[Houd Uw] Kanneke [English translation]

A girl was going out for wine

hold on to your jar

in the evening in the moonlight

at night, at night

keep your jar clean Dianneke

hold on to your jar

keep your jar clean Dianneke

hold on to your jar

What did she spot on her way

Hold on to your jar

Handsome youth underneath the moon

At night, at night

keep your jar clean Dianneke

hold on to your jar

keep your jar clean Dianneke

hold on to your jar

That ride spoke onto that maid

Hold onto your jar

By night, by night

He pushed her down in the green grass

By night, by night, ....

When he'd done his will

Hold on to your jar

Beautiful love, you can go home now

By night, by night, ....

keep your jar clean Dianneke

hold on to your jar

keep your jar clean Dianneke

hold on to your jar

He who sang this song before

Hold onto your jar

His little bells didn't give any sound

keep your jar clean Dianneke

hold on to your jar

keep your jar clean Dianneke

hold on to your jar

He pushed her down
