Time flies. One year ago, I met some people in Canberra who showed me the local lightlife. On my own, I would never have found out about places like King O’Malley’s, Wig & Pen or Nightclub Babylon.
Further on, those people learned me to eat fries with gravy (got addicted to that stuff, actually) and offered me a lift to Sydney, which I gladly accepted.

This lead to one of the weirdest experiences I’ve had in Australia. November 29, 2003. Before we even left Canberra, I heard a song playing on the car-stereo. A song I recognised immidiately, and one of the last songs I would expect to hear at this place and this time. I heard the song ‘Zij’, performed bij Marco Borsato.
Seeing my confused reaction, the Nepalese girl sitting in the back seat (don’t remember her name, but I do remember she’s gorgeous) told me they liked and played this song a lot, even though they couldn’t understand what it was about.
I told this was a song by a dutch/Italian artist, who’s married to the girl who used to turn over the letters in the dutch version of ‘Wheel of fortune’ (although I mixed it up with ‘Price is Right’), and that I could manage to translate the lyrics.
For some reason, I kept postponing. Untill now. Exactly one year later.

The not extremely accurate translation can be found here.
