Henry John Deutschendorf begon in 1969 een solocarrière. Zijn
grootste hit in Nederland was Calypso (1975), een (zelfgeschreven)
loflied op Jacques Cousteau en zijn onderzoeksschip. Hij kwam om bij
een vliegtuigongeluk in 1997. Toch scoorde Jan Smit nog in 2007 een
hit met Calypso als duet met John Denver.
To sail on a dream on a crystal clear ocean
To ride on the crest of a wild raging storm
To work in the service of life and the living
In search of the answers to questions unknown
To be part of the movement and part of the growing
Part of beginning to understand
Aye Calypso, the places you've been to
The things that you've shown us, the stories you tell
Aye Calypso, I sing to your spirit
The men who have served you so long and so well
Hadiejee hadijo hadiejee hodelo
Like the dolphin who guides you, you bring us beside you
To light up the darkness and show us the way
For though we are strangers in your silent world
To live on the land we must learn from the sea
To be true as the tide and free as the wind-swell
Joyful and loving in letting it be
Aye Calypso, the places you've been to
The things that you've shown us, the stories you tell
Aye Calypso, I sing to your spirit
The men who have served you so long and so well
Aye Calypso, the places you've been to
The things that you've shown us, the stories you tell
Aye Calypso, I sing to your spirit
The men who have served you so long and so well
Hadiejee hadijo hadiejee hodelo
Hadiejee hadijo hadiejee hodelo.
