Don't Break My Heart

Vaya Con Dios

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

Don’t 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

Don’t break my heart
Don’t break my heart
I’ve been strong and brave
Sometimes I 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

Don’t break my heart
Don’t break my heart
I’ve been strong and brave
Sometimes lost my faith
And so many times
Saw love come to an end

It’s not a question of pride
It’s not the tears that I’ve cried
It’s not a question of pride

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

It’s not a question of pride
It’s not the tears that I’ve cried
It’s not a question of pride


What's a Woman

Vaya Con Dios

Composição: D. Schoufs/D. Klein/J.M. Gielen

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 wihtout a woman?)
Don´t go by the rule?
What´s a woman when a man
(What´s a men 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 dark
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

  • Biography

    Dani Klein, the lead singer, and Willy Lambregt had previous success in the band Arbeid Adelt! and decided to form the band Vaya Con Dios together with contrabassist Dirk Schoufs, because they shared interests in gypsy music, jazz, and opera - genres that they felt were underappreciated inBrussels.

    Their first single, "Just a Friend of Mine", had a Latin feel and became a big hit in France, selling over 300,000 copies. Willy Lambregt left the group and was replaced by Jean-Michel Gielen.

    Even though Vaya Con Dios was successful in Latin countries, the band remained largely unknown in the Netherlands, partially due to being a Belgian band, but also because of their gypsy style. In the summer of 1990 they finally had their breakthrough in the Netherlands with "What's a Woman?" peaking at #1 for three weeks, making Vaya Con Dios the second Belgian artists to have a #1 hit in the Netherlands. (The first wasIvan Heylen in 1974.) [3] The song is about the difficulties of men and women who on one hand need each other, yet sometimes find it hard to understand one other.

    In 1991, Dani Klein and Dirk Schoufs decided to go their separate ways, and from then on the group consisted of Klein playing with various musicians. On May 24, 1991, Schoufs died of an AIDS-related illness. (He had contracted HIV through his heroin addiction.) [2] The third album,Time Flies, is much more melancholy than its predecessors.

    Even though the music and the composition of the band changed, Vaya Con Dios remained popular in much of Europe - especially France,Germany, and Scandinavia - until 1996, when Klein left the music business complaining of too much stress. She returned in 1999 as singer in the group Purple Prose, which released a debut album of the same name that year. Vaya Con Dios returned in 2004 with a new album titledThe Promise, released on an independent label. In 2006, there is The Ultimate Collection, a greatest hits album, with a DVD of the acoustic concert of Brussels, and some bonus items, such as an interview with Dani, some photos... Pauvre Diable was the first single.

    A new studio album is soon ready for summer'09 release
