Laïs - Bruidsnacht

Zij is naar 't duin gegaan
Haar bruidskleed had zij aan
Baren gaan heen en weer
Sterren staan klaar

Eenzaam in doods gebied
Ontwaakt hij en hoort haar lied
Baren gaan heen en weer
Donker is 't tij

Hij kwam uit zee naar 't strand
Hij nam haar bij de hand
Baren gaan heen en weer
Sterren staan klaar

Donker duin
Donker duin
Sterren staan helder klaar
Zij rusten eeuwig
Bij elkaar

Toen in dat geurend kruid
Werd zij 'n gekroonde bruid
Baren gaan heen en weer
Donker is 't tij

Hij nam haar met zich mee
Terug naar de brandende zee
Baren gaan heen en weer
Sterren staan klaar

Donker duin
Donker duin
Sterren staan helder klaar
Zij rusten eeuwig
Mm mm... Bij elkaar

Donker duin
Donker duin
Sterren staan helder klaar
Zij rusten eeuwig
Mm mm... Bij elkaar

[TheFactoryOfLight]

Such a sad song and a moving one. Laïs sing like angels, truly, and are among the most talented and yet unrecognised acts of Europe.

@BALKISDREAMER Music score by Lais/Kadril ~ My father was an artist: painter (schilder) and poet (dichter). I gave a (first) draught in translating his lyrics, trying to match the English version to the music. Since there is not enough space here to copy/paste it, you can find it at my blog ~see link on my youtube channel (at blog go to Contents: "Bridal Night') Hope you like it ;)

Could we find any translation for us, such incult non-netherlandophone ...?
