"Marieke" lyrics
"Marieke"
Ay Marieke Marieke
Je t'aimais tant
Entre les tours
De Bruges et Gand
Ay Marieke Marieke
Il y a longtemps
Entre les tours
De Bruges et Gand
Zonder liefde warme liefde
Waait de wind de stomme wind
Zonder liefde warme liefde
Weent de zee de grijze zee
Zonder liefde warme liefde
Lijdt het licht het donk're licht
En schuurt het zand over mijn land
Mijn platte land mijn Vlaanderland
Ay Marieke Marieke
Le ciel flamand
Couleur des tours
De Bruges et Gand
Ay Marieke Marieke
Le ciel flamand
Pleure avec moi
De Bruges à Gand
Zonder liefde warme liefde
Waait de wind c'est fini
Zonder liefde warme liefde
Weent de zee déjà fini
Zonder liefde warme liefde
Lijdt het licht tout est fini
En schuurt het zand over mijn land
Mijn platte land mijn Vlaanderland
Ay Marieke Marieke
Le ciel flamand
Pesait-il trop
De Bruges à Gand
Ay Marieke Marieke
Sur tes vingt ans
Que j'aimais tant
De Bruges à Gand
Zonder liefde warme liefde
Lacht de duivel de zwarte duivel
Zonder liefde warme liefde
Brandt mijn hart mijn oude hart
Zonder liefde warme liefde
Sterft de zomer de droeve zomer
En schuurt het zand over mijn land
Mijn platte land mijn Vlaanderland
Ay Marieke Marieke
Revienne le temps
Revienne le temps
De Bruges et Gand
Ay Marieke Marieke
Revienne le temps
Où tu m'aimais
De Bruges à Gand
Ay Marieke Marieke
Le soir souvent
Entre les tours
De Bruges et Gand
Ay Marieke Marieke
Tous les étangs
M'ouvrent leurs bras
De Bruges à Gand
De Bruges à Gand
De Bruges à Gand
Yes Marieke Marieke in love we went
Between the towers of Bruges and Ghent
Yes Marieke Marieke so long we've spent
Between the towers of Bruges and Ghent
Cold and loveless cold and loveless
Blows the wind the wordless wind
Cold and loveless cold and loveless
Weeps the sea the old grey sea
Cold and loveless cold and loveless
Throbs the light the darkened light
With scouring sand across my land
My flat land my Flanders land
Yes Marieke Marieke the Flemish skies
Paint colours on the towers that rise
Yes Marieke Marieke the Flemish skies
Rain tears like those from my own eyes
Cold and loveless cold and loveless
Blows the wind it's over
Cold and loveless cold and loveless
Weeps the sea already over
Cold and loveless cold and loveless
Throbs the light everything's over
With scouring sand across my land
My flat land my Flanders land
Yes Marieke Marieke my back is bent
By Flemish skies from Bruges to Ghent
Yes Marieke Marieke those years that went
On loving you from Bruges to Ghent
Cold and loveless cold and loveless
Laughs the devil the old black devil
Cold and loveless cold and loveless
Burns my heart my ancient heart
Cold and loveless cold and loveless
Dies the summer the sombre summer
With scouring sand across my land
My flat land my Flanders land
Yes Marieke Marieke to bring it back
To bring it back from Bruges and Ghent
Yes Marieke Marieke to bring it back
That love I lack from Bruges to Ghent
Yes Marieke Marieke the skies lament
Between the towers of Bruges and Ghent
Yes Marieke Marieke my blood is spent
In every pool from Bruges to Ghent
From Bruges to Ghent from Bruges to Ghent

Down to the earth to live on the wind
