In this category, the lyrics has been translated from Dutch to English. You get a point for the correct song and a point for the artist!

A lot of people around you, but you are so sweet with your smile
There are hours, days and months passing by that I am still waiting
I would love to be with you even if I have to work longer for free

Dreaming hours about us is what my night decides

None in the game that does what I do

Because I do not what they do
Do not do what you do

Do not what another one wants, do not do happy

Do not do proud, I will do myself

What I want with him you do not understand

Do not waste your time any longer please

You are confused, he belongs to me

That is now how he said to me

Because he is for me yes

And after that I am going to get an appetizer at ours in the city

And if I go home at midnight, shawarma on the road
Then it is Monday really time for a meeting at the doctor

And you know what the doctor said to me........

And so I buy you a cap with an anchor on it

What have we such fun with your silly head

And then I wear a sailor's hat

And nothing more than that (oh-la-la)

Are you coming sailing on the sea yes?
