==Lyrics/Lietteksten==

Way down south in the country of Australia
We raised our sheep and never walked alone
We love the nature high upon the Blue Mountains
We have found ourselves a home

Well how do you like the isles of New Zealand
Where Wellington and Nelson do relive
The long white cloud, lovely place to be
Wonderful and lots to give

Mar yn it jier fan twa tûzen
Stiet ús Fryslân yn blêd en blom
Ja, yn it jier fan twa tûzen
Binne wy
Efkes werom

We like the land of Mbeki and Mandela
Their fight for freedom , justice can go on
From Bosmanland to Zululand and Pietersburg
As they say: alles sal reg kom'

On the beuatiful campina's of São Paulo
We learned to live on the land of Brasil
The carnaval of Rio de Janeiro
Da Mantiqueira, mountain hill

Mar yn it jier fan twa tûzen
Stiet ús Fryslân yn blêd en blom
Ja, yn it jier fan twa tûzen
Binne wy
Efkes werom

Stars and stripes, the USA we love
Michigan State we drove from east to west
We built our ranch, beef and cattle in Austin
American way, we love the best

From the Rocky's to the eastern Great Lake area
There's wheatfields, lumber to be jacked
Oh, how we love the Indian summer, Ontario
Oh Canada, we're coming back

Mar yn it jier fan twa tûzen
Stiet ús Fryslân yn blêd en blom
Ja, yn it jier fan twa tûzen
Binne wy
Efkes werom
Binne wy
Efkes werom

Mar yn it jier fan twa tûzen
Stiet ús Fryslân yn blêd en blom
Ja, yn it jier fan twa tûzen
Binne wy
Efkes werom
Binne wy
Efkes werom
Binne wy
Efkes werom
Binne wy
Efkes efkes efkes efkes
Efkes werom

==Translation==

The refrain, freely translated:
But in the year 2000
Our Fryslân shines again
Yes in the year 2000
We are
Back again

  • Hee Duckeeeeee,

    Zat laatst even met mijn vriendien nog eens naar je video te kijken: beslist mijn complimenten wat je met de foto's enz van hebt gemaakt. Het is mij destijds niet zo opgevallen...vandaar dat ik nu pas ( na 2 jaar..excuus) er even op reageer. Ben trots dat je de moeite hebt genomen.

    Zeer bedankt!!!!!

    Eddy Dykstra

  • Hey Eddy, Saw this and thought of the last time you visited Canada. I still have your cassette... PA
