Doel-taal: Engels
The river is broad, the river is deep
You will not swim across it from the other shore
Low clouds are hiding the moonlight
I would fly, but I have no wings
In a damp wood an angry fire is boiling
A horse blacker than a night is standing by the fire
It is beating the hooves – looking for a rider
That horse has repudiated our shores
Chorus: Uninvited pain knocked at the house
Here is the love unrighteous
We shorten long nights
We, unloved, with unloved ones
Black water runs far
It brought away the oar and broke the raft
There were swallows – have become crows
They met early, understood late
The door is new – one will not tear the hinges
And only a trouble is making the bed for us
The river is broad, the echo is long
The horse blacker than a night is walking nearby
Chorus: Uninvited pain knocked at the house
Here is the love unrighteous
We shorten long nights
We, unloved, with unloved ones
The river is broad, the river is deep
You will not swim across it from the other shore
Low clouds are hiding the moonlight
I would fly, but I have no wings
In a damp wood an angry fire is boiling
A horse blacker than a night is standing by the fire
It is beating the hooves – looking for a rider
That horse has repudiated our shores
