We doen wat we kunnen [English translation]

In the mornings I always seek your warmth / And the afternoons never pass just like that / In the evenings you want to dance and explain the world / And the night seems brighter when making love to you

I know the clock's hand keeps turning

I know it will never get different

I know one can't halt time

But we do what we can

In spring you bring arms full of flowers

In summer no day is too long for you

And in winter it makes you laugh

When, wet with rain,

We drop our clothes in the hallway

I know the clock's hand keeps turning

I know it will never get different

I know one can't halt time

But we do what we can

I know - we are people

And sometimes the ticking clock frightens me / And I hope it will take a long time

And till that time I'll be longing, longing, longing, longing

You know the clock's hand keeps turning

You know it will never get different

You know you can't halt time

But we do what we can

You know, you know

You know you can't halt time

But we do what we can
