Alsof je vliegt [English translation]

She was so breakable, was so fragile

When you got to know her

Like a leaf of a rose, so soft

She was a bit shaky, and sometimes a bit angry

But you could handle it

That's what I thought

The time passed and it seems like that

It went better with her bit by bit

Slowly she found the power

Your love turned out to be the right colour

And then happened

What I'd never expected

From the ground

You helped her building

Till he could do everything herself

Until she stood

Till she her legs and wings

found

Well, I hope she enjoys

All the beauty she sees now

And that the wind will carry her wings forever

Because you grant her luck

Despite your tears of sorrow

But I hope that she arms her for the fall

Because you know, my love

She seems much stronger than you now

But appearances are deceiving

She doesn't see it

Because if you fall, sometimes it is like you are flying

It feels like you are flying

He was so caring and charming

When you got to know him

Such a remedy for the pain

You kept going, broken heart

But he was unstoppable

To nice to be true

From the start

A sea of flowers he has there at your pedestal

But when he got you

Just as fast as he came, he went

Well, I hope he enjoys

All the beauty he sees now

And that he then find his luck there

Because you don't want to weigh him down

Despite your tears of sorrow

But I hope that he arms him for the fall

Because you know, my love

He seems much higher than you now

But appearances are deceiving

She doesn't see it

Because if you fall, sometimes it is like you are flying

It feels like you are flying

So don't think, my love, that you are the weakest

It's not that difficult to leave

Because when the storm rises

And everybody starts running the strongest trees will keep standing

And a head in the clouds yet doesn't say that someone can fly

Again and again the shortest route

Makes you faster

But does it make you wiser

I'm so proud of you

When I see how strong you are

And you become stronger
