Collaboration of The Dutchies Het is een nacht:

This is an english translation wich comes close, still hard to capture how it is in dutch, but it's something! ;)

You ask if I feel like a cigarette
- It's 2 in the mornin’, we're lying in the bed
- In a hotel, in a town, where we’re unknown
- Yeah we’re strangers here, so we’re left alone

- Empty bottle of wine lying on the floor
- Clothing that could be mine or be yours
- The sunset last night, with the radio low
- The night had everything, that a perfect night could hold

- It was a night, a night you’d expect see in movie scenes
- and it was a night, that words are writt’n about for people to sing
- It was a night I never thought I would ever get to see
- But last night we lived our dreams you and me

- I'm staring at the roof, still awake in the bed
- I think of that day when you and I met
- ‘twas easy, it just seemed so natural
- our journey began where it would end who could tell

- Now I'm lying here in a wild, strange town
- Just had the night of my life and I’m still coming down
- But alas, the dawn shines onto the walls
- Even though for us the world has stood still

- It was a night, a night you’d expect see in movie scenes
- and it was a night, that words are writt’n about for people to sing
- It was a night I never thought I would ever get to see
- But last night we lived our dreams you and me

- But a song’s just words and melody
- And movies are make believe
- But last night with you was reality

- It was a night, a night you’d expect see in movie scenes
- and it was a night, that words are writt’n about for people to sing
- It was a night I never thought I would ever get to see
- But last night we lived our dreams you and me

- It was a night, a night you’d expect see in movie scenes
- and it was a night, that words are writt’n about for people to sing
- It was a night I never thought I would ever get to see
- But last night we lived our dreams you and me

- Yes, last night we lived our dreams you and me
- And you’re still the only love for me
- And you’re still the only love for me

You guyz sound great, Willem you have pretty good stamina keeping up the singing so steady all the way through.

I believe this is the tune Willem recently posted about regarding translating lyrics, so I include the link to that thread
for us Dutch-challenged TGers.

That was GREAT to watch and I really enjoyed listening to it too. You looked like you had fun. I loved all the smiles and giggling. nice singing Willem.

When is some clever person going to invent a real beam me up Scottie transporter, so we can bama into each other's lounge rooms for an afternoon of playing, laughing, singing and general frivolity. Sydney is too far from the rest of the world. Geesh it's too far from Adeliaide even.

That was great.
