Ik kan je dromen

You haven't earned a thing and it's not your birthday yet
You don't need much, still, I'm giving you something
And whether I ever get anything back for it
Doesn't matter, I'm giving you my dreams for free

My dreams are fuller and prettier than before
Since I saw you out of the blue somewhere
I've known you for a week but I can already dream of you
And I do that every single day

Dreams that come from deep within
Born from joy, happiness, and sorrow
A splintered desire, a part of yourself
That you usually hide before anyone sees it

A dream for a child that was never born
If his parents hadn't made a mistake once
Growing up and learning that you live to work
And works until he realizes he's still missing something

Dreams for someone who can't sleep anymore
A dream for a man who wears his life away
In the struggle to be the first and the best
Who has everything already, except for time

Time for the hazel tree, early in spring
A light green dream of a blooming tree
Dreams like drops on fire-red apples
A branch is in bloom in the house where I live

Scents and colors decorate the world
For someone who doesn't run from reality
As the sun sets, the sky is on earth
And the mosquitoes dance high in the air

You haven't earned a thing and it's not your birthday yet
You have almost everything, still, I'm giving you something
A day like a flower in the vase on the table
A day like today, you get for free
