'Verbondenheid' - Kim, 9 jaar | 'Connectedness' - Kim, 9 years old

Peace, peace, that's pleasant

Peace, that should be

We celebrate throughout the village

We play all sorts of games

Together, that's the finest thing there can be

For a long time now my parents are not together anymore, because my father has a new girlfriend

My mother was quite sad

My father is now with another woman, they have a child
And yet I hope, that we all stay connected

All of the Netherlands is liberated, everyone is happy

All of the Netherlands is joyous, the war was so deadly

Thanks to the English we are liberated

They came by land and air

Therefore, we are liberated now, everyone is relieved
