• Translation

Europe, let's come together (Euro-pa-pa, Euro-pa-pa)
It's now or never
I love you all (Euro-pa-pa, Euro-pa-pa)

Welkom in Europa, blijf hier tot ik dood ga
Euro-pa-pa, Euro-pa-pa
Welkom in Europa, blijf hier tot ik dood ga
Euro-pa-pa, Euro-pa-pa

Bezoek m'n friends in France of neem de benen naar Wenen
Ik wil weg uit Netherlands maar m'n paspoort is verdwenen
Heb gelukkig geen visum nodig om bij je te zijn
Dus neem de bus naar Polen of de trein naar Berlijn
Ik heb geen geld voor Paris, dus gebruik m'n fantasie
Heb je een еuro'tje, please? Zеg, "merci" en "alsjeblieft"
Ik ben echt alles kwijt, behalve de tijd
Dus ben elke dag op reis want de wereld is van mij

Welkom in Europa, blijf hier tot ik dood ga
Euro-pa-pa, Euro-pa-pa
Welkom in Europa, blijf hier tot ik dood ga
Euro-pa-pa, Euro-pa-pa

Euro-pa-pa, pa-pa, pa-pa-pa
Euro-pa-pa-pa (Hey)
Euro-pa-pa, pa-pa, pa-pa-pa
Europa (Hey)

Ich bin in Deutschland, aber ich bin so allein
Io sono in Italia, maar toch doet het pijn
Ben aan het vluchten van mezelf, roep de hele dag om help
Ja, ik geef zelfs mensen geld, maar d'r is niemand die me helpt
Ik hoef geen es-car-gots, hoef geen fish 'n chips
Hoef geen paella, no, ik weet niet eens echt wat dat is
Zet de radio aan, ik hoor Stromae met "Papaoutai"
Zal niet stoppen tot ze zeggen: "Ja, ja, dat doet 'ie goed, ey"

Welkom in Europa, blijf hier tot ik dood ga
Europapa, Europapa
Welkom in Europa, blijf hier tot ik dood ga
Europapa, Europapa

Euro-pa-pa, pa-pa, pa-pa-pa
Euro-pa-pa-pa (Hey)
Euro-pa-pa, pa-pa, pa-pa-pa
Europa (Hey)

Europa, pa-pa-pa-pa-pa, pa-pa-pa-pa-pa
-pa-pa-pa, -pa-pa-pa-pa-pa
-pa-pa-pa, -pa-pa-pa-pa-pa
-pa-pa-pa, -pa-pa-pa-pa-pa
-pa-pa-pa, -pa-pa-pa-pa-pa
-pa-pa-pa, -pa-pa-pa-pa-pa
Welkom in Europa, jongen!

(Hey)
Eu-ro-pa

Europe, let's come together!
(Euro-pa-pa, Euro-pa-pa)
It's now or never!
I love you all!
(Euro-pa-pa, Euro-pa-pa)

Welcome to Europa
Stay here until I go dead
Euro-pa-pa, Euro-pa-pa
Welcome to Europa
Stay here until I go dead
Euro-pa-pa, Euro-pa-pa

Visit my friends in France or take the legs to Vienna
I want go out of the Netherlands, but my passport has disappeared
Don't need a visa to be with you
So take the bus to Poland or the train to Berlin
I have no money for Paris, so I use my fantasy
Do you have an euro, please? Say, "Merci" and "Alsjeblieft"
I've really lost everything, except time
So am travelling every day because the world is mine

Welcome to Europa
Stay here until I go dead
Europapa, Europapa
Welcome to Europa
Stay here until I go dead
Europapa, Europapa
Europapa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa
Europapa-pa
(Hey)
Europapa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa
Eu-ro-pa!
(Hey)

I'm in Germany, but I'm so alone
Io sono in Italia, still it hurts
I'm flying from myself
Shouting, "Help" all day long
Yeah, I give people money, but there is no one that helps me
I don't need es-car-gots, I don't need fish and chips
Don't need paella, no
I don't really know what that is
Put on the radio, I hear Stromae with "Papaoutai"
Will not stop until they say, "Yeah, yeah, he does that well, ey"

Welcome to Europa
Stay here until I go dead
Europapa, Europapa
Welcome to Europa
Stay here until I go dead
Europapa, Europapa
Europapa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa
Europapa-pa
(Hey)
Europapa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa
Eu-ro-pa!
(Hey)

Euro-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa
Welcome to Europe, boy!

(Hey)
Eu-ro-pa
