The topic is about music . Lyrics can be in any language so long as music is Dutch.

These are great songs. To my surprise, I couldn't find clips with proper video anywhere.

Dana Winner - Het is een wonder



Helena Hettema and Eugene Vermaak - Laatmiddagliedjie (I believe it's in Afrikaans)

Spoiler!

Daar sterf 'n kersvlam in sy eie was,
There smothers the flame of the candle in it’s own wax,
Daar brand 'n vuur en versmoor in sy as,
The burns a fire and chokes in its own ash,
Al brand jou lig nou sal hy ook vervlou,
Even if your light burns now, it will dim,
Elke bly fakkel verdwyn soos die dou.
Each happy torch fades like the dew.

Daar bedaar die wind nou en sag sterf die reën,
There the wind is quieting down and softly fades the rain,
Ook dit is na alles van êrens geleen
Even that, after all, was borrowed from somewhere
Kan jy die see sien sy wolke en blou
Can you see the sea, it clouds and blue
Elke bly brander breek tog so gou.
Each happy wave crashes so rapidly.

Chorus
Sal jy deur alles die wind van my keer
Will you thorough it all shun the wind from me
Laat skyn die somerson lou op my neer
Let the balmy summer sun shine down on you
Ek sal die stofpad vir ons albei vind
I will find the dirt road for both of us
Tot waar hy eendag een word met die wind.
Till where it one day becomes one with the wind.

Daar bedaar die wind nou en sag sterf die reën,
There the wind is quieting down and softly fades the rain,
Ook dit is na alles van êrens geleen
Even that, after all, was borrowed from somewhere
Kan jy die see sien sy wolke en blou
Can you see the sea, it coulds and blue
Elke bly brander breek tog so gou.
Each happy wave crashes so rapidly.

Chorus 2x

Haha. Old thread revived. The Lawspeaker was one prolific poster. Life got too real for him I guess. I wish him the best.

Song about the two Germanies during the Cold War.



Not the most catchy song, but as a history buff good lyrics.
