell me baby
How could you forget
The promises we made
Flashing lights and black corvettes
See the wreckage that you left oh oh
Fire burns to ashes
Baby how was I to know?

Strong Winds
I’ve been workin’ so hard and dreamin’ so long
Yeah I’ve been learnin’
All of the art of playin’ by heart
See I’m burnin’
Just out of school of breakin’ the rules
Yeah I’ve been hurtin’
Findin’ the key, the code to what’s me
No I’m certain
I feel what life’s about
Still I’m just finding out
 

Chorus:
Strong winds are turning deep inside
And I feel it, and I know it
Strong winds are blowin’ all around
And I ride, and I ride, and I ride
Strong winds are learnin’ me to fly
And to make it
Strong winds are movin’ me around
 

Never look down but always think twice
That’s what ma mama told me
Changes will come when the future is bright
Yeah you’ll see it comin’
Like the fool on the hill in need of the thrill
Pushin’ you slowly
Nobody else but you and yourself
Have to worry
 

You’ll find a time and place
Just when you stop the chase
 

Voices inside will let you know
When it’s time to just let go
Don’t be afraid of what you feel
Just be ashore of that it’s real
 

Chorus

Everything
I know there words won’t save you, but I can only try
I know you died a thousand times
I didn’t come to break you, or to watch you bleed
I didn’t come to twist the knife
 

I apologize...
Every day of my life I go out of my mind thinking
How I was wrong and you won’t be mine
 

Chorus:
Take another look could I change your mind?
Let me tell you I’d do anything to be your everything
Even though you’re hurt give it one more try
Let me tell you I’d do anything to be your everything
 

You say I left you nothing but a bitter taste
You say I locked you in a cage
Say I pushed you over, say I made you crawl
Across the line between love and hate
 

I apologize...
Every day of my life I go out of my mind thinking
How I was wrong and you won’t be mine
 

Chorus:
Take another look could I change your mind?
Let me tell you I’d do anything to be your everything
Even though you’re hurt give it one more try
Let me tell you I’d do anything to be your everything

Whenever
You don’t look happy much at all these days
I count the tears of a clown rolling down your face
I’m sad to say
Don’t you know that I could put that sweet smile
Back on your face
If you, if you’d let me try to
 

Time will show
I am the one who will stand by you in this life
I’ll be the only rock that you will need
 

Chorus:
And whenever your heart feels it needs a little love
Just pack it up and come over
And leave those clouds behind you now
And whenever your heart is sad don’t feel so bad
I’ll make you smile
Won’t you let me dry those tears
Babe won’t you stay awhile
 

I don’t understand why you’re where you are
You’re so beautiful but you’re still so far
Away from me
I don’t know why you can’t break free of each and
Every chain that keeps
You sad and lonely
 

Bridge

Lopen op het water

In één seconde,
komt zonlicht door de wolken heen.
Eén tel met jouw is mooier dan,
een eeuwigheid alleen.
Ik was bang om lief te hebben,
en mijn hart heeft stil gestaan.
Maar met jouw armen om mijn middel,
kan ik de wereld aan.

Tis waar...
Dansen op de sterren,
vier seizoenen in één nacht.
Dit is één seconde,
los zijn van de zwaartekracht.
Lopen op het water,
zonlicht zien voor dag en dauw.
Vliegen zonder vleugels,
allemaal door jou.

Jij onthult me jouw geheimen,
dat is alles wat ik horen wou.
Ze waren veilig bij me,
maar ik deel ze moeiteloos met jou.
Mijn gedachten en mijn dromen,
zijn alleen op jouw gericht.
Ik spring lachend in het diepe,
met mijn ogen dicht.

Tis waar...
Dansen op de sterren,
vier seizoenen in één nacht.
Dit is één seconde,
los zijn van de zwaartekracht.
Lopen op het water,
zonlicht zien voor dag en dauw.
Vliegen zonder vleugels,
allemaal door jou.

heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeejeeeeeeeeeeeejeeeeeeeee

Tis waar...
Dansen op de sterren,
vier seizoenen in één nacht.
Dit is één seconde,
los zijn van de zwaartekracht.
Lopen op het water,
zonlicht zien voor dag en dauw.
Vliegen zonder vleugels,
allemaal door jou.

Sita: Een tel met jouw is mooier,
Marco: Dansen op de sterren,
Sita:dan heel de eeuwigheid alleen
Marco: vier seizoenen in één nacht.
Sita: Dit is één seconde,
Marco: Dit is voor één seconde,
los zijn van de zwaartekracht.

Sita: Ik voel me veilig op het water
Marco: Lopen op het water,
Sita: Jouw armen om mijn middel
Marco: zonlicht zien voor dag en dauw.
Marco: Vliegen zonder vleugels,
allemaal door jou.
