Dutch song Benny Neyman - Waarom fluister ik je naam nog
with lyrics, music, video and English translation songtext
Forget you
How could I possibly forget you
The years went by, glided so quickly
And vanished in the time for good
Vergeten
Hoe zou ik jou kunnen vergeten
De jaren zijn voorbij gegleden
Voorgoed verdwenen in de tijd
And dreaming
I think I never will stop dreaming
The hopes I had, you took them from me
And now it's only history
Hmmmm
En dromen
Ik zal wel altijd blijven dromen
Je hebt me alle hoop ontnomen
Het is gewoon verleden tijd
Hmmmm
Why do I still whisper your name now
Do I hear your voice
I still can see your life-size presence
I can't forget the smallest thing
Maar waarom fluister ik jouw naam nog
Hoor ik steeds je stem
Ik zie je levensgroot hier staan nog
Omdat ik niets vergeten ben
Why can I still smell your fragrance
As if you're around
What happened in those days, I'm wondering
I wish that we had never met
Waarom ruik ik steeds jouw geur nog
Of je bij me bent
Wat is er toen met mij gebeurd toch
Ach, had ik jou maar nooit gekend
As usual
My daily life goes on as usual
But now and then I feel this longing
Longing for you just for a while
Mijn leven
Het gaat gewoon zijn gang, mijn leven
Maar soms verlang ik toch heel even
Verlang ik even weer naar jou
My courage
Yes, long ago I lost my courage
But in advance we could have known that
It wouldn't last our whole life long
Hmmmm
Verloren
Ik heb de moed allang verloren
We wisten beiden van tevoren
Dat dit niet eeuwig duren zou
Hmmmm
Why do I still whisper your name now
Do I hear your voice
I still can see your life-size presence
I can't forget the smallest thing
Maar waarom fluister ik jouw naam nog
Hoor ik steeds je stem
Ik zie je levensgroot hier staan nog
Omdat ik niets vergeten ben
Why can I still smell your fragrance
As if you're around
What happened in those days, I'm wondering
I wish that we had never met
Waarom ruik ik steeds jouw geur nog
Of je bij me bent
Wat is er toen met mij gebeurd toch
Ach, had ik jou maar nooit gekend
