Jeroen Van Der Boom – Mag ik Dan Bij Jou Translated Lyrics

Posted on September 30, 2022December 8, 2022 by Self Study Dutch

The song today is very beautiful. I have been listening to it on repeat for the past few days. Below you will find the lyrics translated in English so you can study them and probably sing along as I do when no one is around.  

Als de oorlog komt
En als ik dan moet schuilen
Mag ik dan bij jou?

Maar als er een clubje komt
Waar ik niet bij wil horen
Mag ik dan bij jou?

Als er een regel komt
Waar ik niet aan voldoen kan
Mag ik dan bij jou?

En als ik iets moet zijn
Dat ik nooit geweest ben
Mag ik dan bij jou?

Mag ik dan bij jou schuilen?
Als het nergens anders kan
En als ik moet huilen
Droog jij m’n tranen dan?
Want als ik bij jou mag
Mag jij altijd bij mij
Kom wanneer je wil
Ik hou een kamer voor je vrij

Als het onweer komt
En als ik dan bang ben
Mag ik dan bij jou?

En als de avond valt
En ’t is mij te donker
Mag ik dan bij jou?

Als de lente komt
En als ik dan verliefd ben
Mag ik dan bij jou?

Als de liefde komt
En ik weet het zeker
Mag ik dan bij jou?

Mag ik dan bij je schuilen?
Als het nergens anders kan
En als ik moet huilen
Droog jij m’n tranen dan?
Want als ik bij jou mag
Mag jij altijd bij mij
En kom wanneer je wil
Ik hou een kamer voor je vrij

Mag ik dan bij je schuilen?
Als het nergens anders kan
En als ik moet huilen
Droog jij m’n tranen dan?
Want als ik bij jou mag
Mag jij altijd bij mij
En kom wanneer je wil
Ik hou een kamer voor je vrij

Als het einde komt
En als ik dan bang ben
Mag ik dan bij jou?
Als het einde komt

En als ik dan alleen ben
Mag ik dan bij jou?
Bij jou

 

When war comes
And if I have to take shelter
Can I be with you then?

But if a club comes
Where I don’t want to belong
Can I be with you then?

If there comes a rule
That I can’t comply with
Then can I be with you?

And if I have to be something
That I’ve never been
Can I then be with you?

May I then take refuge with you?
When there’s nowhere else to be
And if I should cry
Will you dry my tears?
For if I may be with you
May you always be with me
Come whenever you like
I’ll keep a room for you

When the thunder comes
And when I’m scared
Can I be with you then?

And when night falls
And it’s too dark for me
Can I be with you then?

When spring comes
And when I’m in love
Can I be with you then?

When love comes
And I’m sure
Can I be with you then?

Can I then take shelter with you?
When there’s nowhere else to go
And when I cry
Will you dry my tears?
For if I may be with you
May you always be with me
And come when you like
I’ll keep a room for you

Can I shelter with you then?
When there’s nowhere else to hide
And when I cry
Will you dry my tears?
For if I can be with you
May you always be with me
And come when you like
I’ll keep a room for you

When the end comes
And when I’m afraid
Can I be with you then?

When the end comes
And when I’m alone
Can I be with you?
With you

 

I have to say I am impressd by listening to Dutch live concerts. So many people, singing and knowing the lyrics by heart. I am a fan already and luckily this helps my self study dutch journey so much. When i hear a word i know from a song it is like fireworks in my mind and i love it so much. 

Keep listening and singing. That is how you improve. I wil keep sharing the music finds that made an impact on my learning so you can benefit as well.
