Vertaling van: Lichterlaaie - Slapeloze Nachten

Almost five to twelve
I put some things in a row
Some simple thoughts
Dancing by one by one
I'm trying to let it go
But there's so much going through my mind
And it's almost five to one

Ten to two
I'm pushing the covers off me
I ask some questions out loud
But the ceiling is as silent as the grave
The whole world is sleeping
But I'm full of energy
How time flies
It's already twenty past three

Sleepless nights
Wake up with my eyes closed
I'm limping on ten thoughts
Light on the horizon
This is the second night already
And I can't bear it anymore
Restless hours
I try with all my might
But I'm being overtaken by the night

Seven past four
I'm following a shadow on the wall
Out for a drink
It's oil on the fire
Behind the piano
I'm back in business
The night is soon over
It's already seven past five Sleepless nights
Wake up with my eyes closed
I'm limping on ten thoughts
Light on the horizon
This is the second night already
And I can't bear it anymore
Restless hours
I try with all my might
But I'm being overtaken by the night

In the afternoon at one or two o'clock
Then my whole world collapses
I walk around the room like a zombie
I'm really tired, so much to do
But it all makes no sense
I would like to sleep
I'm going back to my bed

Sleepless nights
Wake up with my eyes closed
I'm limping on ten thoughts
Light on the horizon
This is the second night already
And I can't bear it anymore
Restless hours
I try with all my might
But I'm being overtaken by the night

I lying and I wait...
