in de zoute wind
hoog op de duinenrij bloeit
de roze duinroos		 in the salty wind
high on the ridge of the dunes
blooms the pink dune rose

gaven het startsein		 the fondle season
has just begun. turtledoves
launched the starting shot

O, een paard te zijn
in de ochtendnevelzon
zomaar wat grazen		 Oh, to be a horse
just existing, grazing in
the morningmistsun

zie de zee zo wijd
zie de lucht zo hoog en stil
zie die ene meeuw		 see the water wide
see the sky so high and still
see that one seagull

aan de waterkant
zoekt een meerkoet naar voedsel
of zoekt hij zichzelf?		 at the waterside
is a coot looking for food
or but for itself?

glinsterend pad klimt
naar de top van het duin er
hangt zout in de lucht		 glittering path climbs
to the top of the dunes there
is salt in the air

natte winkelstraat
troosteloos. geen mens, of toch
een man met een hond		 rained out shopping street
desolate. no one, or yet
a man with a dog

even de sky lights up with
a festive lightshow

a foundation for seaweed
a grandstand for birds
