Verse 1

Cars race through the street

A world that's moving too fast

And nobody pauses for it

My god

An iceberg tips into the sea

Ministers on TV

They blush, oh, it's not that bad

My god

Chorus 1

And the earth quakes

Wo-o-o-oh

And the earth quakes

Wo-o-o-oh

Seems like nobody knows

That you share this planet with everything that lives

Wo-o-o-oh

And the earth quakes

Wo-o-o-oh

And the earth quakes

Wo-o-o-oh

Seems like people forget

That you give this planet to your kids

Wo-o-o-oh

Verse 2

A tree a thousand years old

Gets chopped down in the woods

And traded for fool's gold

My god

Chorus 2

And the earth quakes

Wo-o-o-oh

And the earth quakes

Wo-o-o-oh

Seems like nobody knows

That you share this planet with everything that lives

Wo-o-o-oh

And the earth quakes

Wo-o-o-oh

And the earth quakes

Wo-o-o-oh

Seems like people forget

That you give this planet to your kids

Wo-o-o-oh

Verse 3

People often say kids are the future

But why does it stop there then

I want the world that's coming to me

Say no as loud as you can

Who's joining me

Chorus 3

And the earth quakes

Wo-o-o-oh

And the earth quakes

Wo-o-o-oh

Seems like nobody knows

That you share this planet with everything that lives

Wo-o-o-oh

And the earth quakes

Wo-o-o-oh

And the earth quakes

Wo-o-o-oh

Seems like people forget

That you give this planet to your kids

Wo-o-o-oh

Seems like people forget

That you give this planet to your kids

Wo-o-o-oh

Outro

Seems like people forget

That you give this planet to your kids

Say no as loud as you can

And put your hand in my hand

SONG MEANING

K3 turns up the pop volume to deliver a green alarm clock! "De Aarde Beeft" (The Earth Is Shaking) paints a fast-moving world where cars roar, icebergs topple, and politicians give nervous smiles while saying everything is fine. Through its catchy wo-o-o-oh hook, the trio shows how our planet literally trembles under the weight of human speed, waste, and indifference.

Yet this song is more than a list of problems; it is a colorful call to action. The chorus reminds us that we share the planet with all living things and that we will hand it over to our children. When K3 shouts "Zeg nee zo luid als je kan" (Say no as loud as you can), they invite every listener to raise their voice, join hands, and protect the Earth together. It is a hopeful anthem that turns environmental awareness into a dance-friendly promise: if we act now, the beat can keep going without the ground shaking beneath our feet.
