Ben Cramer - De Clown English translation lyrics

Your rating:

The clown

He was just a clown in white and in red
He was just a clown, but now he is dead
He laughed and jumped in the bright yellow light
But under that smile was a sad face

The memory remains about the clown with his smile
He gave everything until the last day
No one knew the pain of his silent sorrow
Because in the end there was no one he left

He lived alone, in a caravan from wood
He was just a clown, his whole life
His hat was too small and his shoes were too big
He was just a clown, but now he is dead

The memory remains about the clown with his smile
He gave everything until the last day
No one knew the pain of his silent sorrow
Because in the end there was no one he left

He fell on a evening, just like every time
The audience laughed loud, but for him it was over
He was just a clown, in white and in red
He was just a clown, but now he is dead

The memory remains about the clown with his smile
He gave everything until the last day
No one knew the pain of his silent sorrow
Because in the end there was no one he left

The memory remains about the clown with his smile
He gave everything until the last day
No one knew the pain of his silent sorrow
Because in the end there was no one he left

De Clown

Refrein:
Hij was maar een clown
In 't wit en in 't rood
Hij was maar een clown
Maar nu is hij dood.

Hij lachte en sprong
In 't fel gele licht
Maar onder die lach
Zat een droevig gezicht.

Refrein 2:
De herinnering blijft
Aan die clown met z'n lach
Hij heeft alles gegeven
Tot de laatste dag.

Refrein 3:
Niemand kende de pijn
Van z'n stille verdriet
Want er was op het einde
Niemand die hij verliet.

Hij woonde alleen
In een wagen van hout
Hij was maar een clown
En zo werd hij oud.

Z'n hoed was te klein
En z'n schoenen te groot
Hij was maar een clown
Maar nu is hij dood.

Op een avond, hij viel
Net als elke keer
Het publiek lachte luid
Maar voor hem was het uit.

Refrein.

Refrein 2.
