Dansen aan zee [English translation]

My ship is arriving there

I'm watching from the beach

Writing in the sand

Is over for me

Because the letters of your name

Don't stay around in the sand

However the laws of the land

Don't count on open sea

So I bring your name along

Grant me a farewell

and forgive me for counting

all the steps out loud

Let us dance, my love

Dance by the sea

Let us dance, my love

Dance by the sea

A goodbye waltz at the waterline

Dance by the sea

One for your tears

Two for mine

Three for the horizon

From which we disappear

You knew who I was

Swinging with my coat

My arms wide and empty

And a heart that kept screamingly silent

That longed more and more for you

To the warmth of your cheek

Let us dance, my love

Dance by the sea

Let us dance, my love

Dance by the sea

A goodbye waltz at the waterline

Dance by the sea

One for your tears

Two for mine

Three for the horizon

From which we disappear

Tell me it was nothing

and tell me I was dreaming

Tell me I was crazy

Dare to tell me I was dreaming

Tell me I was stupid

But I never dreamed

Let us dance, my love

Dance by the sea

Let us dance, my love

Dance by the sea

A goodbye waltz at the waterline

Dance by the sea

One for your tears

Two for mine

Three for the horizon

From which we disappear
