Dutch song Angela Groothuizen - Niets blijft
with lyrics, music, video and English translation songtext
All the songs you like to sing
All the mountain that you climb
All the letters that you write
All lost
All your effort to stay strong
All the stones you push away
And the love that is your force
Nothing remains, will stay
Hoeveel liedjes je ook zingt
Welke berg je ook bedwingt
Hoeveel brieven je ook schrijft
Niets blijft
Hoeveel ruggen je ook recht
Welke steen je ook verlegt
Hoeveel liefde je ook drijft
Niets blijft, niets blijft, niets blijft
Travel far and build a castle
Or a palace - doesn't matter
And see the light in new ideas
Blow along in every wind
Maak maar reizen, bouw kastelen
Of paleizen, kan het schelen
En zie het licht in elk idee
Waai met alle winden mee
Even if you miss no second
And you spill no minute, too
Even if you live undamaged
All the hours as you want
Even if you're tough and sturdy
It is harsh, but things will vanish
By no means you can reverse time
Nothing remains, will stay
Ook al mis je geen seconde
Ook al mors je geen minuut
Ook al leef je ongeschonden
Al je uren resoluut
Ook al ben je sterk en weerbaar
Het is hard en onverteerbaar
Maar de tijd is onomkeerbaar
Niets blijft, niets blijft, niets blijft
All the parties that you have
All the books that you will read
Which sort of illness you will get
All the dangers on your path
Hoeveel feesten je ook feest
Welke boeken je ook leest
En wat voor ziekte je ook krijgt
Welk gevaar je ook bedreigt
Nothing ever will endure
And how many dreams you dream
Nothing remains, will mmm
Er is niets wat echt beklijft
Hoeveel dromen je ook droomt
Niets blijft, niets blijft, niets mmm
Mmmmm
Mmmmm
It goes
Life streams on
Niets blijft
Alles stroomt

Ten years after the Dolly Dots broke up, they released a compilation album (The Collection, 1998). On this occasion, they performed in Paul de Leeuw's tv-show The Lion Late Night/Laat De Leeuw. Another ten years later, in 2007, they gave reunion concerts, including three concerts in Ahoy, Rotterdam.
The above song 'Niets blijft' (2010) she sang for her friend and former Dolly Dot Ria, who died of cancer in 2009. She donated all the profits to the charitable institution fighting cancer KWF Kankerbestrijding.
The remaining five former Dolly Dots announced they would never give reunion concerts again.
