een klomp met een zeiltje...

old song

translated into english...

A clog with a sail
A ditch so small
A kid that later
Once wanted to be a sailor
A clog with a stirrer
And he the captain
That kid that later
Once wanted to be a sailor

He had built a ship from a clog himself
Very beautiful because he was only small
A sail, a rudder, a sailor of wood
A boat to be proud of
And behind the house in a very small ditch
There he christened his little ship

A clog with a sail
A ditch so small
A kid that later
Once wanted to be a sailor
A clog with a stirrer
And he the captain
That kid that later
Once wanted to be a sailor

And later he really went to sea as a sailor
Because he still liked sailing
He took the clog with the sail with him
And stood every journey in his cage
After years he became captain of a barge
What he used to dream came true

A clog with a sail
A ditch so small
A kid that later
Once wanted to be a sailor
A clog with a stirrer
And he the captain
That kid that later
Once wanted to be a sailor
