Vertaling van: Trijntje Oosterhuis - Wat Is Mijn Hart

What is my heart (Of what use is my heart)
When it's hollow
When it's aged (old)
When it's cold and frozen
When it bleeds
Which it does
Now that it is angered and lost
What is my heart

What is your word (Of what use is your word)
When it's cool
When it's quiet
When it's harsh and thought out
When the picture you paint
Burns within me and is disorted
What is your word

Don't betray me
Don't leave me
And don't surrender
But fight for me

What is my name (What am I)
Am I anything
Am I nothing
Am I someone or no one anymore?
Look me in the eyes
Talk to me
In the sound of the first time
What is my name
What is your heart
When it stops
Doesn't pound anymore
When it's no longer committed
When it's cold and in dismay
And it hides from reality
What is your heart

Don't betray me
Don't leave me
And don't surrender
But fight for me

The night can be cold
And the day lacks color
Hollow is my life without you in it

So don't take away
What you give me
Care about me,
Please

Don't leave me
What is my heart
