It's still a mystery for me why I don't like most songs in Dutch. Too boring? Too close? Too melodramic? Too direct? Too not me? No emotional connection? I prefer songs in English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Swedish etc. I love to listen to the music of a song first and after that puzzle on the accompanying lyrics secondly. In a way I seem to like songs more if the music and the lyrics are apart.
Anyway, I love this Dutch song from Stef Bos. A poem! Song (music and lyrics): here. I translated it for you into English.
P.S. This beautiful song on youtube: here.
P.P.S. I wonder what you "hear" if you listen to this song.
