Listening to this old Dutch song I felt the urge to translate some of the verses:
Human...dare to live!
People they tell you to follow rules.
They proclaim: this should be the way to live!
You are allowed to see him, but not her,
That one is beneath us,
That one you should marry
(even if you don’t like to).
There you should live.
That is the only decent thing.
If you don’t you will be ignored,
like you did something real bad.
I ask you: “ is this living”?
Life is great,
Life is beautiful.
Dare to fly,
Do not crawl into a cage.
Human dare to live!
Keep your head held high,
Your nose in the wind,
Do not always listen to what others might think.
Keep your heart filled with warmth and love,
Be proud of yourself,
Be your own ruler,
Cause what you are looking for,
No one else can give…..
Human dare to live!
