De Klock is Dree [English translation]

I noticed you immediately

Among all the other faces,

Your eyes so tender and soft,

Your smile so wide and inviting.

You came over to me,

Two glasses of wine in your hand.

You were charming and clever.

I was immediately under your spell.

It’s 3 o’clock,

just us two

And a last cigarette which you lit for me.

Already it’s all becoming clear

What all this means.

We talk a bit,

And, then, you look at me longingly.

And then you are silent.

We are side by side,

And I’m tingling like never before.

I’m over 40 and feeling like a teenager.

The turntable spins

And what you are saying makes me feel so good.

You are so intoxicating.

You are so intimate.

And then you kiss me on the neck

And gently stroke my face.

You are much too young, but I don’t care.

It’s 3 o’clock.

just we two

As you stare into my eyes.

Now it is clear

What all this means:

The first cigarette,

Your silence.

I lie beside you now

And the sun shines as never before when you look at me.

And I will stay with you

Until the moon shines as never before.

Over 40 and I still feel like a teenager.
