Tulpen uit Amsterdam [English translation]

When spring arrives I will send you

Tulips from Amsterdam

When spring arrives I will pick for you

Tulips from Amsterdam

When I come back again I will bring you

Tulips from Amsterdam

A thousand yellow ones, a thousand red ones

They wish you the very best

What my mouth can't say (what I can't speak)

Tulips from Amsterdam will say

Jan (male name) from the county side said: Antje (female name)

Oh dear child, I like you

How can it be done dear Antje

Tomorrow I go to The Hague

And at the old mill

Under a sky so blue sounded

I love you and you love me

Oh Antje, I'll always be loyal to you

When spring arrives I will send you

Tulips from Amsterdam

When spring arrives I will pick for you

Tulips from Amsterdam

When I come back again I will bring you

Tulips from Amsterdam

A thousand yellow ones, a thousand red ones

They wish you the very best

What my mouth can't say (what I can't speak)

Tulips from Amsterdam will say
