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
It's lovely, lovely here
Just lovely, lovely here
They can talk all they want in the big city
I think it's lovely, lovely here
We're lying on our backs
Staring at the blue sky
A swallow flies south
Yet every year it comes back
It's lovely, lovely here
Just lovely, lovely here
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
It's lovely, lovely here
Just lovely, lovely here
They can talk all they want in the big city
I think it's lovely, lovely here
It's lovely, lovely here
Just lovely, lovely here
They can talk all they want in the big city
I think it's lovely, lovely here
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

SONG MEANING

“Mooi Hier” is Trinity’s sunny love-letter to life outside the hustle of the big city. With playful Dutch imagery, the Jamaican singer paints a picture of wide fields in the Veluwe and Twenterand where time slows down, neighbours greet you, and there is always something green growing. From jumping over ditches and cycling against a strong headwind to lying on your back cloud-watching, each line celebrates the freedom, friendship, and innocence found in nature.

At its heart, the song is a joyful reminder that happiness often hides in the simplest moments: building rafts, climbing trees, or watching swallows return every year. While “they” in the city might chase what is new and loud, Trinity proudly repeats “het is mooi hier” – “it is beautiful here.” She invites listeners to breathe, unplug, and rediscover childlike wonder in the countryside, proving that sometimes the most magical place is the familiar patch of earth we call home.
