Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Weet Je Nog by Herman van Veen from Dutch to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Weet je nog? toen de wind de bomen
Remember? when the wind hit the trees
Tergde en hen de mantels van het lichaam trok
provoked them and took off their cloaks from their bodies
Dat wij samen de regen kletterde bij stromen
That we watched the rain pour down together
Schuilden en jij zo schrok
Hiding and you were so scared
Toen ik je zei dat dit het eind was, en voorgoed
When I told you this was the end, and forever
Onze wegen zouden scheiden
Our paths would part
'Mijn arme kind, 't is droevig maar het moet
'My poor child, it is sad but it must be done
Beter is het heen te gaan', ik zweeg en jij schreide
It is better to go', I was silent and you wept
Weet je nog? dat mijn hand de jouwe
Remember? that my hand is yours
Zachtjes drukte, omdat jij spoedig zou zien
Press gently, because you would see soon
Dat ik niet de beste was
That I wasn't the best
En dat jij door je tranen lachte en zei: 'Misschien!'
And that you laughed through your tears and said, 'Maybe!'
Nu is het herfst opnieuw en regen, maar alleen
Now it is autumn again and rain, but alone
Schuil ik onder 't lover, denk aan jou en ween
I hide under the foliage, think of you and weep
