The Baseballs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Het is twee uur s'nachts we liggen op bed
In een hotel, in een stad
Waar niemand ons hoort
Waar niemand ons kent en niemand ons stoort
Op de vloer, ligt een lege fles wijn
En kledingstukken die van jou of mij kunnen zijn
De schemering, de radio zacht
This is a night (A night)
Something out of a movie from Hollywood (Hollywood)
This is a night (A night)
Like your favourite song, makes you feel so good (Feel so good)
This amazing night, I will remember until my time is true
Because I got to spend this night with you, ohohw
Well it's five o'clock, we share another sigaret
We're talking about a night that we will never forget
No destination, we went for a ride
Somewhere to run, some place to hide
And really soon, it's all over too fast
We're going back to nothing, so we are making it last
Ohw baby, why does it have to end
I hold you clo-se, I'm gonna love you once agai-n
(live performance: please let me hold you once ag-ain)
Het is een nacht (A night)
Die je normaal alleen in films ziet (Hollywood)
Het is een nacht (A night)
Die wordt bezongen in het mooiste lied (Feels so good)
Het is een nacht, waarvan ik dacht dat ik hem, nooit beleven zou
Maar vanacht beleef ik hem met jou ohohohw
What a night (What a night)
Ohw yeah (Ohw yeah)
What a ni-ght
Well it's the very first one together, I really had a wonderful time
Tell me all of your nights, will be mi-ne
This is a night, something out of a movie from Hollywood
This is a night, like your favourite song
Makes you feel so good (Feel so good)
This amazing night, I will remember until my time is true
Because I got to spend this night with you, ohyeah
Because I got to spend this night with you, allright
Because I got to spend this night with you, all night
Because I got to spend this night with you
The lyrics of The Baseballs' song "This Is A Night" depict a romantic and memorable night shared between two individuals. The song begins with the singer being asked if they want a cigarette while lying in bed at 2 o'clock in the morning in a hotel room where no one knows or disturbs them. The scene is set with an empty bottle of wine on the floor and clothes that could belong to either of them. The atmosphere is highlighted by the soft radio playing in the background, creating a perfect night that exceeded the singer's expectations.
The chorus emphasizes the extraordinary nature of this night, comparing it to something straight out of a Hollywood movie or a favorite song that brings immense joy. The singer expresses their gratitude for experiencing this incredible night, vowing to remember it until their time is true. The next verse adds to the story, as it reaches 5 o'clock and they share another cigarette while discussing their unforgettable night. They realize that there is no specific destination, but that they went on a ride together, seeking somewhere to run and hide. However, the night seems to end too quickly, and they are both saddened that it has to come to a close. The singer holds their partner close, promising to love them once again.
The Dutch lyrics by Guus Meeuwis describe a similar sentiment, emphasizing the rarity of a night like this, typically only seen in movies or sung about in beautiful songs. The singer expresses their disbelief that they are actually experiencing this enchanting night with their partner.
Overall, "This Is A Night" conveys the joy, excitement, and appreciation felt in sharing a truly remarkable night with someone special, and the desire to make it last forever.

We're going back to nothing, so we are making it last
We're returning to nothing, so we make the most of it
