Vertaling van: Acda en de Munnik - Schoolplein
He's not a hero
At least, not a big one
But he does his best to keep standing tall
Let him go ahead
His color suits the wallpaper
He can handle a little bit of the world
I don't know where he lives
But sometimes, he's sitting next to me
Suddenly, he's sitting next to me, outside on the stairs
Just ten, and without friends
And bullied so many times
But he doesn't admit that, he tells you a joke
When I walk up the schoolyard, man
Everyone's laughing (2x)
When he's sitting next to me, he talks for hours
He looks like me, like I used to be
Then I want to help, saying: look at me
I never was the most likable one in the class But then he says: what about now?
What are you doing now?
Yesterday, I just saw you on TV
You didn't seem to understand anything
But your jokes were getting tougher
And you're not getting much happier with that
When I walk up the schoolyard, man
Everyone's laughing (2x)
Sometimes, someone says:
Yesterday, I saw you sitting
Was wondering what you did
I just say: just talking with a guy
Who knows it all
Talking to yourself, as it's called
I'm not a hero
At least, not a big one
But I do my best to keep standing tall
The things I scream don't look too bad
But the things I write, I really am
In that way, I can handle a little bit of the world
When I walk up the schoolyard, man
Everyone's laughing (2x)
At least, not a big one
But he does his best to keep standing tall
Let him go ahead
His color suits the wallpaper
He can handle a little bit of the world
I don't know where he lives
But sometimes, he's sitting next to me
Suddenly, he's sitting next to me, outside on the stairs
Just ten, and without friends
