De Dolfijnen
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Als de dolfijnen aan 't minnekozen zijn
Dan doen ze beslist geen water bij de wijn
De ene doet alles naar de ander z'n wens
Kijk, dat is weer eens iets anders, mens
Ze laten zich zorgeloos gade slaan
Want er zijn geen gordijnen in de oceaan
Soms met z'n tweeen, soms meer dan drie
Nergens een spoor van mensen jaloezie
Elk krijgt het zijne, jij eerst en dan ik
Ieder z'n eigen volmaakt ogenblik
De zon scheen in 't water, in 't begin
En nu strooit de nacht er z'n sterren in
Langzaam, heel langzaam, zwemt men uiteen
Afspraken maken, dat doet er niet een
Minnekozen, minnekozen, de vrijheid is goed
En 't water zout, maar de liefde is zoet
Maar, wij zijn mensen, nietwaar Marjolein?
En wij doen liever elkander pijn
