Harry Jekkers "The man in the clouds"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2
|
|
|
|
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:18,880
|
|
|
|
To round off, I want to sing for you...
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3
|
|
|
|
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:22,880
|
|
|
|
...a fairy tale about happiness.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
4
|
|
|
|
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:29,880
|
|
|
|
What the man in the clouds was actually called.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
5
|
|
|
|
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:33,880
|
|
|
|
And where he came from, nobody knew.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
6
|
|
|
|
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:37,880
|
|
|
|
In the village, nobody really wanted to know.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
7
|
|
|
|
00:00:38,180 --> 00:00:39,880
|
|
|
|
The man in the clouds.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
8
|
|
|
|
00:00:40,180 --> 00:00:42,400
|
|
|
|
That's how he was known.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
9
|
|
|
|
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:46,880
|
|
|
|
And the man in the clouds, never came down.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
10
|
|
|
|
00:00:46,980 --> 00:00:50,880
|
|
|
|
Alone but, perfectly happy he was.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
11
|
|
|
|
00:00:51,480 --> 00:00:54,880
|
|
|
|
And that had a very special reason.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
12
|
|
|
|
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:59,880
|
|
|
|
On the wall of his house was hanging, a beautiful painting.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
13
|
|
|
|
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:04,880
|
|
|
|
And the man in the clouds, could look at it for hours.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
14
|
|
|
|
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:08,680
|
|
|
|
In beauty, his days passed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
15
|
|
|
|
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:12,580
|
|
|
|
More happiness, he couldn't reach.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
16
|
|
|
|
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,660
|
|
|
|
Than looking and looking.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
17
|
|
|
|
00:01:15,780 --> 00:01:18,480
|
|
|
|
At the beautiful painting.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
18
|
|
|
|
00:01:19,580 --> 00:01:22,590
|
|
|
|
And often you'd see people, walk up.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
19
|
|
|
|
00:01:22,933 --> 00:01:26,980
|
|
|
|
To the man in the clouds, with the beautiful painting.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
20
|
|
|
|
00:01:26,990 --> 00:01:30,890
|
|
|
|
The door of this house, was open for everyone.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
21
|
|
|
|
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:32,660
|
|
|
|
Come in!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
22
|
|
|
|
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,080
|
|
|
|
He always said hospitable
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
23
|
|
|
|
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:39,240
|
|
|
|
And everyone gave him, because that's what you did...
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
24
|
|
|
|
00:01:39,706 --> 00:01:43,906
|
|
|
|
...a bread or some wine, like some from of entrance fee.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
25
|
|
|
|
00:01:44,466 --> 00:01:48,040
|
|
|
|
Through the years, that had become the norm.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
26
|
|
|
|
00:01:48,133 --> 00:01:50,400
|
|
|
|
For the man in the clouds...
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
27
|
|
|
|
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:52,840
|
|
|
|
...you'd take something with you.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
28
|
|
|
|
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,840
|
|
|
|
And sitting on chair, next to the man in the clouds.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
29
|
|
|
|
00:01:58,773 --> 00:02:00,733
|
2023-02-20 17:34:47 +00:00
|
|
|
Everything suddenly become...
|
2023-02-20 16:50:42 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
30
|
|
|
|
00:02:01,013 --> 00:02:02,906
|
|
|
|
...clear as glass.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
31
|
|
|
|
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,120
|
|
|
|
And the beautiful painting...
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
32
|
|
|
|
00:02:05,176 --> 00:02:07,360
|
|
|
|
...made you forget...
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
33
|
|
|
|
00:02:07,394 --> 00:02:09,017
|
|
|
|
...how sad and ugly...
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
34
|
|
|
|
00:02:09,862 --> 00:02:12,617
|
|
|
|
...life could be, sometimes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
35
|
|
|
|
00:02:14,262 --> 00:02:15,394
|
|
|
|
It was a landscape.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
36
|
|
|
|
00:02:15,931 --> 00:02:18,960
|
|
|
|
So beautiful, so splendidly empty.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
37
|
|
|
|
00:02:18,990 --> 00:02:23,542
|
|
|
|
That's how it must have been, when the world began.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
38
|
|
|
|
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:27,700
|
|
|
|
You could see how everything gained a shape and colour.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
39
|
|
|
|
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,674
|
|
|
|
In the light of an endlessly...
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
40
|
|
|
|
00:02:31,257 --> 00:02:32,914
|
|
|
|
...rising sun.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
41
|
|
|
|
00:02:45,490 --> 00:02:49,314
|
|
|
|
One day, the man in the clouds had a visitor.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
42
|
|
|
|
00:02:49,542 --> 00:02:51,131
|
|
|
|
A stranger.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
43
|
|
|
|
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,725
|
|
|
|
Who shook his hand and said:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
44
|
|
|
|
00:02:54,068 --> 00:02:56,571
|
|
|
|
"It's said you own a canvas."
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
45
|
|
|
|
00:02:57,668 --> 00:03:00,937
|
|
|
|
"That is known down below as 'the beautiful painting'.."
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
46
|
|
|
|
00:03:02,502 --> 00:03:05,988
|
|
|
|
And the man in the clouds said: "Please, come in."
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
47
|
|
|
|
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:10,422
|
|
|
|
And the stranger stood in front of the landscape.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
48
|
|
|
|
00:03:11,074 --> 00:03:14,605
|
|
|
|
And subsequently got completely out of control.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
49
|
|
|
|
00:03:15,005 --> 00:03:16,662
|
|
|
|
"It's unbelievable!""
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
50
|
|
|
|
00:03:17,291 --> 00:03:20,434
|
|
|
|
"How did you get this?"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
51
|
|
|
|
00:03:20,468 --> 00:03:22,422
|
|
|
|
"This is a masterpiece."
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
52
|
|
|
|
00:03:22,457 --> 00:03:24,240
|
|
|
|
"Oh, and look at this."
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
53
|
|
|
|
00:03:24,297 --> 00:03:28,537
|
|
|
|
"Complete with frame and signature."
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
54
|
|
|
|
00:03:28,937 --> 00:03:32,960
|
|
|
|
"Sir, you're financially set, for the rest of your life."
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
55
|
|
|
|
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:39,920
|
|
|
|
"There's a massive fortune, hanging on the wall."
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
56
|
|
|
|
00:03:40,674 --> 00:03:43,920
|
|
|
|
And the man in the clouds, wanted to forget.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
57
|
|
|
|
00:03:44,022 --> 00:03:48,045
|
2023-02-20 17:34:47 +00:00
|
|
|
What the stranger had told him, that day.
|
2023-02-20 16:50:42 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
58
|
|
|
|
00:03:48,102 --> 00:03:52,160
|
|
|
|
But something had changed, just by knowing.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
59
|
|
|
|
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:56,457
|
|
|
|
That beauty, was expressible in money.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
60
|
|
|
|
00:03:56,857 --> 00:04:00,651
|
|
|
|
And to visitors, he said more often and often:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
61
|
|
|
|
00:04:00,670 --> 00:04:02,205
|
2023-02-20 17:34:47 +00:00
|
|
|
Hey, don't touch it!
|
2023-02-20 16:50:42 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
62
|
|
|
|
00:04:02,251 --> 00:04:04,914
|
|
|
|
Or, don't get too close.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
63
|
|
|
|
00:04:04,925 --> 00:04:09,051
|
|
|
|
Slowly but surely, he changed into a guard.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
64
|
|
|
|
00:04:09,051 --> 00:04:13,942
|
|
|
|
A careful man, with a beautiful painting.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
65
|
|
|
|
00:04:15,645 --> 00:04:19,680
|
|
|
|
And then the fear came, it came in his dreams,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
66
|
|
|
|
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:23,817
|
|
|
|
Thieves who screamed: "Come here with that canvas!"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
67
|
|
|
|
00:04:24,182 --> 00:04:28,125
|
|
|
|
And that's how the lock, got on his front door.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
68
|
|
|
|
00:04:28,171 --> 00:04:29,817
|
|
|
|
And, the man in the clouds...
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
69
|
|
|
|
00:04:29,874 --> 00:04:34,902
|
|
|
|
...got fewer and fewer visitors.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
70
|
|
|
|
00:04:34,925 --> 00:04:37,382
|
|
|
|
It was a landscape...
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
71
|
|
|
|
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,468
|
|
|
|
...so beautiful, so plenty empty.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
72
|
|
|
|
00:04:40,514 --> 00:04:44,845
|
|
|
|
That's how it must have been, when the world began.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
73
|
|
|
|
00:04:44,845 --> 00:04:48,914
|
|
|
|
You could see how everything gained a shape and colour.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
74
|
|
|
|
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:52,537
|
|
|
|
In the light of an endlessly...
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
75
|
|
|
|
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:54,171
|
|
|
|
...rising sun.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
76
|
|
|
|
00:04:57,211 --> 00:04:59,074
|
|
|
|
And the man in the clouds.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
77
|
|
|
|
00:04:59,130 --> 00:05:01,497
|
|
|
|
Found himself thinking some times....
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
78
|
|
|
|
00:05:01,497 --> 00:05:03,360
|
|
|
|
...back to the days...
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
79
|
|
|
|
00:05:03,405 --> 00:05:05,771
|
|
|
|
...when the beautiful painting...
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
80
|
|
|
|
00:05:05,782 --> 00:05:09,931
|
|
|
|
...could still give comfort and warmth to everyone.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
81
|
|
|
|
00:05:09,954 --> 00:05:12,148
|
|
|
|
But he wasn't allowed to think that.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
82
|
|
|
|
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,434
|
|
|
|
Those days were gone.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
83
|
|
|
|
00:05:14,502 --> 00:05:16,742
|
|
|
|
He had to protect it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
84
|
|
|
|
00:05:16,788 --> 00:05:19,165
|
|
|
|
With his life, if necessary.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
85
|
|
|
|
00:05:19,188 --> 00:05:22,651
|
|
|
|
He was obliged to do it for the beauty of the landscape.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
86
|
|
|
|
00:05:22,662 --> 00:05:27,451
|
|
|
|
The theft, he would never forgive himself.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
87
|
|
|
|
00:05:27,451 --> 00:05:31,714
|
|
|
|
So he closed everything that could be closed, more closed than closed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
88
|
|
|
|
00:05:31,748 --> 00:05:35,714
|
|
|
|
But still he awoke, no night passed...
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
89
|
|
|
|
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:37,965
|
|
|
|
...without hearing thieves...
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
90
|
|
|
|
00:05:37,988 --> 00:05:40,217
|
|
|
|
...they had found it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
91
|
|
|
|
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:41,565
|
|
|
|
Because they knew.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
92
|
|
|
|
00:05:41,588 --> 00:05:44,491
|
|
|
|
That he had it on his wall.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
93
|
|
|
|
00:05:44,514 --> 00:05:49,074
|
|
|
|
So, he locked the beautiful painting in a closed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
94
|
|
|
|
00:05:53,348 --> 00:05:57,120
|
|
|
|
But, the spot where the beautiful painting had hung.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
95
|
|
|
|
00:05:57,177 --> 00:05:59,554
|
2023-02-20 17:34:47 +00:00
|
|
|
Became emptier and emptier.
|
2023-02-20 16:50:42 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
96
|
|
|
|
00:05:59,565 --> 00:06:01,348
|
|
|
|
And at some point...
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
97
|
|
|
|
00:06:01,371 --> 00:06:05,737
|
|
|
|
..the man in the clouds became crazy with desire.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
98
|
|
|
|
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:09,942
|
|
|
|
And hung the landscape, back on the wall.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
99
|
|
|
|
00:06:09,942 --> 00:06:14,057
|
|
|
|
That night, he looked for hours and hours.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
100
|
|
|
|
00:06:14,068 --> 00:06:16,205
|
|
|
|
At the colours, the shapes...
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
101
|
|
|
|
00:06:16,217 --> 00:06:18,297
|
|
|
|
...and the rising sun.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
102
|
|
|
|
00:06:18,331 --> 00:06:20,514
|
|
|
|
But the shine was lost...
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
103
|
|
|
|
00:06:20,525 --> 00:06:22,674
|
|
|
|
...the beauty had left.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
104
|
|
|
|
00:06:22,697 --> 00:06:26,982
|
|
|
|
It was as if he couldn't look properly any more.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
105
|
|
|
|
00:06:27,051 --> 00:06:30,971
|
|
|
|
And suddenly he saw everything, clear as glass.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
106
|
|
|
|
00:06:30,990 --> 00:06:33,131
|
|
|
|
In that frame...
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
107
|
|
|
|
00:06:33,165 --> 00:06:35,120
|
|
|
|
...his fear hung on the wall.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
108
|
|
|
|
00:06:35,154 --> 00:06:37,805
|
|
|
|
That night, in the clouds...
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
109
|
|
|
|
00:06:37,851 --> 00:06:39,977
|
|
|
|
...he understood.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
110
|
|
|
|
00:06:39,977 --> 00:06:42,708
|
|
|
|
And he threw the beautiful painting...
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
111
|
|
|
|
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,714
|
|
|
|
...in the fire.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
112
|
|
|
|
00:06:47,702 --> 00:06:51,474
|
|
|
|
And the man in the clouds, saw the landscape discolour.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
113
|
|
|
|
00:06:51,942 --> 00:06:53,908
|
|
|
|
And the rising sun...
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
114
|
|
|
|
00:06:54,011 --> 00:06:55,805
|
|
|
|
...go up in flames.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
115
|
|
|
|
00:06:56,388 --> 00:06:57,817
|
|
|
|
Then he got up...
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
116
|
|
|
|
00:06:58,114 --> 00:07:00,182
|
|
|
|
...took the lock of his door...
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
117
|
|
|
|
00:07:00,217 --> 00:07:05,748
|
|
|
|
...and surprised, the man in the clouds, stood there.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
118
|
|
|
|
00:07:09,508 --> 00:07:11,188
|
|
|
|
He saw a landscape...
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
119
|
|
|
|
00:07:11,211 --> 00:07:14,057
|
|
|
|
...so beautiful, so plenty empty.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
120
|
|
|
|
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:17,794
|
|
|
|
That's how it must have been, when the world began.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
121
|
|
|
|
00:07:18,205 --> 00:07:22,662
|
|
|
|
You could see how everything gained a shape and colour.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
122
|
|
|
|
00:07:22,708 --> 00:07:25,325
|
|
|
|
In the light of an endlessly...
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
123
|
|
|
|
00:07:26,948 --> 00:07:30,308
|
|
|
|
...rising sun.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
124
|
|
|
|
00:07:35,060 --> 00:07:38,754
