FLEMMING
Original lyrics
Dutch
Translation
English
Wolken
Clouds
About six years old, Harry Potter socks on in class
Everyone laughs and I was bullied
Because Flemming sings and he dresses weirdly
Don't have anyone here, teacher sits next to me during playtime
She says "I don't get why everybody's nagging"
Birthday parties are not celebrated (No)
I felt lonely
I wanted it to be better
I felt scared
And searched for a place where I could be safe
And oh, I was always on cloud nine
Always in the clouds
And oh, I was always on cloud nine
Because within these clouds I can be who I want to be
Twelve years, new school and immediately it began again
You're a loser and your glasses look weird
Good joke, mate, ha-ha-ha
Oh, I want to get out of here, bad things are being said again
Hate messages on my MSN, can't win this fight (No)
I felt lonely
I wanted it to be better
I went to a place where I could be myself
And oh, I was always on cloud nine
Always in the clouds
And oh, I was always on cloud nine
Because within these clouds I can be who I want to be
(Can I be who I want to be)
Mama told me, "Be yourself, ignore what is being said
'Cause you're perfect just the way you are"
Mama told me, "Be yourself, ignore what is being said
'Cause you're perfect just the way you are"
And oh, I was always on cloud nine
Always in the clouds
And oh, I was always on cloud nine
Because within these clouds I can be who I want to be
(Can I be who I want to be)

'In de wolken' literally translates to 'in the clouds', but it is a saying which has the same meaning as the English saying 'being on cloud nine'. That is why I've chosen for the translation of the context instead of the literal translation of the sentence.
