I come from the countryside
_____
From the Veluwe and Twenterand
_____
Where people greet you warmly
_____
Where life can run a bit slower
_____
Want to go ditch-jumping later?
_____
Or bike on the dike with force-eight wind
_____
There's less to want or have to do here
_____
'cause more than enough grows on the land
_____
They can talk all they want in the big city
_____
I think it's lovely, lovely here
_____
Staring at the blue sky
_____
A swallow flies south
_____
Yet every year it comes back
_____
They can talk all they want in the big city
_____
I find it lovely, lovely here
_____
Building rafts and sailing together in the canal
_____
A calf at the neighbor's that's just learning to stand
_____
Hiding in the hayloft at the old farm
_____
A nest of kittens on a May afternoon
_____
Building huts in the woods
Running with your hair loose
_____
Peeing outside in the ditch under a thousand stars
_____
Climbing the tallest tree
_____
Till you can see the whole world
_____
When I'm sick of all the rush I come back here
_____
They can talk all they want in the big city
_____
I think it's lovely, lovely here
_____
They can talk all they want in the big city
_____
I think it's lovely, lovely here
_____
I'll just stay right here
I'll stay, it's lovely, lovely here
_____
I'll just stay right here
