Once we watched a lazy world go by
Now the days seem to fly
Life is brief, but when it's gone
Love goes on and on
Now the days seem to fly
Life is brief, but when it's gone

Daawww. Also, yay for Robin Hood.
The Dutch translation of that song is weird....
Green
Didn't love used to be as green as grass?
Love seemed to be made for two
You knew for sure she was eternal
I participated in your dreams
Much is changing now that we're older
People age like wine
Love stays like she was
Green, as green as grass
Love stays
Love lasts
Love stays like she was
Much is changing no that we're older
People age like wine
Love stays like she was
Green, as green as grass.
How do you get from the original song to that? >_<.

That is very different. I actually like it. A lot of "green"-ness, that sounds a bit unusual to my english-speaking ears. Maybe it doesn't sound strange in Dutch.
Interesting how the Dutch version softens the line "life is brief, but when it's gone". It is the the crux of the song. I love it, but sometimes it feels too poignant.

The green part makes no sense to us. Or at least not to me. Comparing love to grass and/or the colour green is weird. It's the weirdest part of the translation. Love stays like she was is a weird line as well. You sorta get what they are going for with that line (something along the lines of love will always be the same or love will always be love), but its just a very weird way to say it.
