Mien kamertie - Daniël Lohues traduction en anglais

Mien kamertie

Hoe het kan weet ik niet
Ik dacht an mien kamertie
Waor ik as kind altied sleup
Wus weer precies hoe 't was
En precies hoe het klönk
As mien mamme mij reup
De posters met knopspelties in het behang
En mar dreumen van later

Oh, op mien kamertie
Soms in 'n dreum ben 'k der weer
Oh, op mien kamertie
Kon ik mar terug veur ien keer
Mar dat kamertie is der niet meer

Had zölf 'n radio
Heurde daor wat ik wol
De wereld gung veur mij lös
Urenlang lusteren
Zolang dat pa me vreug
Wat ik daor aal zo lang mus
Ik lag niet te slaopen, ik keek veur mij uut
En mar dreumen van later

Oh, op mien kamertie
Soms in 'n dreum ben 'k der weer
Oh, op mien kamertie
Kon ik mar terug veur ien keer
Mar dat kamertie is der niet meer

Hadden ze me plaogd op 't schoelplein
Of bij kalverliefdesverdriet
Gung ik gauw naor mien kamertie
Daor kregen ze me niet

't Is allang later
En toch dreum ik verder
Terugge kan niet meer

Oh, op mien kamertie
Oh, op mien kamertie
Oh, op mien kamertie

My Little Room

I don't know how it happens,
But I was thinking of my little room,
Where I always slept as a child.
I remembered exactly how it was,
And exactly how it sounded
When my mom called me.
The posters with thumbtacks in the wallpaper,
And just dreaming of the future.

Oh, in my little room,
Sometimes in a dream, I'm there again.
Oh, in my little room,
If only I could go back just once.
But that little room is no longer there.

I had my own radio,
Listened to what I wanted.
The world opened up for me.
Listening for hours,
Until my dad asked me
What I was doing there for so long.
I wasn't sleeping, I was looking ahead,
And just dreaming of the future.

Oh, in my little room,
Sometimes in a dream, I'm there again.
Oh, in my little room,
If only I could go back just once.
But that little room is no longer there.

If they teased me in the schoolyard,
Or during puppy love heartbreak,
I quickly went to my little room.
They couldn't get to me there.

It's long ago now,
And yet I still dream on.
Going back is no longer possible.

Oh, in my little room,
Oh, in my little room,
Oh, in my little room,
