Hello dear readers of Eurovision Ireland!
Today we continue with our exciting series: One Day Love!
Each week we celebrate one song from Eurovision History. Here, you can find facts like: year, country, artist, title of the song, lyrics (translations when the song is in another language other than English), video, points and placement in the semi-final, final or even national final (if the song only performed at that stage of the competition).
This week we have a special guest for our One Day Love, and it comes this time from The Netherlands.
Year: 1996
Country: The Netherlands
Artist: Maxine & Franklin Brown
Title: De eerste keer
Lyrics:
| De eerste keer | The first time |
| Nana nana nana… | Nana nana nana… |
| Nana nana nana… | Nana nana nana… |
| Nanana nanana nanana… | Nanana nanana nanana… |
| Nana nana… | Nana nana… |
| ‘k Was stom verbaasd toen je me belde | I was utter surprised when you called me |
| Na zo’n lange tijd | After such a long time |
| M’n hart sloeg plotseling heel even over | My heart suddenly skipped a beat |
| Oh, en jij klonk nog hetzelfde | Oh, and you sounded still the same |
| En het meisje in mij | And the girl within me |
| Bracht zomaar weer ‘t onderste boven | Brought the undermost up, just like that |
| Oh, wat is ‘t lang geleden | Oh, it’s so long ago |
| Lang geleden | Long ago |
| Lang geleden | Long ago |
| ‘t Was als de eerste keer | It was like the first time |
| Het klikte zomaar weer | We hit it off immediately |
| De tijd stond even stil | Time stood still for a moment |
| Ik dacht weer: “Ja, ik wil” | I thought again: “Yes, I do” |
| ‘t Was als de eerste keer | It was like the first time |
| Het klikte zomaar weer | We hit it off immediately |
| De tijd stond even stil | Time stood still for a moment |
| Ik dacht weer: “Ja, ik wil” | I thought again: “Yes, I do” |
| “Wel wat met jou” | “Want something with you” |
| Hé, ik vond je toen te gek | Hey, back then I thought you were great |
| En was stapel op jou | I was madly in love with you |
| Heel macho en overal tegen | Very macho and against everything |
| Oh, en wat je nooit geweten hebt | Oh, and what you never knew |
| Ik hield veel van jou | I loved you very much |
| Maar eigenlijk was ik toen heel verlegen | But actually I was very shy then |
| Oh, wat is ‘t lang geleden | Oh, it’s so long ago |
| Lang geleden | Long ago |
| Lang geleden | Long ago |
| ‘t Was als de eerste keer | It was like the first time |
| Het klikte zomaar weer | We hit it off immediately |
| De tijd stond even stil | Time stood still for a moment |
| Ik dacht weer: ja, ik wil | I thought again: yes, I do |
| ‘t Was als de eerste keer | It was like the first time |
| Het klikte zomaar weer | We hit it off immediately |
| De tijd stond even stil | Time stood still for a moment |
| Ik dacht weer: ja, ik wil | I thought again: yes, I do |
| Wel wat | Want something |
| Waar spreken we af en zien we elkaar snel weer? | Where shall we meet and see each other again soon? |
| Kom, we pikken het weer op zoals de eerste keer | Come on, we’ll pick it up just like the first time |
| Whoa, yeah | Whoa, yeah |
| ‘t Was als de eerste keer | It was like the first time |
| Het klikte zomaar weer | We hit it off immediately |
| De tijd stond even stil | Time stood still for a moment |
| Ik dacht weer: ja, ik wil | I thought again: yes, I do |
| ‘t Was als de eerste keer | It was like the first time |
| Het klikte zomaar weer | We hit it off immediately |
| De tijd stond even stil | Time stood still for a moment |
| Ik dacht weer: ja, ik wil | I thought again: yes, I do |
| Zoals de eerste keer | Like the first time |
