The Beer Shall Flow Again

For St. Paddy's Day, and for the expats far from our Northern "Gelderland".






The beer shall flow again
The beer shall flow again
The beer shall flow again
In our Gelderland
To victory in the battle
To meat and merriment
Come, let’s drink now
To our Gelderland

Endured a thousand dark nights
Crawled through the deepest dales
Loneliness in our lives
Sneaked through nocturnal forests

The beer shall flow again
The beer shall flow again
The beer shall flow again
In our Gelderland
To victory in the battle
To meat and merriment
Come, let’s drink now
To our Gelderland

The coldest ice has been set foot on
The strongest flows, waded through
The greatest enemy, exterminated
The heaviest storm has been endured

The beer shall flow again
The beer shall flow again
The beer shall flow again
In our Gelderland
To victory in the battle
To meat and merriment
Come, let’s drink now
To our Gelderland

Far away from hearth and home
The country, so beloved by us
Yearning for our Gelderland
The sails are tight in the eastern wind

The beer shall flow again
The beer shall flow again
The beer shall flow again
In our Gelderland
To victory in the battle
To meat and merriment
Come, let’s drink now
To our Gelderland

Our destination is the horizon
We are chasing the sun
Longing for our place of birth
Now, the Rhine is leading us homeward

The beer shall flow again
The beer shall flow again
The beer shall flow again
In our Gelderland
To victory in the battle
To meat and merriment
Come, let’s drink now
To our Gelderland
