English Translation:
Hurray, viva, Maastricht
Yes you have been in our heart
Maastricht, troughout all the ages
We will always stay kind to you
and share sadness and pleasure
We listend to your old stories
horssitting at granddad's knees
our eyes shined at your glories
or were pears at your distress
Yes you have been in our heart
Maastricht, troughout all the ages
We will always stay kind to you
and share sadness and pleasure
We listend to your old stories
horssitting at granddad's knees
our eyes shined at your glories
or were pears at your distress
2. Mestreech is neet breid, meh Mestreech dat is laank
Mestreech is neet breid meh Mestreech dat is laank.
Mestreech is de stad vaan de Gezèlle vaan de Zaank.
Niks is te lestig en niks is te zwoer,
want vruntsjap dat is noe zjus de krach vaan 't koer.
Veer zien gezellig es vrun ónderein.
Us te ammezeere, dat vinde veer zoe fijn.
Vergete is de zörreg die soms op us drök.
daorum koume veer edere maondag trök.
Mestreech is neet breid meh Mestreech dat is laank.
Mestreech is de stad vaan de Gezèlle vaan de Zaank.
Niks is te lestig en niks is te zwoer,
want vruntsjap dat is noe zjus de krach vaan 't koer.
Mestreech is neet breid meh Mestreech dat is laank.
Mestreech is de stad vaan de Gezèlle vaan de Zaank.
Niks is te lestig en niks is te zwoer,
want vruntsjap dat is noe zjus de krach vaan 't koer.
Dutch:
Maastricht is niet breed maar Maastricht dat is lang.
Maastricht is de stad van het gezelschap van de zang
Niets is te lastig en niets is te zwaar
Want vriendschap dat is nu juist de kracht van het koor.
Wij hebben het gezellig als vrienden onder elkaar
Ons te amuseren dat vinden we zo fijn
Vergeten de zorgen die soms op ons drukken.
Daarom komen we elke Maandag terug.
Maastricht is niet breed maar Maastricht dat is lang.
Maastricht is de stad van het gezelschap van de zang
Niets is te lastig en niets is te zwaar
Want vriendschap dat is nu juist de kracht van het koor.
English: Maastricht is not broad, but it's long
Deutsch: Maastricht ist nicht breit, aber Maastricht ist lang

@jeansmeets Thank you sir, i suppose the equivellant song from where i was born would be "i belong to Glasgow".. Maybe i need to learn a little Dutch to sing along with the crowd if i go to an Andre Rieu concert in Holland. You have a beautiful country and by the emotion of the signing a proud history.

As promised:
Hurray long live Maastricht
Yes you have always been on our hearts and minds.
Maastricht through all the ages.
We've always been loyal to you
And shared grieve and joy.
We listened to your old histories, sitting on our grandfathers lap
Our eyes where shining in your times of glory and shed tears in your times of hardship.

Hi Samgub, thanks for your kind words.
I will make an effort to translate the lyrics of the Maastricht anthem in English for you. It's not easy, believe me.
The text is full of expression which is hard to translate. And I want to do the job well.
I will be in touch shortly.

I love this concert, i only wish i knew what people were signing and i'd love to know how much it costs to have one of the outside tables by the bars to watch this. It's great that both old and young are signing this Maasterich anthem and getting very emotional at the same time.
