One of us cannot be wrong in Dutch

[jarkko]

I would love to bring a Dutch translation I made (in the seventies) of ‘One of us cannot be wrong’ to your attention.
I recorded it myself, not to let it get lost: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=deeC69j0Pgk.

No need to tell you I’m an absolute fan of Leonard Cohen.
He is the only artist of whom I have litterally all records, books, etc. He is my man!

Dat is wonderschoon Karel. Dank voor het posten!

Leuk dat je zo enthousiast reageert. Ik heb geprobeerd in mijn vertaling Leonard Cohens tekst trouw te blijven. Had graag ook zijn timbre gehad... In het slot heb ik mij muzikaal wat vrijheid gepermitteerd. In de originele neusfluit klinkt liefdesverdriet door dat ik de sax heb laten verklanken.

Karel, thanks for this beautiful rendition of a superb song.

Dank u Karel
I often listen to songs which are in Dutch and love hearing this. It almost sounds like Ramses Shaffy to me.
Hope that is ok to say and maybe I am way off. My husband is Dutch and that is why I am privy to listening to some Dutch music.
Your version is lovely.

Thank you, Maarten and Leslie, for your laudatory comments. Makes me blush (and flush). For some time I didn't dare to post my rendition on this forum. Jarkko was so kind as to help me out.

So nice to hear this, Fanfan!
