(Het Verdronken Land Van) Saeftinge Lyrics

Here one can hear the call of the sea
While a dead-white moonlight
Is creating the ultimate unlight
Or at night, or at night

O sad and beautiful night
Full of melancholy
When the silent dark waters
Are inviting the lonely souls

Of mourning lost ones
Like me
Like me
Of mourning lost ones
Like me
Like me

Here once I could hear the bell toll
Here once I led a life
My home was built
Before the cruel Water came

Maybe the dead fish washed on the shore
With their cold eyes have catched a
Glimp
A glimp

Of my forever lost village
Do I hear my ancestors call:
"Oh beautiful and cruel lost,
Forever lost"

Dark medieval times

Drowned land of saeftinge
Drowned land of saeftinge

Here once I could hear the bell toll,
Here once I
Had a life, my home was built

Here one can hear the call of the sea

Oh my drowned land
Mijn verdronken land van saeftinge

Saeftinge
Saeftinge
Saeftinge

Forever lost, forever lost
