Floske

Ik wille were blinken,
Blinken lik tevuorn.
Magge nimmi drienken.
En magge nimmi smuoren.

Tis olles dak nog i.
Tis tjinigste dak kanne.
Min ogen behun te traenen
Ok mie zjirre nie vermanne.

Minsen zeggen 't i nie moeilijk
Mor ze ston nie in min skoen.
Kot o ollemolle gelaeten
Moestek weten oedakket moe doen.

Nu zittek in de zetel
In min oede caravanne.
En o dak doe is mie ipfretten.
Ndokteur zegt dak nie magge.

Vroeger zottek overols,
In iddere cafe.
En o de meiskes droeken,
Ze droeken met mie mee.

Soms nog ipt gemak
Mor oltit ip min kosten.
Ik drienke nu oljinne,
Rechtstreeks ut de floske.

Dokteur zegt dak ni magge.

Mo wik weetie em da von,
In zinne villa met struoin dak.
Directeur in van de cirque menjir
Is hinne hobby mor een vak.

In wik dak doe ben kik den besten,
Ti min jiwwige verhael.
Mo moestj' ol een bitje beter lustern
Zoek min eigen nie moeten er oln.

Ik, ik goa de cirque weer ipbouw,
Ik wete wik dak doe.
Ki kracht voer een laste poginge.
Ot ni likt doek de boeken toe.

Nu zittek in de zetel,
In min oede caravanne.
En o dak doe is mie ipfretten.
Ndokteur zegt dak nie magge.

Vroeger zottek overols,
In iddere cafe.
En o de meiskes droeken,
Ze droeken met mie mee.

Soms nog ipt gemak
Mor oltit ip min kosten.
Ik drienke nu oljinne,
Rechtstreeks ut de floske.

Ot die floske uoit leef ho zin

Wan w'in nog tuope ip café gewist
Tot dai der anders over it beslist.
Toet vandoage ik u nuois gemist.
Errinerdje mie nog?
Errinerdje mie nog?

Floske

I want to once again shine,
Shine as before.
No longer able to drink.
No longer able to smoke.

It’s all still there.
It’s something you can do.
My eyes starting to tear up,
You can't help me in any way.

People say it's not difficult,
But they don't stand in my shoes.
As soon as they all leave,
I have to figure out what to do.

Now I'm sitting in the armchair,
In my old caravan.
And all I do is worry.
The doctor says I shouldn't.

I used to have fun everywhere,
In every cafe.
And the girls drank,
They drank with me.

Sometimes still at my leisure,
But always at my expense.
I drink it all now,
Straight from the flask.

The doctor says I shouldn't.

But I know more than him,
In his villa with a thatched roof.
Director of the medical circus,
His hobby is just a job.

I know that I'm the best at what I do,
For my entire life.
But you need to listen a little better,
I don't have to find myself again.

I'm going to rebuild the circus,
I know what I'm doing.
The strength for one last try.
Otherwise close the books.

Now I'm sitting in the armchair,
In my old caravan.
And all I do is worry.
The doctor says I shouldn't.

I used to have fun everywhere,
In every cafe.
And the girls drank,
They drank with me.

Sometimes still at my leisure,
But always at my expense.
I drink it all now,
Straight from the flask.

If that flask ever becomes empty
I'll find the numbers of those girls.
I'll call them and say, hey honey,
Do you still remember me?
When we used to go to the cafe together,
Until something else came along.
Up until today I've never missed you.
Do you still remember me?
Do you still remember me?
