| Verzonnen Man (original) | Verzonnen Man (translation) |
|---|---|
| Kijken wie er wint | See who wins |
| De wekker of het bed | The alarm clock or the bed |
| De jaartelling begint | The era begins |
| Droomde hij nog net | Was he just dreaming |
| Van gaten in de markt | From holes in the market |
| Van mazen in de wet, daarnet | Of loopholes in the law, just now |
| Als de dag weer begon | When the day started again |
| Voor de man die zichzelf ooit verzon | For the man who once made himself up |
| Hoera! | Hurrah! |
| De band gaat spelen | The band is going to play |
| Het licht gaat aan | The light turns on |
| Applaus! | Applause! |
| Doek gaat open | Cloth opens |
| Publiek gaat staan | Audience stands up |
| Opeens | Suddenly |
| Was er niks meer | Was there nothing more |
| Wat hij niet kon | What he couldn't |
| De man die zich verzon | The man who made himself up |
| Gaat ie stap voor stap | Goes ie step by step |
| Van de kranten op de trap | From the papers on the stairs |
| d krenten in de pap | d curren in the porridge |
| Ton hij alles won | Ton he won everything |
| Gezegend was de dag | Blessed was the day |
| Dat de man zichzelf verzon | That the man made up himself |
| Geen vrouw in de stad | No woman in the city |
| Die dan niet 's nachts op hem wacht | Who doesn't wait for him at night |
| Hoera! | Hurrah! |
| De band gaat spelen | The band is going to play |
| Het licht gaat aan | The light turns on |
| Applaus! | Applause! |
| Doek gaat open | Cloth opens |
| Publiek gaat staan | Audience stands up |
| Opeens | Suddenly |
| Was er niks meer | Was there nothing more |
| Wat hij niet kon | What he couldn't |
| De man die zich verzon | The man who made himself up |
| De man die zich verzon | The man who made himself up |
| Iedere avond is | Every night is |
| Hij verdoofd | He sedated |
| Door sterrenlicht | By starlight |
| De paus en de premier | The Pope and the Prime Minister |
| Iedereen zingt mee | Everyone sings along |
| Hoera! | Hurrah! |
| De band gaat spelen | The band is going to play |
| Het licht gaat aan | The light turns on |
| Applaus! | Applause! |
| Doek gaat open | Cloth opens |
| Publiek gaat staan | Audience stands up |
| Opeens | Suddenly |
| Was er niks meer | Was there nothing more |
| Wat hij niet kon | What he couldn't |
| De man die zich verzon | The man who made himself up |
