Froukje - Ik Wil Dansen (English Translation)
[Refrain]
I want to go dancing
I’ve got nothing on this entire Tuesday night
A while ago, I was still crying
But I’m changing
I’m going clockwise, I’m alone again
I’m throwing my chances right away
But I want to go dancing now
I want to cry in the rain without using an umbrella
So no one will suspect me of not being well

[Verse 1]
It looks to be turning over when I’m dancing in the club because
Everyone you dance with will forget you
And I can go cold blood with my tears and my sweat
I can drown in my anger, nobody knows my name here
My loss completes me
Because if I were too happy
I would’ve been empty, my life would be leveled
I’ve got to cry to be writing, I’ve got to hide to stay
Tonight, I’ve got to dance
Tonight, I’ve got to dance

[Chorus]
I’m afraid of a new day
So I dance until the pain fades
And I know he’s waiting for me
Because the truth it harsh, but the night is soft
What if I stay here forever?
The club merges with the sweat on my body
I can’t redo my life
Tonight, I’ve got to dance
Tonight, I’ve got to dance
[Verse 2]
It’s getting late now
I see an idiot in the mirror and I hate her
There’s something that doesn’t want to talk
But that’s over, it’s done
And if I don’t dance with time, she’ll dance with me and
I’ve got to be moving
Yes, I fill an emptiness when I’m dancing in the club
And for a while they’ve been keeping silent
But I come across the voices in my head
I’ve got sweat in my hands and an aching head
But music has been numbing me since 2001
And I can feel my feet, they’re taking me away
And before I know it, it’s a quarter past two

[Bridge]
I’ve got to dance
Breathe in, breathe out
Don’t breathe, that will interrupt the noise
Don’t breathe, they’ll hear
That there’s something alive they can disturb

[Chorus]
I’m afraid of a new day
So I dance until the pain fades
And I know he’s waiting for me
Because the truth it harsh, but the night is soft
What if I stay here forever?
The club merges with the sweat on my body
I can’t resit my life
Tonight, I’ve got to dance
Tonight, I’ve got to dance
[Refrain]
I want to go dancing
I’ve got nothing on this entire Tuesday night
A while ago, I kept crying
But I’m changing
I’m going clockwise, I’m alone again
I’m throwing my chances right away
But I want to go dancing now
I want to cry in the rain without using an umbrella
So no one will suspect me of not being well
(Not well, not well, not well, not well)

[Chorus]
I’m afraid of a new day
So I dance until the pain fades
And I know he’s waiting for me
I’m going clockwise, I’m alone again
I’m throwing my chances right away
But I want to go dancing now
But I want to go dancing now
But I want to go dancing now
But I want to go dancing now (Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance)
But I want to go dancing now
Tonight, I’ve got to dance
Tonight, I’ve got to dance
I’m afraid of a new day
So I dance until the pain fades
And I know he’s waiting for me
Because the truth it harsh, but the night is soft
What if I stay here forever?
The club merges with the sweat on my body
I can’t redo my life
Tonight, I’ve got to dance
Tonight, I’ve got to dance
(Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance)
[Outro]
(I want to, I want to, I want to go dancing)
(I want to, I want to, I want to go dancing)
I can’t redo my life
Tonight, I’ve got to dance
Tonight, I’ve got to dance
I want to go dancing (I want to, I want to, I want to go dancing)
I want to go dancing (I want to, I want to, I want to go dancing)
I want to go dancing (I want to, I want to, I want to go dancing)
(Tonight, I’ve got to dance)
(I want to go dancing)
I can’t redo my life
Tonight, I’ve got to dance
Tonight, I’ve got to dance
