Vertaling van: Acda en de Munnik - Laat Me Slapen

Last night, I lay awake again, mom
Because of everything I don't know
And for nothing I had a solution
Nothing but my ass

Not that I don't care
But what do I know about it?
Sometimes I thought: Suppose if...
And then, it was what it was

Last night, I lay awake again, mom
Just went out of my bed
And as though I didn't have enough shit
Turned on the radio

The whole night The Beatles, mom
And every other hour that word
I'm sorry, mom, I'm so sorry
John Lennon has been killed
God's Son was back on earth, mom
Same message, same hair
And 'All You Need Is Love', so fine
But apparently not true
Let me sleep
Let me sleep
Let me sleep
Let me sleep

Last morning, when the newspaper came, mom
I conceived the solution
And I gave it back
I gave it back
To the boy who brought it

And only then I passed that sentence
Which hits the truth:
'Life is what happens to you
While you're making other plans'

God's Son was back on earth, mom
And 'Imagine' was his word*
So the world is a Paradise
And I didn't hear, he's dead

* = Hier wordt de in 1980 doodgeschoten Beatles-zanger John Lennon bedoeld
