The Meeting

Track 5
Music by R. Molema
Lyrics by R. Molema
Inspired & Translated from 'Nooit Meer Slapen' the novel by Willem Frederik Hermans
It’s coming near
The moment I’ll meet him
I travelled  by hydro plane
I enter a boat to the coast of the fjord
And then again I thought
Arne was waving with his hat to me
 
But the man with the hat disappeared
Before I arrived, I don’t understand
Was I wrong the other day
I’m beginning to doubt
So  yesterday the man on the boat
With the hat, it must have been him
 
Solo
 
The boat is coming closer to the coast
The motor stops, and I step on the shore
There’s is nobody  here
waiting for me, so I’m here alone
Suddenly mosquito’s on my skin
Here by the shore where he should have been
 
But as sudden as the mosquito’s were there
a man hurries up to me
He’s looking at me but he doesn’t wave
But I know who he is
 
This man says hello to me
“Hello Arne” I said to him
I’m so glad that the meeting turns out to be fine
I say some thing with platitude
Actually I want to say that I’m glad to meet you!
 
Suddenly I realise
I’m living in a constant fear
In a society where everybody tries to make a fool of you
But even unintentionally
Arne could have had an accident
He could have fallen with his head on a stone, he could have died
He could have died, before I met him
Shivers down my spine
Mosquito’s all around me
Arne and I walk in a cloud of mosquito’s
Mosquito’s everywhere, everywhere I go 

Solo
 
Arne and I had a lot to talk about
While we were walking
There is something I remark
With a heavy load in his hands
We’re walking up a hill, 
He doesn’t even gasp for breath
He’s slight but strong enough
To carry my pack
