Ramses Shaffy
Ramses Shaffy - Laat Me English translation lyrics
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) LAAT ME, LAAT ME, LAAT ME…

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
