Origineel
You laughed and called me lucky
For having you around
Then you stepped up to the bar and started swayin’
The crowd all sang, Ophelia
As we drank another round
Oh, bye, bye, bye, bye baby
Rain feel on the window
As we watched the sailors dance
You kissed my hand and said, you were beside me
I held onto the moment
When I thought there was a chance
Oh, bye, bye, bye, bye baby
I’d read you the letters
That had blown in from the west
And we’d whisper of the dreams we’d been savin’
You said, you’d have it all
Nothing more and nothing less
Oh, bye, bye, bye, bye baby
Now there’s an emptiness standin’ at the door
Tryin’ to take me back to the way I was before
I used to feel alone here but it’s not that way no more
Oh, bye, bye, bye, bye baby
Now the drunks have turned to strangers
And the stars are out of tune
As I think about the one who might’ve saved me
I know you’re out there somewhere
Between the highway and the moon
Oh, bye, bye, bye, bye baby
Oh, bye, bye, bye, bye baby
Vertaling
Je lachte en noemde me gelukkig
dat ik je in de buurt had
Toen stapte je naar de bar en begon te swingen
De menigte zong, Ophelia
As we drink another round
Oh, dag, dag, dag, dag baby
Regen voelde op het raam
As we watched the sailors dance
Je kuste mijn hand en zei dat je naast me stond
Ik hield me vast aan het moment
Toen ik dacht dat er een kans was
Oh, dag, dag, dag, dag baby
I’d read you the letters
That had blown in from the west
And we’d whisper of the dreams we’d been savin’
You said, you’d have it all
Niets meer en niets minder
Oh, dag, dag, dag, dag baby
Now there’s an emptiness standin’ at the door
Tryin’ to take me back to the way I was before
Ik voelde me hier altijd alleen, maar dat is nu niet meer zo
Oh, bye, bye, bye, bye baby
Now the drunks have turned to strangers
And the stars are out of tune
Als ik denk aan degene die me had kunnen redden
I know you’re out there somewhere
Between the highway and the moon
Oh, bye, bye, bye, bye baby
Oh, bye, bye, bye, bye baby
