  • michael peter smith tarafindan 1968 de yazilan, steve goodman in meshur ettigi sarki.

    smith sarkinin sozlerini yazdiginda henuz hollandayi ziyaret etmemisti. sarki amsterdamda yasayan iki yasli ciftin (margaret ve dutchman nick li amcamizin) aralarindaki kosulsuz sevgiyi anlatir.

    abd donusu layover suresini uzun tutup amsterdam sokaklarinda yari uykulu dolasmamda bu sarkinin motive edici etkisi de bulunmaktadir.

    celtic thunder yada john mcdermott un yorumunu sevsem de burada emegi buyuk olan goodman in yorumuyla baslamanizi oneririm.

    the dutchman

    the dutchman's not the kind of man
    who keeps his thumb jammed in the dam
    that holds his dreams in,
    but that's a secret that only margaret knows.

    when amsterdam is golden in the summer,
    margaret brings him breakfast,
    she believes him.
    he thinks the tulips bloom beneath the snow.

    he's mad as he can be, but margaret only sees that sometimes,
    sometimes she sees her unborn children in his eyes.

    let us go to the banks of the ocean
    where the walls rise above the zuider zee.
    long ago, ı used to be a young man
    and dear margaret remembers that for me.

    the dutchman still wears wooden shoes,
    his cap and coat are patched with the love
    that margaret sewed there.
    sometimes he thinks he's still in rotterdam.

    and he watches the tug-boats down canals
    an' calls out to them when he thinks he knows the captain.
    till margaret comes
    to take him home again

    through unforgiving streets that trip him, though she holds his arm,
    sometimes he thinks he's alone and he calls her name.

    let us go to the banks of the ocean
    where the walls rise above the zuider zee.
    long ago, ı used to be a young man
    and dear margaret remembers that for me.

    the winters whirl the windmills 'round
    she winds his muffler tighter
    and they sit in the kitchen.
    some tea with whiskey keeps away the dew.

    and he sees her for a moment, calls her name,
    she makes the bed up singing some old love song,
    a song margaret learned
    when it was very new.

    he hums a line or two, they sing together in the dark.
    the dutchman falls asleep and margaret blows the candle out.

    let us go to the banks of the ocean
    where the walls rise above the zuider zee.
    long ago, ı used to be a young man
    and dear margaret remembers that for me.

    set on a new york subway, the dutchman centers on an encounter between a well-to-do black man and an enchanting white woman who match wits in a sexualized game of cat and mouse that leads to a violent conclusion. the searing confrontation amplifies the dimensions of racial conflict in america in this adaptation of the stage show first presented at the cherry lane theatre in greenwich village, new york city, in march 1964, which was later adapted into a critically acclaimed 1966 film starring shirley knight and al freeman jr.
