| Nits – In the Dutch Mountains Lyrics | 1 year ago |
|
This is a Dutch group hailing from Amsterdam. I was also born there. Most houses were four stories buildings, if you stood on the street it looked like you were walking around in a valley (first line of the lyrics). The water ran not only in the gutter on the street, but also in the gutters of the fourth floor roof tops (second line of lyrics). I met a miller on the back of a cow. A reference to Dik Trom, a little naughty boy from a once famous Dutch book ui 1891. Often pictured sitting backwards on a donkey. The miller on the cow here represents people not to be taken seriously. The song always reminds me of my childhood in Amsterdam. Never saw mountains until I was married. Right now my record stands at 4,910 meters (Peru). If you have any doubt, look at the last word of the song: Buildings. |
