Origineel
(Carly Simon)
Orpheus, it could have been
You could have held me again
You said your songs had all gone
And that the road back up was too long
But it ws there for us
It was there for us
I loved you all along
Orpheus
The part of me that died
Was ready to be reborn
And you called of the hounds
Of hell with your songs
Orpheus, Orpheus
I loved you all along, Orpheus
Orpheus, It could have been
You could have held me again
But you couldnę° wait
Somewhere along the road
You lost your faith
Out of despair and believing
I was gone
You gave up on my love
You gave up on us
But it was there for us
It was there for us
I loved you all along
Orpheus
Vertaling
(Carly Simon)
Orpheus, it could have been
Je had me weer vast kunnen houden.
You said your songs had all gone
And that the road back up was too long
But it ws there for us
Het was er voor ons
Ik heb altijd van je gehouden
Orpheus
Het deel van mij dat stierf
Was klaar om herboren te worden
En jij riep de honden
van de hel met je liederen
Orpheus, Orpheus
Ik heb altijd van je gehouden, Orpheus
Orpheus, het had zo kunnen zijn
You could have held me again
Maar je kon niet wachten.
Ergens op de weg…
Je verloor je geloof.
Uit wanhoop en geloof
dat ik weg was
Je gaf mijn liefde op
Je gaf ons op
Maar het was er voor ons
Het was er voor ons
Ik heb altijd van je gehouden
Orpheus
