Zomar Un Dag
Jong Telènt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Un vlag, un kiel, un meins, zun ziel.
Un straot, un kroeg, 't wordt laot of vroeg.
Meziek, gedans, soms hedde sjans.
Zo simpel ken ut zijn! Want 't is...
Zomar un dag, mar un dag om van te houwe.
Zomar un dag, om in kieltje rond te sjouwe.
Zomar un dag, om un hil jaor op te bouwe.
2:
De preins, un lied, un lach, verdriet.
Tocht in- of op, tent op zun kop.
Gehos, gezang, drie daoge lang.
Zo simpel moet ut zijn! Want 't is...
Zomar un dag, mar un dag om van te houwe.
Zomar un dag, om in kieltje rond te sjouwe.
Zomar un dag, om un hil jaor op te bouwe.
En op die dag! Rolt un traon en un lach, mar dè mag!!
Zo mar un dag, mar nie as un ander, gij zult dè snappen als ik oe vertel.
Hoe ik in boerenkiel mee staoi te zingen, "De Rue de la Pipe" gift me kiepenvel.
Dit vuult veul beter as andere daoge, dus hop in ut feest van de liefde en gein.
Trots zulde dan oewen driekleur weer draoge, un lèkker gevuul onder ons te zijn.
Saome dele, en één das te draoge. Gin masker, gin crisis, gin druk en gin sleur.
Lekker van èèn vinger lang te genieten: ik volg de raod van de "Keukendeur".
Geniet van wet de revue gaot passeren en pak die momenten kom over de brug.
Drie daoge lang om un jaor op te teren.
Dit is Oeteldonk: Nul drieënzeventig!!!
Zomar un dag, mar un dag om van te houwe.
Zomar un dag, om in kieltje rond te sjouwe.
Zomar un dag, om un hil jaor op te bouwe.
En op die dag! Rolt un traon en un lach, mar dè mag!!
