Dutch/Example 5

Tulips
Study the text of the following, rather famous, song about Amsterdam, pay a special attention to the verbs in it. Once you understand and know the text, have a look at the video. Herman Emmink first made this song popular in the Netherlands, but it actually came from Germany and was already popular in Flanders by a singer Jean Walter, before it hit Holland in 1957.



De Klok
Arnemuiden is an old fishing village in Zeeland and this song is a real old-fashioned tearjerker from there. It was made popular by de Havenzangers in the 1950s. Study the text and have a look at the video. Admittedly this is not everybody's taste, but it shows some pictures of beautiful old sailboats as they were used by fishermen in the past.
