We doen wat we kunnen [English translation]

In the morning I always search for your warmth

And the afternoon does never just pass away

And in the evening you want to dance and explain the world

And the night seems lighter when I make love to you (1)

I know that the clock arrow keeps turning

I know that it'll never be different

I know that one can't stop time

But we do what we can (do)

In spring you bring arms full of flowers

In summer, no day lasts too long for you

And in winter you have to laugh

When we, wet from the rain,

drop our clothes in the hallway

I know that the clock arrow keeps turning

I know that it'll never be different

I know that one can't stop time

But we do what we can (do)

I know it, we're humans (2)

And the ticking of the clock scares me sometimes

And I hope that it'll last a long time

And until that time I keep longing for, longing for, longing for

I know that the clock arrow keeps turning

I know that it'll never be different

I know that one can't stop time

But we do what we can (do)

You know, you know,

You know, that one can't stop time

But we do what we can (do)
