Vier liedjes , opus 75

by Léon Orthel (1905 - 1985)

1. Het Einde  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: Dutch (Nederlands) 
Wat geeft het, of wij hier of elders sterven?
Leven is altijd: naar den dood toe gaan.
De haardgebondenen en die verzwerven
Vinden één graf aan 't eind van hun bestaan.

  • by Jakobus Cornelis Bloem (1887 - 1966), "Het Einde"

2. De nachtegalen
 (Sung text)

Language: Dutch (Nederlands) 
Ik heb van 't leven vrijwel niets verwacht,
't Geluk is nu eenmaal niet te achterhalen.
Wat geeft het? - In de koude voorjaarsnacht
Zingen de onsterfelijke nachtegalen.

3. Het eind van de dag
 (Sung text)

Language: Dutch (Nederlands) 
De dag is over en het hele leven
is welhaast over en zijn stervenspijn.
O nutteloosheid van elk verder streven,
want ieder kan ’t uiterste uur eens zijn

't Is tijd voor het strekken van het laatste wapen
Er valt niets meer te winnen of te ontvliën
Ik denk alleen nog maar, als ik ga slapen:
Weer een dag minder, dat ik je zal zien.

4. Rondeau  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: Dutch (Nederlands) 
Jannie zoende me, uit de stoel
Waar zij in zat opgesprongen.
Tijd, jij dief, die elk gevoel
Op den duur hebt weggedrongen -
Noem mij oud, versleten, kaal,
Geef voor alles me onvoldoende,
Maar vergeet niet, dat me eenmaal
Jannie zoende.
