Ramses Shaffy - Laat Me English translation lyrics

Your rating:

Don't mind me

Maybe I was born too late
Or in a different country with different light
I always feel somewhat lost
Although the mirror shows my face

I know the pubs, the cathedrals
From Amsterdam to Maastricht
Nevertheless I will get lost every day
That will keep everything well-balanced

Chorus
Don't mind me
Don't mind me
Just let me do what I do
Don't mind me
Don't mind me
I've always done this this way

I won't forget my friends
Who I love will be loved by me
And where they live is something I should know
But I lost their last letter

There will absolutely come a time I will meet them
Maybe today, maybe in a year
A would kiss and greet them
Everything will be alright 

Chorus

Luckily I haven't been anchored
Sometimes I live here, sometimes I live over there
I haven't fucked up my life
I don't own anything and won't disagree

I love the water and the earth
I love cheap and expensive
Never saved up a penny
I just live hour by hour

Chorus

There will be a time I would die
I can't change that
I would keep my songs wandering
Furthermore you can find it out yourself

Provisionally I will keep kissing you
Your black sheep, your dearest fan
I would love to stay and preferably any longer
And just let me be who I am 

Chorus

Chorus

Don't mind me
Don't mind me
Don't mind me
Don't mind me
Don't mind me
Don't mind me
I always did it this way
Don't mind me
Don't mind me
Don't mind me
Don't mind me
Don't mind me
Don't mind me
I always did it this way
Don't mind me

Laat Me

Ik ben misschien te laat geboren
Of in een land met ander licht
Ik voel me altijd wat verloren
Al toont de spiegel mijn gezicht
Ik ken de kroegen, kathedralen
Van Amsterdam tot aan Maastricht
Toch zal ik elke dag verdwalen
Dat houdt de zaak in evenwicht.

Refrein:
LAAT ME, LAAT ME, LAAT ME M'N EIGEN GANG MAAR GAAN
LAAT ME, LAAT ME, IK HEB HET ALTIJD ZO GEDAAN

Ik zal m'n vrienden niet vergeten
Want wie me lief is blijft me lief
En waar ze wonen moest ik weten
Maar ik verloor hun laatste brief
Ik zal ze heus nog wel ontmoeten
Misschien vandaag, misschien over een jaar
Ik zal ze kussen en begroeten
Het komt vanzelf weer voor elkaar.

Refrein

Ik ben gelukkig niet verankerd
Soms woon ik hier, soms leef ik daar
Ik heb m'n leven niet verkankerd
'k Heb geen bezit en geen bezwaar
Ik hou van water en van aarde
Ik hou van schamel en van duur
D'r is geen stuiver die ik spaarde
Ik leef gewoon van uur tot uur.

Refrein

Ik zal ook wel eens een keertje sterven
Daar kom ik echt niet onderuit
Ik laat m'n liedjes dan maar zwerven
En verder zoek je het maar uit.
Voorlopig blijf ik nog jouw zanger
Jouw zwarte schaap, jouw trouwe fan
Ik blijf nog lang en liefst nog langer
En laat me blijven wie ik ben.

Refrein (2x)

Just let me
Maybe I was born too late…
Or in a different country, with different light.
I always feel somewhat lost,
Although the mirror shows my face…
I know the pubs, the cathedrals
From Amsterdam, to Maastricht.
Nevertheless I will get lost every day…
That will keep it all in balance!

Chorus:

Let me
Let me
Just let me do go my own way,

Let me
Let me
I always have done it in this way.

I shall not forget my friends,
For whom is my dearest stays my dear.
I should know where they live,
but I lost their last letter…
There will come a time that I shall meet them,
Maybe today, maybe in a year!
A would kiss and greet them,
Everything will so fair!

Chorus

Luckily I haven't been anchored.
Sometimes I live here, sometimes I live there..
I haven't fucked up my life,
I don't own anything or have objections.
I love the water and the earth,
I love cheap and expensive,
never saved a penny,
Just lived by the hour.

Chorus

There will be a time I will die,
There is no way out of that.
I would keep my songs wandering around
and for the rest, do as you please…
For now I will stay your singer,
You black sheep or dearest fan,
I would love to stay longer and longer,
And just let me be who I am…

Chorus

Chorus

Don't mind me
Don't mind me
Don't mind me
Don't mind me
Don't mind me
Don't mind me
I always did it this way
Don't mind me
Don't mind me
Don't mind me
Don't mind me
Don't mind me
Don't mind me
I always did it this way
Don't mind me
