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
