Als Het Gras Twee Kontjes Hoog Is
Hydra
When the Grass is Two Bums High
A sturdy farmer's son saw one day in May
A sweet and kind girl wandering in the meadow
She picked daisies there, blooming in the field
But suddenly a bee came and stung her hand
When the grass is two bums high, helahi, helahop
When the grass is two bums high
Girls, be very careful then
Startled, she screamed and looked around
She saw the farmer's son who quickly came to her aid
He quickly took her hand that was so painful
They sat down together there in the lush grass
He quickly kissed her and eased her pain
Such a nice, lovely girl, he found it great
He took off his jacket and looked around
And in the middle of that meadow, he lay alone with her
Now she picks daisies again, with a child by her side
Her eyes wander searching over the green land
She never saw him again after he left her
While looking at her child, she softly sings this song now
