The song was translated into English by Gentry Bronson, Sacco Koster & Jesse Brewster. Here are the lyrics:

You dont need your coat on anymore
Or worry about your bicycle
Let the storm wind rage in darkness
Inside its warm and good and light
Hand in hand we watch the rain fall down
I see the fire of hope and doubt in your eyes
And I know your deepest fears

One can never be sure of anything and nothing lasts forever
But I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe in you and me

When you get up in the morning Im with you
And Ive already made fresh tea
When the sun shines we go walk out in the dunes
And when it rains we go back to bed
For hours we wake up slowly floating through the time
The light shines through the curtains and then I know
That everything can change the past has shown

One can never be sure of anything and nothing lasts forever
But I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe in you and me
I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe in you and me

I turn off the lights, the room turns dark
And a street light shines in from outside
All these things in the room, become friends who go to sleep
And the chairs are waiting for their breakfast now
Tomorrow I will wake up with the smell of bread and honey
And the gloss of golden sunlight in your hair
The things in the room I wish them goodnight
Tonight we go to sleep and see what tomorrow brings
But everything in the room would be lifeless without you

One can never be sure of anything and nothing lasts forever
But I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe in you and me
I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe in you and me

One can never be sure of anything and nothing lasts forever
But I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe in you and me
I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe in you and me

[woutertjuh14]

Somebody the lyrics of this song in English?

[gentrybronson]

I can send them to you if you want

[FuckingPolitics]

i cant believe im saying this but dutch actually fits this song better.

its really not often when you can say it, but its something of his voice that makes it well his

although it sounds nice nothing can top the original.

the singing was done great only they used to much Spanish guitar to make it the song that i heard form when i was little(btw i'm 15).

[MrSNOWBLAST]

sometimes one looses a channel and all subscriptions along with it. i believe you were supposed to come to the netherlands couple of months ago isn't it? how did the performing go?

b.t.w. this is a new version ? well done, i like it. can send this to my englisch speaking friends whenever the music sharing rage hits once again lol

[supertov]

Wow, superbe interpretation. Very nice.

[GnRvsDS]

Translation is OK, quite literally treanslated. Musically it's goo :) Too bad the rhyme is now missing,then it would have been even better

[Panzee290]

in the dutch version you can feel the passion and the love this man has for his lover, don't you agree?

ps.

Im dutch too

DUTCH POWER!!! LOL

pss.

If you ain't dutch, you aint much

[foxxiej]

I'm a 18 year old male, who loves listening to the dutch version, but this version is soo much renewed and a new type of song has been made, which sounds perfect!!!!

Tho, because I'm dutch, I prefer the Dutch version, as i can live and feel with it

Still a good song, be proud of it, Boudewijn would!
