Nonkel Dirk

Gisteren i min zuster voe den jiste kji sinds uoit
Eurne vrijer meegebrocht noa toezens tus
Vader was wa lastig en oes moeder was nerveus
Ze was te zessen ipgestoan voe de gruote kus
En 't ziet er hinnen slim ut moa ji wel sympathiek
En min zuster liek gelukkig, 't is tjinnige da telt voe mie

Nonkel dirk i homo jit een vruowe en een kind
Moa wie zegter dat azuo wok nie kan gan
'T is publiek geheim en z' in t nie deure noa dat skint
Voer oeznen dirk it oltit zuo gegaen
Moar ie slapt veel minder goed dan vroeger dat is dramatiek
Troage moa zeker takelt ie af, mentaal en fysiek

En de wirelt bluft moa draain en ti wel spittig dat o de verkjirde kant is lik dat er niet an de hand is
En de wirelt bluf wok drojn zonder oes

Anneke is 20 zi nog nuoit ne vrijer het
En 't begint meskien een bitje of te steken
Meiske is verzichtig en kan da wel goed verstoan
Ze stoan pertank te drieng in hjille reken

Moar oe langer dazze wacht oe moelijker dat is voe te behun
En ze peis ol af en toe ne kjir an een carriere bie de nun

Ik ik ben ne pipo en ti nieten nuoit nie wel
En ik wetet wok ollemolle nie mi
Kmoete nog van olles doen en nog vee mjir vertel
Ben an trachten voe hin vrieen tit mi tin

'S aves loate in min bedde bluvvek wakker voe skaapkes te tel
Ki hin goeste voe te slapen ki mjir goeste voe no ntwie te bel

Nonkel Dirk

Yesterday I saw my sister for the first time in ages
She brought her boyfriend to meet us
Dad was a bit awkward and Mom was nervous
She had gotten up at six for the big kiss
And he looks very handsome, though you're very nice
And my sister seems happy, that's all that matters to me

Uncle Dirk is gay and has a wife and child
But who says that can't work too
It's no secret and they're not hiding it from that child
It's always been that way for our Dirk
But he sleeps much less well than he used to, that's dramatic
Slowly but surely, he's declining, mentally and physically

And the world keeps turning and he complains that you're going the wrong way as if nothing's wrong
And the world will also dry up without us

Anneke is 20 she has never had a boyfriend
And it's starting to get to her a little
She's careful and I can understand that well
They're pushing each other too hard in their calculations

But the longer she waits, the harder it will be to start
And she's already thinking about a career as a nun

I am a joker and never really feel well
And I don't know you all that well either
I still have to do all sorts of things and tell you much more
I'm trying to free myself up for you

In the evening, I lie awake in my bed counting sheep
I have no desire to sleep I have more desire to call you again
