🇬🇧This song has a special place in my heart, and I was touched by your performance Rolf. I am pretty sure The Boss would be happy with the way you sing it.
🇳🇱Dit nummer heeft een speciale betekenis voor mij, en jouw versie heeft me geraakt Rolf! Ik weet zeker dat The Boss er content mee is.
Dat zag je dus ook. Het was een Bruce Springsteen en Tim Akkerman waardig optreden. 't Was wat geweest als Rolf Born in the USA had gedaan...... wat zou dan je reactie geweest zijn?
@Tim Akkerman. Are you related in any way to Jan Akkerman of Focus fame?
Tim, Ik vond jou versie toch beter toen je die Bruce tour hebt gedaan. Je hebt meer een connectie met Springsteen. Ik begrijp wel je reactie hoor. Een Sprinsteen nummer goed live gedaan gaat er altijd wel in. 2023 Boss tour! Ben dr bij in landgraaf en muenchen.
Most singers tend to over sing this song. But Rolf man, you got it just right. Lovely sensitivity from start to finish.
That house band and singer are outstanding!
Rolf's videos from this show deserve more views. He's a great singer. Solo Otra Vez was amazing.
I may have to travel somewhere far away but I’m going to see Rolf perform live. What a talent he is.
The combination with the violin makes it a special song. Compliment for the violinplayer!
wow. geen woorden, gewoon geweldig, echt wow
Still can't believe the comment I seen from a different video from Beste Zangers that said besides Floor, they were all wannabe singers. This is some of the ABSOLUTE beste zangers that I've ever heard in my life
Klasse gedaan. Bruce Springsteen en Tim Akkerman waardig. Chapeau...
Lyrics: The River - Bruce Springsteen
come from down in the valley
Where mister when you're young
They bring you up to do like your daddy done
Me and Mary we met in high school
When she was just seventeen
We'd ride out of this valley down to where the fields were green
We'd go down to the river
And into the river we'd dive
Oh down to the river we'd ride
Then I got Mary pregnant
And man that was all she wrote
And for my nineteenth birthday I got a union card and a wedding coat
We went down to the courthouse
And the judge put it all to rest
No wedding day smiles no walk down the aisle
No flowers no wedding dress
That night we went down to the river
And into the river we'd dive
Oh down to the river we did ride, yeah yeah
I got a job working construction for the Johnstown Company
But lately there ain't been much work on account of the economy
Now all them things that seemed so important
Well Mister they vanished right into the air
Now I just act like I don't remember
Mary acts like she don't care
But I remember us riding in my brother's car
Her body tan and wet down at the reservoir
At night on them banks I'd lie awake
And pull her close just to feel each breath she'd take
Now those memories come back to haunt me
They haunt me like a curse
Is a dream a lie if it don't come true
Or is it something worse
That sends me down to the river
Though I know the river is dry
That sends me down to the river tonight, yeah
Down to the river
My baby and I
Oh down to the river we ride, oh
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh
This is my favorite performance of Rolf's! Fantastic!
Downnnnnnn to the River...........🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘 The Boss Rolf Sánchez . 🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸
Killer version.
Well done Rolf.
Godsamme, had ik nooit verwacht. Rolf Sanchez die Bruce Springsteen doet, maar dan wel op z'n eigen manier. Wat goed~
Mooie...
Godsdamn, man. This is the best season by far. I only just learned of the show. Grabbed some books and started learning the language just go enjoy it better.
Floor brought me to it... And, a Dutch fellow sent me on a song chase that took me through seizoen after seizoen... ( My phone is starting to auto-correct to Dutch... Hehehahaha)
So glad the this is a thing.
@Vinnie P i actually did. Shes a godssend. It's helping push the learning in a more fun direction, too. Thank you.
oh man..Rolfe...inspirato...
Geweldige zanger! Volgend jaar naar Songfestival.
What can I say. What a soul. What a voice!
Rolf, man o man, wat heb jij dit nummer prachtig gezongen. Je hebt een fantastische mooie stem en het is altijd een genot om je te horen en te zien zingen.
Rolf is a great belter with great vibrato. Been wanting to say that for weeks.
I like that he clearly stepped out of his comfort zone with this genre.
He's very very good. Great voice. Getting away with doing Springsteen and nailing it is really something.
Yeah! Rolf is making it in his own way and I really like his Style!
Thank you Rolf for softening Tim up for Floor.
Love from up-north
Prachtig gezongen Rolf. Je doet dit nummer eer aan, zelfsf aan "the Boss" zelf. Je bent een groot talent en hou van je stem ongeacht in welke taal je zingt.
ok wilde eerst door klikken maar uiteindelijk klonk het best goed. bravo
I recognize great talent
Rolf thumb up
A soon as he starts he takes full attention until the very last note: what an artist!
Wat was je weer geweldig Rolf,prachtig met die snik in je stem,ik hou dr zo van❤
Oh so good Rolf!!!!
@No One I know right?? The Voice is meh at best and the Masked Singer while a little interesting, is just so gimmick driven it gets old fast.
super
Ty Rolf, such a amazing interpretation of one hell of a powerful song.. we dont call Bruce the Boss for nothing, and you did the Boss justice.. shivers down my spine buddy, shivers for days.
Again another episode has flown by as only lasting 5 minutes, the power of this show, this season.. wow
We are so lucky to have this show, where people like Rolf, give us such beautiful music.
Each week i'm like, "well, i wonder if they can top last weeks show, because that was ridiculously good" and well.... every freakin week, they go over the top again, raising the bar even higher and delivering even better songs than before.
I would almost say this has left me speechless, almost, cause the above certainly are words ;)
Dang... i'm going to miss this show till the next season starts, and then i'll be all there for it again, but for now? i'm sad its nearly over.
Weet niet of het er aan ligt dat ik in het programma misschien meer op let, maar nu de tekst ook echt goed meegekregen, dus zal deze versie zeker vaker gaan draaien. Super
Okay... Wow
As a long time fan of Bruce Springsteen I must say I am impressed by this performance
I almost cried. This text hits so close.
I’m proud of you Rolf, great singing and performance. !!
Hey,Rolf
Dat is super super mooi gezongen weer een held uit mijn tijd,dit past jou ook goed hoor.
Mooie man met een mega mooie stem.

Prachtige versie...
Op z'n eigen manier.
The Boss
Very nicely done... bravo...
Feels like I do know all of you personally Beste Zangers 2019
By far his best interpretation tonight... Great job Rolph!
Thanks, Rolf. I was sceptical at first, but you pulled it off. 👍
Such a massive Boss fan. You did it Rolf, well done
Prachtig gezongen Rolf !
😍😍😍
Oh my...they are all so good, but this took deep to my heart❤🤩
Wowwww!!!! Shivers! I felt every word you sang. Man, you are really great. Thanks to this show I know who Rolf Sanchez is.
To me, he sounds really close to Mark Anthony. Great performance, Rolf. You are Great.
Beautiful.....just Beautiful. Will be going in my playlist for sure

Voorheen raakte hij mij nooit, omdat ik geen klap versta van al het Spaanse gebrabbel dat hij uitkraamt. Ditmaal komt hij echter zoveel beter over en trekt hij mijn aandacht. Blijf aub ook Engelstalig zingen, zodat je veel beter tot je recht komt bij het grote publiek!
I wonder, what floor is up to with this hairdo.
Would fit in the finale of Grease...
Bagger
Nice. Safe and predictable, but nice.
Staying true to the song and the artist. I don't think you'd want to make a song like this too complicated to show off. It just wouldn't fit.
He only ever sings in Spanish when doing his own stuff. Translating it to Spanish would would have been the safe and predictable thing for him.
the best part here is that he FEELS the song. and the way he feels it comes back on the people on the couch. This is 1 of those songs u put on repeat, close your eyes and after a while starts to manifest itself but everyone including Rolf himself see it happen in this moment.
