Het is een nacht [English translation]

You ask whether I want a cigaret

It's two o'clock at night, we're lying in bed

In a hotel in a city where nobody hears us

Where nobody knows us and nobody disturbs us

There's an empty wine bottle on the floor

And articles of clothing that could be either yours or mine

A dusk, the radio soft and this night has everything

I expect from a night

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

I'm still awake and I'm staring at the ceiling

Thinking how the day started long ago

Just leaving with you at a whim

Not knowing where the journey would end

Now I lie in a perfectly strange city

Having just experienced the night of my life

But alas! light is again seeping through the windows

Although last night the world halted for us

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

But a song are merely words

The movie is staged

But this night with you is true to life

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

And it's only you I end up loving

And it's only you I end up loving
