Eurovision 1987 Netherlands:
Marcha - "Rechtop in de wind"
Rechtop in de wind
Toen de deur dichtviel
Trok een siddering hier door het huis
En de trilling ging tot heel diep in m'n hart
Oh, ik ging knock out, heb mezelf bijna uitgeteld
En de waarde van gelukkig zijn werd bijgesteld
En de klok tikte steeds het woordje 'over'
Maar rechtop in de wind
Zal ik blijven staan
Ik ga wel door
Geloof me nou
Al is het niet met dan zonder jou
Rechtop in de wind
Al is het een orkaan
Als jij geen vaste grond meer vindt dan
Sta ik nog rechtop in de wind
(Rechtop in de wind)
Toen de deur dichtviel
Zei ik mezelf: "Kijk niet meer om"
Haal de brug op, maak een vesting van je hart
En hou je tranen in, bewaar die voor de nacht
Als je in het wilde duister toch nog hoopt en wacht
Maar dat gaat voorbij, eens gaat dat ook over
Maar rechtop in de wind
Zal ik blijven staan
Ik ga wel door
Geloof me nou
Al is het niet met dan zonder jou
Rechtop in de wind
Al is het een orkaan
Als jij geen vaste grond meer vindt dan
Sta ik nog rechtop in de wind
Als jij geen vaѕte grond meer vindt dan
Stа ik nog rechtop in de wind
(Rechtop in de wind)
Rechtop in de wind
(Rechtop in de wind)
Rechtop in de wind
Upright in the wind
When the door fell shut
A shivering went here through the house
And the trembling went very deeply into my heart
Oh, it knocked me out, I almost counted myself out
And the value of being happy was adjusted
And the clock always ticked the word 'over'
But upright in the wind
I'll remain standing
I'll go on
Just believe me
Whether it's with or without you
Upright in the wind
Even if it's a hurricane
If you can no longer find any solid ground
I'll still stand upright in the wind
(Upright in the wind)
When the door fell shut
I told myself: "Don't look back no more"
Raise the bridge, make a fortress of your heart
And restrain your tears, save them for the night
When you're still hoping and waiting in the wild darkness
But that'll pass over, once that'll go over too
But upright in the wind
I'll remain standing
I'll go on
Just believe me
Whether it's with or without you
Upright in the wind
Even if it's a hurricane
If you can no longer find any solid ground
I'll still stand upright in the wind
If you can no longer find any solid ground
I'll still ѕtаnd upright in the wind
(Upright in the wind)
Upright in the wind
(Upright in the wind)
Upright in the wind
Lost in Gale Force 10
When you slammed the door, the trembling shook the house
And I felt the shutter deep down in my heart
Oh… it knocked me out to know that I've been blind
'Cause losing you never ever crossed my mind
And the clock ticked the word 'over'
I'm lost in gale force ten, but I'm still standing tall
It could not break me, I just vowed
I will survive anyhow
Lost in gale force ten, but you won't see me fall
And I'll find shelter in the end
When you are still lost in gale force ten
(Lost in gale force ten)
Once the door was closed, I told myself: don't look back
Drop the bridge, make a fortress of your heart
Keep your tears inside and save them for the night
When you'll wait and hope in darkness till the morning light
But that won't take long once the pain is over
I'm lost in gale force ten, but I'm still standing tall
It could not break me, I just vowed
I will survive anyhow
Lost in gale force ten, but you won't see me fall
And I'll find shelter in the end
When you are still lost in gale force ten
(Lost in gale force ten)
Oh… and I'll find shelter in the end
When you are still lost in gale force ten
(Lost in gale force ten)
Lost in gale force ten
(Lost in gale force ten)
Loѕt in gаle force ten
