Lyrics
Ik was amper elf, het ging gewoon vanzelf
'k Zag alleen maar meisjes in m’n dromen
Ik heb wat afgegluurd, bij ons thuis en in de buurt
En ik ben er ook steeds door van school gestuurd
'k Zag jou onder de douche en raakte in een roes
't Was 't allermooiste in m’n leven
Jij wist dat ik daar stond, beschaamd met open mond
't Duurde maar heel even
Amy
Duizend keer schreef ik je naam
Amy
In m’n adem, op 't raam
Amy
'k Kon er met niemand over praten
'k Voelde me zo verlaten
Maandenlang sloop ik elke nacht heel voorzichtig bij je, in je kamer
En keek naar je gezicht, je lieve ogen dicht
Soms dan werd het buiten alweer licht
Ik spijbelde van school, en zonderde me af
'k Bracht de ouwelui steeds in de zorgen
De reden, dat was jij, lieve zus van mij
Hoe hield ik 't verborgen
O, Amy
Het duurde eigenlijk veel te lang
Amy
De liefde maakte me zo bang
Amy
Je hebt het nooit echt willen weten
Maar 'k zal het nooit vergeten
Ik was amper elf, 't ging gewoon vanzelf
'k Zag alleen maar meisjes in m’n dromen
Ik heb wat afgegluurd, bij ons thuis en in de buurt
En ik ben er ook steeds door van school gestuurd
'k Zag jou onder de douche en raakte in een roes
't Was 't allermooiste in m’n leven
Jij wist dat ik daar stond, beschaamd met open mond
't Duurde maar heel even
Amy
Duizend keer schreef ik je naam
Amy
In m’n adem, op 't raam
Amy
'k Kon er met niemand over praten
'k Voelde me zo verlaten
O, Amy
't Duurde eigenlijk veel te lang
Amy
De liefde maakte me zo bang
Amy
Lyrics translation
I was barely 11, it just happened by itself.
I only saw girls in my dreams
I peeked a little at our house and the neighborhood.
And I've been expelled from school because of it all the time.
I saw you in the shower and I got in a rush.
it Was the most beautiful thing in my life .
You knew I was standing there, shamed with open mouth.
it only took a minute .
Amy.
A thousand times I wrote Your Name
Amy.
In my breath, on the window
Amy.
I couldn't talk to anyone about it .
I felt so abandoned
For months, I'd sneak up on you every night very carefully, in your room.
And looked at your face, your sweet eyes closed
Sometimes the outside was bright again
I skipped school, and I kept my distance.
I've always put the old folks in a lot of trouble.
The reason, that was you, dear sister of mine.
How did I hide it?
Oh, Amy.
It actually took way too long.
Amy.
Love scared me so much
Amy.
You never really wanted to know.
But I'll never forget
I was barely 11, it just happened by itself.
I only saw girls in my dreams
I peeked a little at our house and the neighborhood.
And I've been expelled from school because of it all the time.
I saw you in the shower and I got in a rush.
it Was the most beautiful thing in my life .
You knew I was standing there, shamed with open mouth.
it only took a minute .
Amy.
A thousand times I wrote Your Name
Amy.
In my breath, on the window
Amy.
I couldn't talk to anyone about it .
I felt so abandoned
Oh, Amy.
it actually took way too long
Amy.
Love scared me so much
Amy.
