de zonsopkomst is
al net zo oranje als
de zonsondergang		 the rising sun
colors the sky as orange
as the setting sun

scheefgezakt oud hek
houdt vast aan zijn rol en scheidt
groen gras van groen gras		 faded, crooked old fence
holds on to its post. divides
green grass from green grass

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

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

golfbrekers dode
bomen houvast voor wieren
zitplaats voor vogels		 breakwaters dead trees
a foundation for seaweed
a grandstand for birds

aan dunne draadjes
zacht opgetild door de wind
vliegt hij naar de zon		 on thin nylon threads
lifted by a gentle wind
he flies to the sun

doen denken aan de doeken
van John Constable		 cloudscapes over sea
appear like the canvases

een zoen van de zon
en de klaprozen blozen
als jonge juffers		 a kiss from the sun
and the poppies start blushing
like little schoolgirls

Dorpje in het groen.
Hier leeft men, sterft men tussen
aardappelvelden.		 Small peaceful village.
Here one lives, one dies between
green potato fields.

Als een Jaques Brel lied
ligt mijn vlakke land klaar voor
weer een zomerdag		 Like a Jacques Brel song
my flat land spreads out for yet
another hot day
