about

To my non-Dutch speaking friends: Het Schip Blijft Liggen, in English: The Ship Stays Where It Is, reflects on not being able to do the impossible. Run as fast as you can but your shadow stays with you. Push as hard as you can but the mountain stays where it was. Blow (literally taken!) as much as you can but the ship doesn't move.

lyrics

HET SCHIP BLIJFT LIGGEN

Loop zo snel als je kunt
Maar je schaduw
Die blijft
Die blijft
Waar je bent
Dus loop

Duw zo hard als je kunt
Maar de berg
Blijft staan
Blijft staan
Waar die stond
Dus duw

Blaas zo hard als je kunt
Maar het schip
Blijft liggen
Blijft liggen 
Waar het lag
Waar het lag
Waar het lag
Dus blaas
