Origineel
[Intro]
Here I stand
Look around, around, around, around, around
But you won’t see me
Now I’m here
Now I’m there
I’m just a
Just a new man
Yes, you made me live again
[Verse 1]
A baby I was when you took my hand
And the light of the night burned bright
And the people all stared didn’t understand
But you knew my name on sight
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Whatever came of you and me
America’s new bride to be
Ooh, don’t worry, baby, I’m safe and sound
[Chorus 1]
Down in the dungeon just Peaches and me
Don’t I love her so?
Yeah, she made me live again
Yeah
[Verse 2]
A thin moon me in a smoke-screen sky
Where the beams of your love-light chase
Don’t move, don’t speak, don’t feel no pain
With the rain running down my face
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Your matches still light up the sky
And many a tear lives on in my eye
[Chorus 2]
Down in the city just Hoople and me
Don’t I love him so?
Ooh, don’t I love him so?
[Bridge]
Whatever comes of you and me
I’d love to leave my memory with you
[Verse 3]
Now I’m here
Think I’ll stay around, around, around, around, around, around
Down in the city just as you and me
Don’t I love you so
[Outro]
Go, go, go, little queenie!
Vertaling
[Intro]
Here I stand
Kijk rond, rond, rond, rond
Maar je zult me niet zien
Nu ben ik hier
Nu ben ik daar
Ik ben gewoon een
Gewoon een nieuwe man
Yes, you made me live again
[Verse 1]
Ik was een baby toen je mijn hand nam
And the light of the night burned bright
En de mensen staarden en begrepen het niet
Maar je wist mijn naam op zicht
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Wat er ook kwam van jou en mij
America’s new bride to be
Ooh, don’t worry, baby, I’m safe and sound
[Chorus 1]
Beneden in de kerker, alleen Peaches en ik
Hou ik niet van haar?
Ja, ze liet me weer leven
Yeah
[Verse 2]
A thin moon me in a smoke-screen sky
Where the beams of your love-light chase
Niet bewegen, niet spreken, geen pijn voelen
With the rain running down my face
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Jouw lucifers verlichten nog steeds de hemel
En menige traan leeft voort in mijn oog
[Chorus 2]
Down in the city just Hoople and me
Don’t I love him so?
Ooh, hou ik niet zoveel van hem?
[Bridge]
Wat er ook komt van jou en mij
I’d love to leave my memory with you
[Verse 3]
Now I’m here
Think I’ll stay around, around, around, around, around
Down in the city just as you and me
Don’t I love you so
[Outro]
Go, go, go, little queenie!
