Net als toen [English translation]

Don’t be so drowsy with that eternal paper

Don’t yawn from sleep or boredom

I’m your wife and I eat out of your hand

But I don’t eat from charity

Don’t look at me as if you think, “are you still alive?”

Am I still that woman

With whom you once – when was it again?

Wanted to have that little adventure at all costs?

Be nice once again, just like then

Ask me once again for a kiss

Bring me roses again, blush again

When you see me, just like then

Be nice and gallant once again

Find me beautiful and charming again

Then the world will be just like before

A fairyland

Yes, you’re getting fat and your hair is turning grey

But you still can flirt, believe me

Ah, sometimes you act like a child, so silly

Gruff and wanton by turn

Do you remember? Do you remember? Don’t say no now

Do you remember, that you said then?

The happiest couple, that’s the both of us

My love, dearest darling, never ends

Be nice once again, just like then

Ask me once again for a kiss

Bring me roses again, blush again

When you see me, just like then

Be nice and gallant once again

Find me beautiful and charming again

Then the world will be just like before

A fairyland
