Paroles et traduction Daniël Lohues - Achter 't huus

Achter 't huus

Op de eindeloze snelweg
Mag ik ok wel hiel graag weden
mar toch blef 't altied onrust
En dan kom'k mezölf integen
Vanaf dan he'k mar ien doel
Naor mien eigen stoel

Achter 't huus
Alles peis en vree hier achter 't huus
Achter 't huus
onder dizze sterren ben ik thuus
beetie vuurtie branden
Wat wo'j nog meer dan?

In mien eigen kleine wereld
Denk ik groter as de wind weijt
In de vlammen zie ik toekomst
In de sterren eeuwigheid
en dan tel ik zegeningen
En dan gao ik zachies zingen

Ik wul nog ooit 's naor Timboektoe
En ok Chili wul ik hen
Mar ik weet nou al waor ik hen wul
As ik daor 'n poosie ben

Behind the House

On the endless highway, darling,
I like to be sometimes, I admit,
But it always remained restless, you see,
And then I come face to face with myself.
From then on I only have one goal, my love,
To my own chair, just for us two.

Behind the house,
All peace and quiet here behind the house,
Behind the house,
Under these stars I am home, with you,
A small fire burning, just for us,
What more could you want, my dear?

In my own little world, sweetheart,
I think bigger than the wind knows, just for you,
In the flames I see a future, ours,
In the stars eternity, my darling,
And then I count my blessings, holding you close,
And then I softly start to sing, for you.

I still want to go to Timbuktu someday, my love,
And I want to see Chile too, with you,
But I already know where I want to be, sweetheart,
When I've been there for a while, in your arms.
