Annetje Und Jan Hendrik

Annetje and Jan Hendrik where do you live you two
(We live in Rotterdam today and in Leiden tomorrow)
In the boat on the canals they are day in day out
The boat is their cradle and home and home'
(We are in the boat on the canals day in day out)
(The boat is our cradle and home and home')

Annetje and Jan Hendrik how do you two learn to count
(Father teaches us arithmetic in the boat on the canals)
Then they drive and glide through the green land
With cows on the sides and mills in the middle
(Then we drive and glide through the green land)
(With cows on the sides and mills in the middle)

Annetje and Jan Hendrik do you like such a life
(We travel all our lives and we like it that way)
They voluntarily travel through the country in a sailor-like manner
And when the bridges open, their journey continues
(We travel through the country of our own free will, like sailors)
(And when the bridges open, our journey continues)

La-la-la-la-la-la-la lala-lala-lala
La-la lala-lala-lala la-la lala-lala

(We voluntarily travel through the country in a sailor-like manner)
(And when the bridges open, our journey continues)
