Amsterdam - Arnemuiden

## De Klok

       Will ring a welcome home for us
       The joy is sometimes mixed with sadness

       Turn the rudder - we come sailing home
       Rich was the catch - but scary and heavy the night
       Land ahoy and our eyes gaze
       To the coast who waits for us in temptation
Refrain
       Rich sea - of which the fishermen dream
       For you give bread to man and woman an child
       Cruel sea you have taken so much
       In your lap rest so many a loyal friend
