Ik zou het zo weer overdoen [English translation]

You walked into my world

It had never been so beautiful

An endless start

One normally only reads in books

And although I knew deep down inside

That this wouldn't be for ever

I'd just start all over again.

Targetting heaven

I shot past the stars and the moon

Merely instinctively

But the gates appeared to be closed to me

And I knew I would fall

For although I'd flown so high

I'd start all over again.

You've gone and my heart is mine alone again

But it's wanting you

Yes, it's wanting you

Silence around me is deafening

But it carries back to way back when

and I'd just start . . .

All of a sudden it's done

The memory of it numbing me

It had been the most beautiful time for me

And although it was not te be

I wouldn't have missed it for the world

Although it's a heavy price I have to pay now,

I'd start all over again.

You've gone and my heart is mine alone again

But it's wanting you

Yes, it's wanting you

Silence around me is deafening

But it carries back to way back when

and I'd just start . . .

I'd rather be ignorant again

Dismiss not sleeping, not eating

No! I'd rather feel pain than love for you

I don't want to know about

Forgetting those moments.*

You've gone and my heart is mine alone again

But it's wanting you

Yes, it's wanting you

Silence around me is deafening

But it carries back to way back when

And I'd get lost once again

In that very first kiss.

Yes, I'd start all over again.
