Translation of the song lyrics Monsters Te Koop - Vof De Kunst, Barry Hay

Monsters Te Koop (original)

'Cause things always come and things always go
Surprised in a year, feeling I won’t be broke
'Cause things always come and things always go
It’s just like my mother, she told me so
The things I forgot, so just let them rest
And you’re still a child, you don’t know what’s best
And when it is dark, I will come to find you
Wait as you watch the water surround you
Monsters, they’re monsters, pretend to be friends
Monsters, they’re monsters, they hide in my bed
Monsters, those monsters, pretend to be friends
Monsters, those monsters, hide under my bed
And you are the cold when I am alone
I stop making sense of what isn’t there
And I am a garden in this fight
Please hold me close and don’t let me go
Monsters, they’re monsters, pretend to be friends
Monsters, they’re monsters, they hide in my bed
Monsters, those monsters, pretend to be friends
Monsters, those monsters, hide under my bed
Monsters, they’re monsters, don’t fuck with my head
Monsters, they’re monsters, they want to be fed
Monsters, those monsters, off with their heads

Monsters Te Koop (translation)

'Cause things always come and things always go
Surprised in a year, feeling I won't be broke
'Cause things always come and things always go
It's just like my mother, she told me so
The things I forgot, so just let them rest
And you're still a child, you don't know what's best
And when it is dark, I will come to find you
Wait as you watch the water surround you
Monsters, they're monsters, pretend to be friends
Monsters, they're monsters, they hide in my bed
Monsters, those monsters, pretend to be friends
Monsters, those monsters, hide under my bed
And you are the cold when I am alone
I stop making sense of what isn't there
And I am a garden in this fight
Please hold me close and don't let me go
Monsters, they're monsters, pretend to be friends
Monsters, they're monsters, they hide in my bed
Monsters, those monsters, pretend to be friends
Monsters, those monsters, hide under my bed
Monsters, they're monsters, don't fuck with my head
Monsters, they're monsters, they want to be fed
Monsters, those monsters, off with their heads
