Dat It Der Al Is

DAT IT DER AL IS

Witst noch dy kear dat ik echt net mear
Seach hoe’t it fierder gie
En it liet fan de ivige twifel my wer 
By de kiel hie

En do seist it komt sa’t it komt en oars
Komt it mar net, mar wy binn’ der al
Dus lit it mar sitte en as it de tiid
Derfoar is, no dan komt it wol

De stream fan de dingen dy sil dy wol
Bringe wêr’st hinne moast, folgje mar
En al tinkst dat it paad by dy weirint
Dyn fuotten dy folgje har

En wit dat it goed is sa’t it is
En dat it hjoed is datsto der bist, leaf
En datst fertrouwe kinst
En wit datst frij bist
Frij om leaf te hawwen
Elk momint opnij
Ferjit net dat it der al is, leaf
Dat it der al is, leaf
Ferjit net dat it der al is
Dat alles der al is
Dat alles der al is, leaf
Dat it der al is    

Dy kear dat de apen en bearen
Gelyk mei de sinne de trep op kamen
En do seist wat leuk jim te moetsjen
En ús mei syn allen mei nei ûnderen naamst 

Datsto mei in taartsje op tafel
Ferteldest hoe wiis ast bist
Mei ús en mei al wat ús jûn is
De rykdom dy’t leafde is

En wit dat it goed is sa’t it is
En dat it hjoed is datsto der bist, leaf
En datst fertrouwe kinst
En wit datst frij bist
Frij om leaf te hawwen
Elk momint opnij
Ferjit net dat it der al is, leaf
Dat it der al is, leaf
Ferjit net dat it der al is
Dat alles der al is
Dat alles der al is, leaf
Dat it der al is

Translation

That It's Already Here

Remember that time when I just couldn’t see
A way ahead
And the song of eternal doubt
Got me by the throat

And you said, we’ll take things as they come
Never mind what doesn’t come, we’re already here
So let it go and don’t hold on tight
Things will work out when the time is ripe

The flow of things will take you
Where you need to be, just follow
Even if the path seems to run away from you
Your feet are still following

And know that it’s fine the way it is
And that it’s today that you’re here, my love    
And that you can trust
And know you are free

Free to love
Every moment anew
Remember that it’s already here, my love
That it’s already here, my love
Remember that it’s already here
That everything’s already here
That everything’s already here, my love
That it’s already here

Those times when the bugbears ahead
Came climbing up the stairs with the sun
When you said it’s so nice to meet you
And took us all downstairs again

You put cake out for all of us, saying
How happy you are
With us and with all we’ve been given
The riches love brings

And know that it’s fine the way it is
And that it’s today that you’re here, my love    
And that you can trust
And know you are free
Free to love
Every moment anew
Remember that it’s already here, my love
That it’s already here, my love
Remember that it’s already here
That everything’s already here
That everything’s already here, my love
That it’s already here
