Alyosha


Ik heb je op het nieuws gezien
In de Moskouse metro
Je fluisterde dwingend: Een kopeke
En de mensen lieten je maar zo
Je ogen waren groot en rond
Je had een kleine jongensmond
Je bontmuts kon ertegen
Ik heb je op het nieuws gezien
In een ijskoude metro
Je vluchtte door de menigte
Anders moest je mee naar het bureau
Je rende als een kleine rat
Dook onder in de grote stad
Maar 's nachts, het was nu toch te laat
Liep je weer ergens over straat
Alyosha, Alyosha, Alyosha, wat een leven
Ik heb je op het nieuws gezien
Je stond in een portiek
Je fluisterde dwingend: Een kopeke
En de mensen zeiden: Hier word je ziek, jongetje
't Is nacht, 't is koud, je bent vast moe
Ga nu maar naar je moeder toe
Die wacht vast op je, thuis
Ik heb je op het nieuws gezien
Ze hadden je eindelijk opgepakt
Ze gaven je eten en een deken
Je bontmuts was wat afgezakt
Ze zeiden: Je moeder komt je halen
Maar jij zei: Dat kan ze niet betalen
Dan brengen wij je d'r wel heen
Maar jij zei: Nee, ik ga alleen
Alyosha, Alyosha, Alyosha, wat een leven
En dat is het laatste wat ik van je heb gezien
Zou je het echt hebben gedaan
Wat is nou een kopeke
Zou je werkelijk zijn teruggegaan
Ik vond je met je negen jaar
Een koning van een bedelaar
Je moet de cameraman maar vergeven
Dat-ie je maar 1 roebel heeft gegeven
Alyosha, Alyosha, Alyosha, je moet overleven
Alyosha, jouw vlag is niet meer rood
Nu ben je een kleine jongen zonder bed en zonder brood
Misschien word jij straks een zanger
Over liefde en over dood
Misschien schrijf jij straks boeken
Over mensen in grote nood
Maar nu ben je een kleine jongen
Zonder bed en zonder brood-acapo

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
