Jannes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Maar dat bleek één groot spel, want ik had jou door
Jij speelt vanaf vandaag, niet meer met mijn leven
Daar heb jij je eigen vriendjes voor
Refrein:
Laat me
Ik zeg nog één keer... toe laat me
Tellen nu niet meer voor mij
Laat me
Ik zeg nog één keer... toe laat me
Wat zo mooi leek is nu over en voorbij
Oheho (koor)
....jij hoeft mij niets meer uit te leggen
Oheho (koor)
....ik heb 't echt met jou gehad
Nu toon jij je verdriet, maar dat is maar even
Tranen die ik nu zie, die laten me koud
Alles wat ik bezat, heb ik jou gegeven
Maar ik heb je veel te lang vertrouwd
Refrein
Oheho (koor)
....jij hoeft mij niets meer uit te leggen
Oheho (koor)
....ik heb 't echt met jou gehad
Refrein
The lyrics of Jannes's song Laat me describe a situation where the singer is expressing his frustration towards his partner who had taken advantage of him. The singer mentions that his partner had requested a chance from him, which he had provided, but it turned out to be a game. He now looks back and feels that he had seen through their partner's intentions all along. The partner is no longer allowed to play with their life because they have their own friends for that. The refrain talks about how the lies and words of the partner no longer count for the singer, and he asks them to let him go.
The second verse talks about how the partner is now showing sadness, but the singer is cold towards it. He had given everything he had to the partner but trusted them for too long. The final refrain repeats the same message of letting go and emphasizes that the singer no longer needs an explanation from the partner.
The song's lyrics talk about the end of a relationship where the singer is frustrated and wants to move on. It is clear that the partner had been deceiving the singer, and the trust has been broken. The song's melody is upbeat, which irony highlights the serious nature of the lyrics.

Jij vroeg mij om 'n kans, die heb ik je gegeven
You asked me for a chance, and I gave it to you
Maar dat bleek één groot spel, want ik had jou door
But it turned out to be a big game, because I saw through you
Jij speelt vanaf vandaag, niet meer met mijn leven
From today on, you won't be playing with my life anymore
Daar heb jij je eigen vriendjes voor
You have your own buddies for that
Laat me
Let me go
Ik zeg nog één keer... toe laat me
I am asking you once more, please let me go
Al jouw leugens, al jouw woorden
All your lies, all your words
Tellen nu niet meer voor mij
They don't count for me anymore

What seemed so beautiful is now over and done with

....jij hoeft mij niets meer uit te leggen
...you don't have to explain anything to me anymore
....ik heb 't echt met jou gehad
...I'm really done with you
Nu toon jij je verdriet, maar dat is maar even
Now you show your sorrow, but it's only temporary
Tranen die ik nu zie, die laten me koud
I'm indifferent to the tears I see now
Alles wat ik bezat, heb ik jou gegeven
I gave you everything I had
Maar ik heb je veel te lang vertrouwd
But I trusted you for far too long
