De Wereld Vergaat [English translation]

Friends, it's time to pack your stuff

It's time to pack everything

Try to feel a bit more joy, if you can

Joy and grief stay the longest

Because Earth is already burning out

It seems that the sun and moon are leaving us

I don't force anyone to believe me,

but it's said that the world will come to an end.

Some say: It's sad to hear

That mankind will be burned.

Others say: They will smother us.

Both aren't that pleasant

It was darn exaggerated

to treat us like fish.

It's scary, shaky and trembling

to think the world will come to an end.

What's the use of washing and shaving?

What's the use of changing into a new shirt?

Just let us drink and smear

Just let us spend all our money

Come on, Jan, you still need to get some chickens,

there are enough chickens outside.

You don't have to pay,

because the world will come to an end anyway.

Is there anyone here who wants to buy clothes?

I'll take the rap for everything

I'm planning on walking around in my shirt

Because it's still too nice for the heat of the fire

I'm going to sell my tools because

there's no use in working anymore.

I won't touch them anymore,

for the world will come to an end anyway.

Finally, it had to happen.

It was predicted by the star with the tail.

Luckily, I took precautions

and spent all my money, thank God.

I am now forced to go into debt,

they'll kick me out today or tomorrow.

But I laugh, because it can't affect me,

for the world will come to an end anyway.

Yeah, the world will come to an end.
