Mournful Beauty

We steel away into the night

I hope this never ends

Together dancing

around the fire

to the sounds of folk

and an enticing carousel

So come my beauty

Follow me into the night

Door de bossen van mijn Vlaanderen

Voor altijd een plaats in m'n hart

But why are we here

In this oppressed land

See the landscape

once so glorious

now dominated

by wreaths of smoke

See my house

built for children and wife

Now totally destroyed

So...

Come with me, fight with me

or flee with me to the higher North

Come with me, defend with me

the place where we ever lived

I'm not making plans

to give this away

this mournful beauty

So...

Come with me, fight with me

or flee with me to the higher North

Come with me, defend with me

the place where we ever lived
