Waar was jij? [English translation]

It's been quite a while now

I'm no longer the little girl I used to be

Haven't been expecting anymore from you

I know it couldn't be avoided

And you went your own way

By casual calls you remained faithful

I still kept hoping though you would return to us

To resume your duties, but that illusion went by

That's why the question arises with me, O ...

Where have you been all the time?

Where were you when I needed you

Where were you for me?

Where were you? I missed you so many times

Did you perhaps lead a double life?

Did your duty make you unhappy?

Was there too much pressure, couldn't you cope?

I had to accept it

To get on, to learn that

That's the way love can take a turn

It's been a fact for me all the time

That everything's better than strife, you say it's in the past

But still that question keeps coming up to me

Where have you been all the time?

Where were you when I needed you

Where were you for me?

Where were you? I missed you so many times

I know that those years have gone

Even though you didn't really take care of me

Yet I'm a strong woman now

Able to manage without you

I missed you at the time

I was still a 'little girl'

Also in need of love from you

Where have you been all the time?

Where were you when I needed you

Where were you for me?

Where were you? I missed you so many times
