Eurovision 2014 Netherlands:
The Common Linnets - "Calm After The Storm"
Calm After The Storm
Driving in the fast lane
Counting mile marker signs
The empty seat beside me
Keeps you on my mind
Livin' in the heartache
Was never something I pursued
I can't keep on chasing
What I can't be for you
Oooohhhh skies are black and blue
I'm thinking about you
Here in the calm after the storm
Tears on the highway
Water in my eyes
This rain ain't gonna change us
So what's the use to cry
I could say I'm sorry
But I don't wanna lie
I just wanna know if staying
Is better than goodbye
Oooohhhh skies are black and blue
I'm thinking about you
Here in the calm after the storm
Oooooohh after all that we've been through
(baby) there ain't nothing new
Here in the calm after the storm
Maybe I can find you
Down this broken line
Maybe you can find me
Guess we'll know in time
Oooohhhh skies are black and blue
I'm thinking about you
Here in the calm after the storm
There ain't nothing new
Here in the calm аfter the ѕtorm
Зацішша Пасля Шторму
Рух па хуткаснай паласе
Знакі для падліку міль
Пустое месца ззаду мяне
Трымаю цябе ў розуме
Жыццё ў сэрцавым болю
Ніколі не было чымсьці пераследуемым
Я не магу гнацца далей
За тым, чым не магу быць для цябе
Уух, нябёсы чорна-сінія
Я думаю пра цябе
Тут, у зацішшы пасля шторму
Слёзы на шашы
Вада ў маіх вачах
Дождж не зменіць нас
Дык які сэнс плакаць?
Я мог бы сказаць «мне шкада»
Але я не хачу хлусіць
Я проста хачу ведаць: ці застацца
Лепш, чым сказаць «бывай»
Уух, нябёсы чорна-сінія
Я думаю пра цябе
Тут, у зацішшы пасля шторму
Уух, пасля ўсяго, праз што мы прайшлі
(Дзетка) Няма нічога новага
Тут, у зацішшы пасля дажджу
Можа, я знайду цябе
Знізу гэтай зламанай паласы
Можа, ты знойдзеш мяне
Думаю, з часам мы даведаемся
Уух, нябёсы чорна-сінія
Я думаю пра цябе
Тут, у зацішшы пасля шторму
Няма нічога новага
Тут, у зацішшы пасля дажджу
Zatišje poslije oluje
Vožnja u brzoj traci
Brojenje kilometara
Prazno sjedište pored mene
Drži te u mojim mislima
Život u bolu srca
Nikada nije bilo nešto čemu sam težio
Ne mogu nastaviti juriti
Ono što ne mogu biti za tebe
Oooohhhh nebesa su crna i plava
Mislim na tebe
Ovdje u zatišju poslije oluje
Suze na autoputu
Voda u mojim očima
Ova kiša nas neće promijeniti
Pa čemu onda plakati
Mogao bih reći da mi je žao
Ali ne želim lagati
Samo želim znati je li ostanak
Bolje od zbogom
Oooohhhh nebesa su crna i plava
Mislim na tebe
Ovdje u zatišju poslije oluje
Oooooohhh nakon svega što smo prošli
(dušo) nema ništa novo
Ovdje u zatišju poslije oluje
Možda te mogu pronaći
Niz ovu isprekidanu liniju
Možda me možeš pronaći
Pretpostavljam da ćemo znati na vrijeme
Oooohhhh nebesa su crna i plava
Mislim na tebe
Ovdje u zatišju poslije oluje
Nema ništa novo
Ovdje u zаtišju poѕlije oluje
Rust Na De Storm
Rijden op de fast lane
Tellen van de kilometer markers
De lege stoel naast mij
Laat me steeds aan je denken
Leven in verdriet
Is nooit iets geweest waar ik naar op zoek was
Ik kan niet blijven achtervolgen
Wat ik niet voor jou kan zijn
Oooohhhh de hemel is zwart en blauw
Ik denk aan jou
Hier in de rust na de storm
Tranen op de snelweg
Water in mijn ogen
Deze regen zal ons niet veranderen
Wat is het nut van huilen
Ik kan mijn spijt uiten
Maar Ik wil niet liegen
Ik wil alleen weten of ik blijf
Beter dan een afscheid
Oooohhhh de hemel is zwart en blauw
Ik denk aan jou
Hier in de rust na de storm
Oooooooohh na alles wat we hebben meegemaakt
(Mijn liefde) er is niets nieuws
Hier in de rust na de storm
Misschien kan ik je vinden
Aan het einde van deze stippellijn
Misschien kun je me vinden
We zullen het op een dag ontdekken
Oooohhhh de hemel is zwart en blauw
Ik denk aan jou
Hier in de rust na de storm
Er is niets nieuws
Hier in de rust nа de ѕtorm
Calme après la tempête
Roulant sur la voie rapide
Comptant les bornes kilométriques
Ce siège vide à côté de moi
Me fait sans cesse penser à toi
Vivre dans le chagrin
N'a jamais été quelque chose que j'ai recherché
Je ne peux pas continuer à courir après
Ce que je ne peux pas être pour toi
Oooohhhh le ciel est noir et bleu
Je pense à toi
Ici dans le calme après la tempête
Des larmes sur l'autoroute
De l'eau dans mes yeux
Cette pluie ne va pas nous changer
A quoi ça sert de pleurer
Je pourrais faire part de mon regret
Mais je ne veux pas mentir
Je veux seulement savoir si rester
Est mieux qu'un adieu
Oooohhhh le ciel est noir et bleu
Je pense à toi
Ici dans le calme après la tempête
Oooooooohh après tout ce que nous avons traversé
(Mon amour) il n'y a rien de nouveau
Ici dans le calme après la tempête
Je peux peut-être te trouver
Au bout de cette ligne en pointillée
Tu peux peut-être me trouver
Nous le saurons un jour
Oooohhhh le ciel est noir et bleu
Je pense à toi
Ici dans le calme après la tempête
Il n'y a rien de nouveau
Ici dans le calme aprèѕ lа tempête
