Vertaling van: Veldhuis & Kemper - Oud Geboren
Why aren't you born old?
So that the best is yet to come
Everything then went backwards
And too late was too early
Then you would never have lost your innocence
You got it back right at the end
And your wisdom was innate
Your future is already behind you
You are a little more naive every day
And everything is fun, because you are not used to anything
Gullible and small towards the end
So that I don't have to be terrified of death Then you saw your body getting stronger and stronger
Then you still had your youth ahead of you
Everything turned out fine that once went off the rails
And too late was too early
When I turn sixteen
I am fighting my last battle
I lose my wild hair again
But now in puberty
Better yet, I want to go back and forth
Almost dying and then dying again
No matter how it goes, I want a gentle death
So I can sleep, I can sleep, I can sleep in my mother's womb
So that the best is yet to come
Everything then went backwards
And too late was too early
Then you would never have lost your innocence
You got it back right at the end
And your wisdom was innate
Your future is already behind you
You are a little more naive every day
And everything is fun, because you are not used to anything
Gullible and small towards the end
So that I don't have to be terrified of death Then you saw your body getting stronger and stronger
Then you still had your youth ahead of you
Everything turned out fine that once went off the rails
And too late was too early
When I turn sixteen
I am fighting my last battle
I lose my wild hair again
But now in puberty
Better yet, I want to go back and forth
Almost dying and then dying again
No matter how it goes, I want a gentle death
So I can sleep, I can sleep, I can sleep in my mother's womb
