Heimat

This is a story of the land of “Overmaas and Loon”.
At the mercy of the kings of Spain
And the imperial court of Austria.
And so many others...
So many centuries ago...
Dark where those times
So many centuries ago...
Dark where those times.

Let me tell you of the land of “Overmaas and Loon”.

At the mercy of Spain and Austria.

Hell! Even plagued by French occupiers
Vagabonds and deserters.

An endless circle of marginality and misery.

Yet the farmers or clergy felt little
 of poverty and hunger, the diseases of the country.


And in this time it happened that many men
 stood up for themselfves, and uniting against 
the hopelessness of life.

Because no man deserves
 to starve in his Heimat.


No light in this darkness, these are dark times.
No light in this darkness, but we struggle on.


On this earth 
I was born, in these fields
 my heart lies.

On this earth
, I will die,
 in this county
 of Kempen and Maasland.


I can’t see the light in here,
These are dark times.
I can’t see the light in here,
These are dark times.

I can’t see the light in here,
These are dark times.
I can’t see the light in here,
These are dark times.
