Vaya Con Dios

Vaya Con Dios je belgijska muzička grupa koju su 1986. osnovali Dani Klejn, Dirk Šufs i Vili Lambregt (kasnije ga je zamenio Žan-Mišel Gilen). U prevodu sa španskog ime grupe znači "Idi s Bogom" ili "Bog neka je s tobom".

Grupa je imala uspeha na međunarodnoj sceni sa pesmama ‚‚Just a Friend of Mine" (hit u Francuskoj), ‚‚What's a Woman?" (hit broj 1 u Holandiji, 1990. godine), ‚‚Nah Neh Nah", ‚‚Don't Cry for Louie", ‚‚Puerto Rico", ‚‚Heading for a Fall", ‚‚Johnny" i ‚‚Don't Break My Heart".

Grupa je prodala preko 7 miliona albuma i više od 3 miliona singlova.

Dani Klejn, glavni vokal, i Vili Lambregt ranije su nastupali u bendu ‚‚Arbeid Adelt!", a onda su odlučili da osnuju bend ‚‚Vaya Con Dios" zajedno sa kontrabasistom Dirkom Šufsom, jer su se svo troje interesovali za cigansku muzicu, džez i operu – žanrove koji nisu bili uobičajni u Briselu.

Njihov prvi singl, ‚‚Just a Friend of Mine", imao je latinske zvuke i postao je veliki hit u Francuskoj, gde je prodat u više od 300.000 primeraka. Nakon toga Vili Lambregt napušta grupu, a zamenjuje ga Žan-Mišel Gilen. Prvi album su producirali Dani i Šufs, a kritike na njega bile su podeljene. Bez obzira na to, bio je dobro prihvaćen u nekoliko evropskih zemalja.

Iako je Vaya Con Dios imao uspeha u mnogim latinoameričkim zemljama, u Holandiji je bio skoro nepoznat, delom zato što je bio belgijski bend, ali i zbog svog ciganskog stila. U leto 1990. oni konačno stiču popularnost u Holandiji sa singlom ‚‚What's a Woman?", koji je bio broj 1 cele tri sedmice i tako učinio članove Vaya Con Dios drugim belgijskim muzičarim, koji su imali hit broj 1 u Holandiji (prvi je bio Ivan Hejlen 1974). Iste godine izašao je i drugi album, ‚‚Night Owls".

Tokom 1991. godine, Dani Klejn i Dirk Šufs odlučuju da se razdvoje, a nakon razlaza, Klejn počinje da svira sa poznatim muzičarima. 24. maja 1991. godine, Šufs umire od AIDS-a (bio je HIV pozitivan, zbog zavisnoti od heroina). Klejn počinje da sarađuje sa Gilenom i drugim muzičarima i radi na novom albumu bez obzira na rastuću popularnost i internacionalne nastupe. Njihov treći album, ‚‚Time Flies", koji je 1992. objavila i producirala uglavnom sama Dani, melanholičniji je prethodnih albuma. Najuspešnija pesma sa ovog albuma bila je ‚‚Heading For a Fall", koja je dobro primljena u nekoliko zemalja.

Grupa je na prvu turneju krenula 1993. godine.

Klejn, koja je već bila vidno preopterećena poslom, objavila je 1995. četvrti album, ‚‚Roots and Wings", koji je još više otišao u pravcu soula. Pored toga, ovde su se mogli osetiti i uticaji arapske i indijske muzike.

Iako se vremenom u bendu vrsta muzike i kompozicija menjala, Vaya Con Dios je stekao popularnost u većem delu Evrope – naročito u Francuskoj, Nemačkoj i Skandinaviji, sve do 1996, kada Klejn napušta posao u sferi muzike zbog previše stresa i zamora, što je rezultiralo i opadanjem kose.

Ona se vraća u muzičke vode 1999. kao pevačica u grupi ‚‚Purple Prose", koja je, iste godine, izdala istoimeni debitantski album. Vaya Con Dios se vraća 2004. godine sa novim albumom, ‚‚The Promise", koji nije izdala nijedna izdavačka kuća. Tokom 2006. grupa izdaje album ‚‚The Ultimate Collection", kompilaciju najvećih hitova, sa DVD-om koncerta u Briselu i sa još nekim dodacima, kao što je interviju sa Dani, neke neobjavljene slike i izjave o prvom nepoznatom singlu ‚‚Pauvre Diable".

U oktobru 2009. objavljen je album ‚‚Comme On Est Venu", po prvi put sa svim pesmama na francuskom.

Dani je 2013. godine krenula na poseldnju Vaya Con Dios turneju. Poslednji koncert održan je 25. oktobra 2014. u areni ‚‚Forest National" u Briselu.

I Don't Want To Know

You've seen him on the street today
Heading for some sleaze cafe
He wasn't alone
He wasn't alone

Some beauty hung onto his arm
I shouldn't need to be alarmed
Now, he's done it before
Yes, he's done it before
Where and how, I don't want to know

You think she's one of his old flames
Some fiery-looking kind of dame
You found her dull but just the same
She stole the show
I don't want to know

Isn't it a crying shame?
You wouldn't mention any names
Afraid I couldn't stand the pain
Or take a blow
Well, I don't want to know

You've seen him on the downtown side
Drinking hard and acting wild
He was not alone
Not on his own

You say he looked a sorry sight
You know he's had another fight
Well, he's done it before
Yes, he's done it before
Where and how, I don't want to know

A smile breaks on your poker face
Tells me, you're gonna throw the ace of spades
And drop it, and watch me fall on evil days
And let me go
No, I don't want to know

Why don't I try to understand
He's just as weak as any other man
He'll come back to me in the end
Now isn't that so?
Oh, I don't want to know

Don't Break My Heart

Sometimes I feel so empty
So deserted and so lonely
And no one can take that pain away

Dont break my heart

The anger and the fury
And the fears living inside me
Should you love me
Would you love them just the same?

Dont break my heart
Dont break my heart
Ive been strong and brave
Sometimes lost my faith
And too many times
Threw caution to the wind

So if you tried to understand me
Would you crucify or damn me?
Or stand by me
Like smoke around the flame?

Dont break my heart
Dont break my heart
Ive been strong and brave
Sometimes lost my faith
And so many times
Saw love come to an end

Its not a question of pride
Its not the tears that Ive cried
Its not a question of pride

Don't break my heart
Dont break my heart
Ive been strong and brave
Sometimes lost my faith
And so many times
Saw love come to an end

Its not a question of pride
Its not the tears that Ive cried
Its not a question of pride

Vaya con dios - What's a woman

What's a woman when a man
Don't stand by her side?
What's a woman when a man
Has secrets to hide?
She'll be weak
She'll be strong
Struggle hard
For so long
What's a woman when a man
(What's a man without a woman?)
Don't go by the rule?
What's a woman when a man
(What's a man without a woman?)
Makes her feel like a fool?
When right
Turns to wrong
She will try
To hold on to the ghosts of the past
When love was to last
Dreams from the past
Faded so fast
All alone
In the daek
She will swear
He'll never mislead her again

All those dreams from the past
Faded so fast
Ghosts of the past
When love was to last
All alone
In the dark She will swear cross her heart
Never again
Cross my heart
Never again
(What's a man without a woman?)
Cross my heart
What's a woman when a man
Never again
(What's a man without a woman?)
Cross my heart
What's a woman when a man
Never again
(What's a man without a woman?)
Cross my heart
What's a woman when a man
Never again
(What's a man without a woman?)
Cross my heart
What's a woman when a man
Never again
(What's a man without a woman?)
Cross my heart
What's a woman when a man
Never again
