about

"Who Will Tell Us" is a new/old song. In this very different version, than the one from 2016, the wonderful Nora Becker sings. With a delicate voice and yet very haunting. She gives the music its Soul and the text its deep meaning.

The Ensemble Du Verre has been around for 20 years now. Time to once again give space to a formative song.

lyrics

Who Will Tell Us

1.
See, the ferryman is gone
And nobody knows why
We are sad, we have no ferryman How can we go to the other side

2.
See, the ferryman is dead
Ask the ocean for a reason why
Ask the waves for their state of mind Deeper grows the deep sea now

Chorus:
Who will tell us
́bout the distant shores what they ́re doing ev ́ry day
Who will tell us
Where the waves touch other land lanes tenderly
Who will tell us
Where you wait for me
on a shore where I can never land

3.
Now the ferryman is dead
And the dead man wonder why Why shall a ferryman be
Six feet under the shore

4.
He should've stayed below The surface of the water Because no other knows How to console the open sea

Chorus:
Who will tell us
́bout the distant shores what they ́re doing ev ́ry day
Who will tell us
Where the waves touch other land lanes tenderly
Who will tell us
Where you wait for me
on a shore where I can never land
