Moeder Lieve Moeder

Zeune lieve zeune
Oeddet voer un eigen
U vader goat ier nimmi lange zin
Wil je daaran peizen

Moeders woorden kwam art an
Oe kan kik nu verzwiegen
Dat de liefde van min leevn
Nen vint is

En 18 eum vuo dat oes vader noa den emel ging

Moeder lieve moeder
Worom zoek moeten liegen
Vader gao mie wel verstoan
Ik wil em nie bedriegen

Danny is zuo goe voe mie
Danny goa mie redden
Kljinkinders goan der nie vankom
Moa mak et toch niet zeggen?

Dat danni en ik oes tristig leven zoen wil tuope doen
Wil je 't nie weten, mag 'k et niet zeggen

Wil je nuoit vergeten

In minnen tid was dat o zuo gemakkelijk niet
U moeder kwam geweun
Ip 't juste moment

'T mocht niet zin

Mother Dearest

Sweet girl, my sweet girl
You're old enough to think for yourself
Your father won't be here much longer
I want you to think about that

Your mother's words hit me hard
How can I keep quiet now
That the love of my life
Is a man

And 18 years since our father went to heaven

Mother dearest
Why must we lie
Father would understand
I don't want to deceive him

Danny is so good to me
Danny will save me
There will be no grandchildren
But why can't you say it

That Danny and I want to spend our sad lives together
Do you not want to know, may I not say it

Father dearest
I must confess to you both
I'm struggling a bit
But I can't lie

Be quiet my dear boy
I've always known
I've kept it a secret for so long
Never forget

In my time, it wasn't so easy
Your mother simply came
At just the right moment

It wasn't meant to be
