Lexana waar bleef die zomer / where stayed the summer
For this Lexana video I decided to use a song from my own language: Dutch. I chose to do this because this song is one of the most beautiful musicalsongs I have heard. The lyrics are so beautiful written. It is sang by Pia Douwers. One of the biggest musicalstars in Holland. She also stood on Broadway, witch is pretty amazing for a musicalstar from Holland. Unfortunately this song hasn't been translated or sang in English and like most of my videos I try to fit the lyrics with the images. So I'm gonna translate the lyrics to English and tell the idea I had behind the video:Steeds bleef de leugen ons leven regeren.Still the lie continues to rule our life.Waarheid kwam te dichtbij.Truth came to close. Altijd die hoop dat jij eens terug zou keren.Always hope you will be back some day.Maar waar was jij, maar waar was jij?But where were you, but where were you?In this part of the video the relationship of Lex and Lana has broken but both are still suffering from it. Secretly wanting each other back.Waar bleef die zomer?Where stayed the summer?Waar is die man van toen?Where is that man from then?Waar bleef dat zonnig seizoen?Where stayed that shinning season?Jij was een dromer.You where a dreamer.De hemel ver miljoen.Heaven a million times.Jij liet mij naar de sterren zweven?You let me shine like the stars.Wij waren kinderlijk blij,We where childish happy,en ik weet nog toen jij zei kies mij,and I remember when you said choose me,jij bent mijn leven.you are my life.Die zin zit nog in mijn hoofd.That phrase is still in my head.Ik heb er steeds in geloofd.I always believed in it.En ik zou jouw alles geven.And I would give you everything.In this part Lex and Lana are looking back on what they once shared. Because in this part of the song the good times are compared to the summer I decided to colour the flashbacks a sort of yellow, kind of representing the summer.Toen kwam de winterse kou.Then the winter cold came.Zette de wereld in rouw.Turned the world into mourning.Alles grauw en zo leeg.Everything grey and so empty.De bloemen van ons geluk bevroren in 1 nacht stuk.The flowers from our happiness where frozen and broken in one night.Ik riep jouw maar jij zweeg.I called you but you didn't speak.This part is about how things ended. This part of the song compares the bad times with the winter so I decided to colour these flashbacks greyAl is die wond nooit geheeld,Although the wound has never health,heb het spel toen gespeeld,I have played the game,dat ik zonder jouw kon leven.I could life without you.Maar jij ging nooit uit mijn hoofd.But you never left my mind.In mijn hart nu verdoofd,In my hearth now sedated,staat voorgoed jouw naam geschreven.has been written your name forever.In this part lex and Lana look back on how Lana tried to move on with Clark. But they still could'nt forget each other so lana decides to break up with him. Weer zal de leugen ons leven verkrachten.Again the lie will rape our life.Jij staat er zwijgend bij.You are standing sillent.Ik bleef altijd hopen en bleef op je wachten.I always hoped and waited for you.Maar waar was jij?But where were you?This part continues where they left before Lex and Lana looked back on the life they shared together. Lana wants Lex back, but Lex is reluctantMaar waar was jij?But where were you?Waar bleef die tijd van weleer?Where is the time from back then.Keert die zomer ooit weer?Will that summer ever return again?Wanneer wordt de kou verdreven?When will the cold be driven back?Kijk niet terug maar vooruit. Don't look back but forward.Voel de zon op je huid.Feel the sun on your skin.En geef ons die kans weer.And give us that chance again.Wat wil jij, wat wil jij, wat wil jij?What do you want, what do you want, what do you want?In the last part of my video Lana tries one last time to win Lex back and like Lana he finally gives in and forgives her, just like she forgave him. I hope you liked it now that you know what the lyrics mean regarding it is sang in Dutch.
