Le Bateau 03:33
Entre la terre et l'eau Il y a le bateau La terre est ronde L'eau est profonde Entre l'air et l'eau Il y a le bateau L'air est vide L'eau est limpide Et le bateau... Quand il prend l'eau Quand il prend l'air Quand il prend la terre... Le bateau balance Le bateau se balance Tu verras comme il danse Comme il mène la danse Il mène la balance Par des longues rivières Par des bas canaux Quand les eaux entrent la mer Qu'est-ce qu'ils ont sur leur dos? C est le bateau Quand il prend l'eau Quand il prend l'air Quand il prend la terre Le bateau balance Le bateau se balance Tu verras comme il danse Comme il mène la danse Il mène la balance Elvis Peeters

Ik heb bijna een boot gebouwd Hij ligt al op het water Aan de oever vastgetouwd Want varen doe ik later Ik aarzel nog Ik overweeg Roeispaan, schroef of zeil Ik voel mij sterk De wind staat goed Ik meet het waterpeil Ik heb bijna een boot gebouwd Straks vaar ik hier vandaan Mijn vleugels heb ik dichtgevouwd Maar hoe drijf ik hem aan? Ik aarzel nog Ik overweeg Roeispaan, schroef of zeil Ik voel me sterk De wind staat goed Ik meet het waterpeil Ik heb bijna een boot gebouwd Hij wiegt al op een golfslag Ik heb hem alles toevertrouwd Ik wacht alleen nog op de dag Ik twijfel zacht Ik overweeg Roeispaan, schroef of zeil Ik ken mijn kracht Ik voel de wind Maar de maan schijnt veel te droef Elvis Peeters

Don't know about fishing Don't know about swimming Don't know about life on the shore Don't know about sailing Don't know about wailing Don't know about anything more But I ask the stars I ask the sun When to embark Wich way to run And I go low on the water And I go low on the land And I go low from the bottom High to the end Don't know about rowing Don't know about knowing Don't know about life on the way Don't know about leaving Don't know about agrieving Don't know about nothing to say But I chase the stars I touch the sun I am the bullet not the gun And I go low on the water And I go low on the land And I go low from the bottom High to the end Elvis Peeters

Aiuf der schönen blauen Donau Auf dem dunklen schwarzen Rhein Auf der silberen Garonne Ich möchte aufs Wasser sein Wenn in die Ferne gehen Die träumende Hügel Entfalte ich die Segel Wie mächtige Flügel Et je pars, ich gehe, I go Unter sieben Himmel I row Längs sieben Ufer I flow Et je pars, ich gehe, I go Quiero cabalgar la mar Mirame, yo soy capitan Despertar es ganar Esas mis almas que cantan Et je pars, ich gehe, I go Unter sieben Himmel I row Längs sieben Ufer I flow Et je pars, ich gehe, I go Elvis Peeters

Rio Grand 02:32
O say was you ever in Rio Grande? A-weigh, you Rio! It's there that the river brings down golden sand For we're bound for the Rio Grande [Chorus] And away, boys, away A-weigh, you Rio! It's fare-you-well my bonny young girls And we're bound for the Rio Grande It's fare well to you all the girls of the town A-weigh, you Rio! You got our half-pay for to keep you around And we're bound for the Rio Grande! [Chorus] She's a deep water ship and a deep water crew A-weigh, you Rio! You can keep to the coast but we're damned if we do And we're bound for the Rio Grande! [Chorus] We was sick of the beach when our money was gone A-weigh, you Rio! And sign in this packet to drive her along And we're bound for the Rio Grande! traditional

about

Pedalurgie was a musical theater production made by the Alibicollectief (Brussels, Belgium) in 2005. This production was played on a self made "boat" driven by hometrainers with a main role for Little Jimmy, a Belgian blues legend. These revisited tracks are my tribute to Little Jimmy (1944-2020). Fare Thee Well, Jimmy!
