Below, I translated the lyrics of the song In De Schuur by Snelle from Dutch to English.

Chorus 1

Iedereen is ergens diep van binnen toch geboren om te winnen

Everybody's, deep down, born to win

Kom op jongen, gooi eens olie op het vuur

Come on boy, throw some oil on the fire

Want ik ben ook van school verbannen

Cause I got kicked out of school too

Ik had ook geen plannen

I didn't have any plans either

Chorus 1

Ik was liedjes aan het schrijven in de schuur

I was writing songs out in the shed

Je bent het gezeik zat, dat komt van de zijkant

You're fed up with the bullsh*t that comes from the sidelines

Maar jij hebt zelf toch je handen aan het stuur

But you've got your own hands on the wheel

En kijk eens naar mij dan, ik doe wat jij kan

And look at me, I do what you can

Want ik was liedjes aan het schrijven in de schuur

Cause I was writing songs out in the shed

Verse 1

Kijk, luister

Look, listen

Ik was alleen maar daar

I was just there

Het kon alleen beter gaan met mij

It could only get better for me

Moest de oogst voor mezelf toen nog zaaien

I still had to sow the harvest for myself back then

Jongen, niets is wat het lijkt

Boy, nothing's what it seems

Geloof me, ik heb net als jij

Believe me, just like you I had

Ook de zeilen in de storm voordat het aan kwam waaien

My sails in the storm before it blew in

Verse 1

Zoals wij, in ons paradijs

Like us, in our paradise

Onbezonnen als wij konden worden, wat wijs

Reckless as we could get, how wise

En we worden dan rijk, dit in jouw paradijs

And then we'll be rich, there in your paradise

Misschien op z'n tijd, onbegonnen maar

Maybe in due time, still a lost cause though

Chorus 2

Iedereen is ergens diep van binnen toch geboren om te winnen

Everybody's, deep down, born to win

Kom op jongen gooi eens olie op het vuur

Come on boy, throw some oil on the fire

Want ik ben ook van school verbannen

Cause I got kicked out of school too

Ik had ook geen plannen

I didn't have any plans either

Chorus 2

Ik was liedjes aan het schrijven in de schuur

I was writing songs out in the shed

Je bent het gezeik zat, dat komt van de zijkant

You're fed up with the bullsh*t that comes from the sidelines

Maar jij hebt zelf toch je handen aan het stuur

But you've got your own hands on the wheel

En kijk eens naar mij dan, ik doe wat jij kan

And look at me, I do what you can

Want ik was liedjes aan het schrijven in de schuur

Cause I was writing songs out in the shed

Verse 2

Oke, ik schreef 4, 5 liedjes in de schuur, yeah

Okay, I wrote four, five songs in the shed, yeah

Deed het never nooit voor de money, nee ik was puur, yeah

Never ever did it for the money, nah I was pure, yeah

Kijk, ik had Boaz van de Beatz

Look, I had Boaz van de Beatz

Hij bracht die bam bam bam bam

He brought that bam bam bam bam

Verse 2

En daarna was heel mijn outfit opeens duur yeah

And after that my whole outfit was suddenly pricey, yeah

Zoals wij, in ons paradijs

Like us, in our paradise

Onbezonnen als wij konden worden, wat wijs

Reckless as we could get, how wise

En we worden dan rijk, dit in jouw paradijs

And then we'll be rich, there in your paradise

Misschien op z'n tijd, onbegonnen maar

Maybe in due time, still a lost cause though

Chorus 3

Iedereen is ergens diep van binnen toch geboren om te winnen

schuur — barn / shed

Schuur translates to "barn" or "shed". While seemingly simple, it's a central and evocative image in this song, representing a humble beginning and a place of creative solitude.

Snelle repeatedly sings about writing songs "in de schuur" (in the shed), highlighting his journey from an unknown artist working in an unassuming space to achieving success. It symbolizes authenticity, hard work, and the raw, unpolished origins of his music before fame and fortune. This makes it a memorable and inspiring word in the context of the song's narrative.

In De Schuur is an upbeat pep-talk from Dutch stars Snelle and Ronnie Flex that tells the classic bedroom-studio fairy-tale: two kids who get kicked out of school, retreat to a shabby shed, and turn raw passion into chart-topping success. The hook reminds us that everyone is born to win and that you, not the critics on the sidelines, hold the steering wheel. Their humble workspace, “the shed,” becomes a symbol of creativity, self-belief, and lighting a fire under your own dreams.

Snelle’s verses paint the early struggle: no plans, no money, just scribbling lyrics while friends doubt him. Ronnie Flex jumps in to show the glow-up—collaborating with producer Boaz van de Beatz, fresh outfits, and a new life that still keeps its roots. Together they spin a motivational anthem that mixes cheeky bragging with genuine encouragement: if they could turn shed sessions into stardom, you can fuel your own blaze and do the same.
