In de Loopgraaf

IN DE LOOPGRAAF
In de loopgraaf
Hoe kan ik dansen in 4/4?
Hoe kan ik dansen in de smalle grachten?
Het is zo stil vannacht
De maan is rond en vol
Ik wil
Ik wil dansen
Maar hoe kan ik dansen in de smalle grachten?
De kameraden zijn moe tot in hun botten
De kameraden hebben jenever en een accordeon
Ze manillen
Met de botten verzonken in de modder
Ik wil dansen in 4/4
In mijn smalle gracht
Niet in mijn abri
Nee, in de vrije nacht
Ik wil dansem, nog met de laatste sterren
Dageraad brengt salvo′s en granaten
Daartussen
Onverstoord door het gebulder
Roept een koekoek
Hoe kan ik dansen?
Hoe kan ik dansen in 4/4?
In mijn veel te smal graf
IN THE TRENCHES
In the trenches
How can I dance in 4/4?
How can I dance in the narrow canals?
It is so quiet tonight
The moon is round and full
I want
I want to dance
But how can I dance in the narrow canals?
The comrades are tired to the bone
The comrades have genever and an accordion
They play manille
With their boots sunk deep in the mud
I want to dance in 4/4
In my narrow canal
Not in my dugout
No, in the open air
I want to dance with the last stars
Daybreak brings machine gun fire and grenades
And in between
Undisturbed by the endless roar
A cuckoo calls
How can I dance?
How can I dance in 4/4?
In my grave that is way too narrow

In the trench

IN THE TRENCH
In the trench
How can I dance in 4/4?
How can I dance in the narrow canals?
It's so quiet tonight
The moon is round and full
I want
I want to dance
But how can I dance in the narrow canals?
The comrades are tired to their bones
The comrades have gin and an accordion
Ze manillen
With the bones sunk in the mud
I want to dance in 4/4
In my narrow canal
Not in my abri
No, in the night off
I want to dance, still with the last Stars
Dawn brings volleys and grenades
In between
Undisturbed by the noise
Calls a cuckoo
How can I dance?
How can I dance in 4/4?
In mijn veel te smal graf
IN THE TRENCHES
In the trenches
How can I dance in 4/4?
How can I dance in the narrow canals?
It is so quiet tonight
The moon is round and full
I want
I want to dance
But how can I dance in the narrow canals?
The comrades are tired to the bone
The comrades have genever and an accordion
They play manille
With their boots sunk deep in the mud
I want to dance in 4/4
In my narrow canal
Not in my dugout
No, in the open air
I want to dance with the last stars
Daybreak brings machine gun fire and grenades
And in between
Undisturbed by the endless roar
A cuckoo calls
How can I dance?
How can I dance in 4/4?
In my grave that is way too narrow
