NIGHT SONG


I would like to fly with you tonight.
I would like to fly with you into the night above the city.
I would like to fly with you above the thousands of sparks and lights.
I know that all secrets are hidden in your back’s starry skies.

I would like to fly with you tonight.
I would like to fly with you personally on the carpet
above the mosques, the synagogues, and church crosses.
I would like to fly with you personally. You and I alone.
I know that all secrets are hidden in your back’s starry skies.

I would like to fly with you tonight.
Your angels will light up everything with a large flashlight.
I would like to fly with you far from here and beyond.
I know that all secrets are hidden in your back’s starry skies.

EEN NACHTELIJK GEDICHT


Ik zou vannacht met je willen vliegen.
Ik zou met je over de stad willen vliegen, de nacht in.
Ik zou boven de duizenden glinsteringen en lichtjes met je willen vliegen.
Ik weet het, alle geheimen liggen verborgen langs de sterrenhemel in je rug.

Ik zou vannacht met je willen vliegen.
Ik zou met jou persoonlijk op het tapijt willen vliegen.
Boven de moskeeën, de synagogen, over de kruizen van kerken.
Ik zou met jou persoonlijk willen vliegen, jij en ik alleen.
Ik weet het, alle geheimen liggen verborgen langs de sterrenhemel in je rug.

Ik zou vannacht met je willen vliegen.
Jouw engelen zullen alle plekken met een grote lantaarn beschijnen.
Ik zou met je weg willen vliegen, ver weg.
Ik weet het, alle geheimen liggen verborgen langs de sterrenhemel in je rug.
