Ik leef mijn eigen leven [English translation]

I close my eyes and think

everything is running through me

then I see my whole life

I've enjoyed, but also cried

But I'll never really regret it

It was always alcohol, and friends around me

There were parties every day

But it was the life, I wanted back then

I chose for it

We went through from time to time

The nights were long, then you fell right into your bed

No penny in your pocket, no bread in the house

But stil you would keep on smiling

I'm looking back now, and still I don't feel regrets

They were nice years

'cause I didn't harm anyone with what I did

It's my own life

I don't understand either why it upsets other people

It's my life, like I want to live it

I never fight, just leave me alone

I live my life, like I want

I don't get involved in other people's business

I live my life, like I want

Let me go before I change anyhow

Let me go, let me go
