Lyrics Calypso - Jan Smit

Zoals de meesten van jullie misschien wel weten
Ben ik een groot bewonderaar van John Denver
En op mijn laatste album ging mijn grote wens in vervulling en mocht ik postuum
Een duet met hem opnemen
En dit liedje heet Calypso

To sail on a dream on a crystal clear ocean
To ride on the crest of a wild raging storm
To work in the service of life and the living
In search of the answers to questions unknown
To be part of the movement and part of the growing
Part of beginning to understand

Aye, Calypso, the places you've been to
The things that you've shown us
The stories you tell
Aye, Calypso, I sing to your spirit
The men who have served you
So long and so well
Olole iiiii, ololo ululululu
Olole iiii, ololo uu

Like the dolphin who guides you
You bring us beside you
To light up the darkness and show us the way
For though we are strangers in your silent world
To live on the land, we must learn from the sea
To be true as the tide
And free as the wind-swell
Joyful and loving in letting it be

Aye, Calypso, the places you've been to
The things that you've shown us
The stories you tell
Aye, Calypso, I sing to your spirit
The men who have served you
So long and so well

Aye, Calypso, the places you've been to
The things that you've shown us
The stories you tell
Aye, Calypso, I sing to your spirit
The men who have served you
So long and so well
Olole iiiii, ololo ululululu
Olole iiii, ololo uu

Okee mensen, laat je horen!
Olole iiiii, ololo ululululu
Olole iiii, ololo uu
