Nacht [English translation]

[Chorus: Kraantje Pappie]

It's a night

One normally sees only in movies

It's a night

Sung about in the nicest song

It's a night

I thought I'd never experience

But tonight I am experiencing it

With you, oh

[Verse 1: Kraantje Pappie]

Um

A bottle of Châteauneuf-du-Pape1 is lying on the ground

The radio is playing softly, around midnight

I hear Suus and Freek, a blue day2

And look at you sleeping, holding you tight

Because I know it won’t take long before you leave

I get it that you won’t let me get too close

And that you make yourself free again, and are on time

You doubt if I really mean what I said

And whether I'm still the real one

And whether I don't run to 0503 and don't know you anymore, like a bad guy

But tonight that’s not the case

Before now, it has never been this beautiful

You and me, the world can wait

And all of a sudden, for the first time I’m complete

[Pre-Chorus: Guus Meeuwis]

If it were possible, I'd be with you still

And if you need to get used to it, I understand that baby, you take your time

We live for this, plus cash and baguettes

And this night has everything I was looking for at this place

[Chorus: Kraantje Pappie & Guus Meeuwis]

It's a night

One normally sees only in movies

It's a night

Sung about in the nicest song

It's a night

I thought I'd never experience

But tonight I am experiencing it

With you, oh

[Verse 2: Kraantje Pappie]

Um

Hey babe, I'd give my little toe for one more night

Of course, it's hardly surprising that I found you special on Thursday and covered you in goose down4

And our night became like the ones of Leo and Kate5

"We on top of the world", I’m completely brainwashed

But I like it, yeah, you show me what life is

And yes, your life is one like Kylie's6, but just somewhat more rounded and healthy

That’s exactly how my vibe is, yeah

You're the nicest

Call the bellboy, order champagne

Fuck the prices, you’re rolling with Crane

[Pre-Chorus: Guus Meeuwis]

If it were possible, I'd be with you still

And if you need to get used to it, I understand that baby, you take your time

We live for this, plus cash and baguettes

And this night has everything I was looking for at this place

[Chorus: Kraantje Pappie & Guus Meeuwis]

It's a night

One normally sees only in movies

It's a night

Sung about in the nicest song

It's a night

I thought I'd never experience

But tonight I am experiencing it

With you, oh

[Outro: Kraantje Pappie]

But tonight I am experiencing it with you, oh

And yes, I only love you from now on, oh-oh

Yes, I only love you from now on
