Origineel
[Verse 1]
I was sitting by the phone
I was waiting all alone
Baby by myself I sit and wait and wonder about you
It’s a dark and dreary night
Seems like nothing’s going right
Won’t you tell me honey how can I go on here without you?
[Pre-Chorus]
Yes, I’m down and feeling blue
And I don’t know what to do, oh-oh
[Chorus]
Ring, ring, why don’t you give me a call?
Ring, ring, the happiest sound of them all
Ring, ring, I stare at the phone on the wall
And I sit all alone impatiently
Won’t you please understand the need in me
So, ring, ring, why don’t you give me a call?
Oh, ring, ring, why don’t you give me a call?
[Verse 2]
You were here and now you’re gone
Hey, did I do something wrong?
I just can’t believe that I could be so badly mistaken
Was it me or was it you?
Tell me, are we really through?
Won’t you hear me cry and you will know that my heart is breaking
[Pre-Chorus]
Please forgive and then forget
Or maybe darling better yet, oh-oh
[Chorus]
Ring, ring, why don’t you give me a call?
Ring, ring, the happiest sound of them all
Ring, ring, I stare at the phone on the wall
And I sit all alone impatiently
Won’t you please understand the need in me
So, ring, ring, why don’t you give me a call?
Oh, ring, ring, why don’t you give me a call?
[Outro]
Oh-oh, ring, ring, why don’t you give me a call?
So, ring, ring, why don’t you give me a call?
Oh-oh, ring, ring, why don’t you give me a…
Vertaling
[Verse 1]
Ik zat bij de telefoon.
I was waiting all alone
Baby by myself I sit and wait and wonder about you
It’s a dark and dreary night
Seems like nothing’s going right
Wil je me niet vertellen schat hoe kan ik hier verder gaan zonder jou?
[Pre-Chorus]
Yes, I’m down and feeling blue
And I don’t know what to do, oh-oh
[Chorus]
Ring, ring, why don’t you give me a call?
Ring, ring, het gelukkigste geluid van allemaal
Ring, ring, ik staar naar de telefoon aan de muur
En ik zit helemaal alleen ongeduldig
Wil je alsjeblieft de behoefte in mij begrijpen
Dus, ring, ring, waarom bel je me niet?
Oh, bel, bel, waarom bel je me niet?
[Verse 2]
Je was hier en nu ben je weg
Hey, heb ik iets verkeerds gedaan?
Ik kan gewoon niet geloven dat ik me zo kan vergissen
Was ik het of was jij het?
Zeg me, zijn we echt klaar?
Wil je me niet horen huilen en dan weet je dat mijn hart breekt
[Pre-Chorus]
Alsjeblieft vergeef en vergeet
Of misschien lieverd beter nog, oh-oh
[Chorus]
Ring, ring, why don’t you give me a call?
Ring, ring, het gelukkigste geluid van allemaal
Ring, ring, ik staar naar de telefoon aan de muur
En ik zit helemaal alleen ongeduldig
Wil je alsjeblieft de behoefte in mij begrijpen
Dus, ring, ring, waarom bel je me niet?
Oh, bel, bel, waarom bel je me niet?
[Outro]
Oh-oh, ring, ring, waarom bel je me niet?
So, ring, ring, why don’t you give me a call?
Oh-oh, ring, ring, waarom geef je me geen…
