the Supreme Supreme Being --
holds me night and day.
Jubel jubelee,	Jubel Jubelee,
het Allerhoogste Hoogste --	der Allerhöchste Höchste --
draagt mij dag en nacht.	trägt mich Tag und Nacht.

With a gentle urge
the drums of love are beating --
open all my doors.
Met zachte drang slaan	Trommeln der Liebe
de trommels van de liefde --	schlagen mit sehr sanften Drang --
mijn deuren open.	meine Türen auf.

We go out and dance
swinging through the metro car --
dance into the night.
We gaan uit, dansen	Wir gehen raus und
swingend door de treinwagon --	tanzen schwingend durch den Zug --
dansen de nacht in.	tanzen in die Nacht.
