lyrics

Frysian lyrics and English translation:

REIN

De flakte makket ús grut

kinst har grutskens ferlykje mei de seefûgel
dy’t sûnder omsjen swalket

nacht wurdt it oeral

en ast de feart folgje soest
silst fansels de rein moetsje
earst stadich miskien
letter machtleas

oer rûngeare beammen skean boppe in hikke
in wifeljende dyk
gers dat gûnzet

RAIN

The plain makes us great

you can compare her to a seabird
that wanders without looking back

night will fall everywhere

and were you to follow the stream
you would meet the rain along the way
perhaps with care at first
later helplessly

across round-worn trees inclined above a fence
a wavering dike
grass that heaves
