Kleermaker zingt De Reiziger - van Boudewijn de Groot

De Nederlandse tekst - The lyrics in English - a letra em português:
De Reiziger (muziek: Boudewijn de Groot; tekst: Lennaert Nijgh)
Geef de reiziger een stoel
Geef hem brood en droge kleren
Laat hem zitten bij de haard
Hij is overal geweest
Hij die alles heeft verloren
En nooit iets heeft bewaard
Haal flessen uit de kelder
En haal muziek in huis
Laat iedereen het horen:
De reiziger is thuis
Geef de reiziger het woord
Laat de reiziger vertellen
Maar hij schudt zijn hoofd en wacht
Hij heeft overal gezocht
Hij heeft nergens iets gevonden
En ook niets meegebracht
Hij zegt: ik ben veranderd
Ik ben hier niet meer thuis
Maar laat de kinderen komen
De kinderen van dit huis
Laat de kinderen komen
Laat de kinderen komen
Ik heb aan ze gedacht
Ze zullen mij niet kennen
En ze zullen mij niets vragen
Ze hebben niets verwacht
En niemand zal begrijpen
Wat ik doen kom in dit huis
Maar de kinderen zullen zeggen:
De reiziger is thuis
Geef de reiziger een stoel
Geef hem brood en droge kleren
Laat hem zitten bij de haard
Hij is overal geweest
Hij die alles heeft verloren
En nooit iets heeft bewaard
Haal flessen uit de kelder
En haal muziek in huis
En laat de kinderen komen
De kinderen van dit huis

The Traveller
Give the traveller a chair
Give him bread and dry clothes
Let him sit by the hearth
He has been everywhere
He who has lost everything
And never has kept anything
Get bottles from the cellar
And bring music into the house
Let everyone hear it:
The traveller is home
Give the traveller the word
Let the traveller tell
But he shakes his head and waits
He has searched everywhere
He hasn't found anything anywhere
Nor brought anything with him
He says: I have changed
I am no longer at home here
But let the children come
The children of this house
Let the children come
Let the children come
I have thought of them
They will not know me
And they will not ask me anything
They have not expected anything
And no one will understand
What I come to do in this house
But the children will say:
The traveller is home
Give the traveller a chair
Give him bread and dry clothes
Let him sit by the hearth
He has been everywhere
He who has lost everything
And never has kept anything
Get bottles from the cellar
And bring music into the house
And let the children come
The children of this house

O Viajante
Dá uma cadeira ao viajante
Dá-lhe pão e roupa seca
Deixa-o estar sentado junto à lareira
Ele esteve em todo o lado
Ele que perdeu tudo
E nunca guardou nada
Traz garrafas da adega
E traz a musica para dentro de casa
Deixa todos ouvir:
O viajante está em casa
Dá a palavra ao viajante
Deixa o viajante contar
Mas ele abana a cabeça e espera
Procurou por todo o lado
Não encontrou nada em lado nenhum
Nem trouxe nada com ele
Ele diz: mudei
Já não me sinto em casa aqui
Mas deixa vir as crianças
As crianças desta casa
Deixa vir as crianças
Deixa as crianças vir
Eu pensei nelas
Eles não me conhecerão
E não me perguntarão nada
Não esperavam nada
E ninguém entenderá
O que venho fazer a esta casa
Mas as crianças dirão:
O viajante está em casa
Dá uma cadeira ao viajante
Dá-lhe pão e roupa seca
Deixa-o estar sentado junto à lareira
Ele esteve em todo o lado
Ele que perdeu tudo
E nunca guardou nada
Traz garrafas da adega
E traz a música para dentro de casa
E deixa as crianças vir
As crianças desta casa
