Een noeste arbeid ruige stad textiel en industrie
A hard-working, rugged city of textiles and industry
In één adem noem je dat ik
In the same breath you call that me
Kwam en bleef en zie
Came and stayed and behold
Je schoonheid zit van binnen
Your beauty comes from within
In de mensen in het rauwe
In the people in the raw
En beter werd het met de
And it got better with the
Tijd ik ben er van gaan houden
Time I've come to love it
En we blijven bij elkaar door dik en dun
And we stick together through thick and thin
Door dun en dik Tilburg en ik
Through thin and thick Tilburg and I
Ik moet eerlijk bekennen ik dacht
I have to be honest, I thought
Tilburg ach heel even
Tilburg oh just for a moment
Maar m'n mooiste jaren pakte je
But you took my best years
En zoveel terug gegeven
And gave so much back
M'n kinderen hier geboren omarmd door de stad
My children were born here and embraced by the city
Het klinkt sentimenteel maar hé soms heb ik dat
It sounds sentimental, but hey, sometimes I have that
En we blijven bij elkaar door dik en dun
And we stick together through thick and thin
Door dun en dik Tilburg en ik
Through thin and thick Tilburg and I
En we blijven bij elkaar door dik en dun
And we stick together through thick and thin
Door dun en dik Tilburg en ik
Through thin and thick Tilburg and I
En toen ik je echt
And when I really got to you
Nodig had mocht ik me verstoppen
I needed to hide
En in het hart van deze stad
And in the heart of this city
Ik kon het voelen kloppen
I could feel it throbbing
Want je schoonheid zit van binnen in
Because your beauty comes from within
De mensen in het rauwe
The people in the raw
En beter werd het met de
And it got better with the
Tijd ik ben van je gaan houden
Time I started to love you
En we blijven bij elkaar door dik en dun
And we stick together through thick and thin
Door dun en dik Tilburg en ik
Through thin and thick Tilburg and I
En we blijven bij elkaar door dik en dun
And we stick together through thick and thin
Door dun en dik Tilburg en ik
Through thin and thick Tilburg and I
En we blijven bij elkaar door dik en dun
And we stick together through thick and thin
Door dun en dik Tilburg en ik
Through thin and thick Tilburg and I
Einde
