@rohini2808

Hi, the order is Dutch, German, English, French and Limburgisch (some would call this a Dutch dialect, but it has its own unique qualities. The very last sentence is in German (Sind wir verliebt auf Maastricht).

Sorry dear Classic, but the last sentence is not in German. It is (appropriately) in Maastricht dialect: ”zien veer verleef op Mestreech”. ;-)

[ClassicalRelated]

@jeansmeets Well, you could be right. It also means that there are quite a few similarities between the Maastricht dialect and German border dialects. That is quite logical. It also happens in the border region between Twente (Enschede) and Germany. The Dutch Twente dialect is often better understood by the Germans in the border region than formal German.

Does this mean though that my description should state that Benny is singing in six languages?

All the best.

@ClassicalRelated No, Benny sings the song in five different languages. The last verse -including the very last sentence- is sung in the Maastrichtian dialect, which is one of the many dialects in Limburg.

[Huppelekut86]

@rohini2808 The first language is Dutch, the second is German, the third language is English, the fourth is French and the last language is the dialect of Maastricht, his hometown.

Viel zu früh gestorben ... - Aber Benny hat ein wundervolles Vermächtnis seiner einfühlsamen Lieder hinterlassen. Und die "Ode an Maastricht" ist sooooo wundervoll!
