Lyrics - Dutch
(Dutch folk song)
1. Jongens, heb je ‘t al vernomen
Tiralalali, tiralalala
Sinterklaas is aangekomen
Tiralalali, tiralalala
Laat ons zingen hand in hand
Sinterklaas is weer in ‘t land
Tiralalali, tiralalala
Tiralalali, tiralalala!
2. Mooie winkels allerwegen
Tiralalali, tiralalala
Prachtig speelgoed lacht ons tegen
Tiralalali, tiralalala
‘t Knechtje, ja die zwarte man
Koopt maar, koopt maar wat hij kan
Tiralalali, tiralalala
Tiralalali, tiralalala!
3. Alle kind’ren hupp’len, springen
Tiralalali, tiralalala
Hoor ze vrolijk juichen, zingen
Tiralalali, tiralalala
Ik zing ook plezierig mee
Heerlijk, heerlijk is ‘t, hoezee!
Tiralalali, tiralalala
Tiralalali, tiralalala!
English Translation - Children, have you already heard of it
1. Children, have you already heard of it?
Tiralalali, tiralalala
Sinterklaas has arrived
Tiralalali, tiralalala
Let us sing hand in hand
Sinterklaas is back in the country
Tiralalali, tiralalala
Tiralalali, tiralalala!
2. Beautiful shops, all
Tiralalali, tiralalala
Wonderful toys are laughing at us
Tiralalali, tiralalala
The servant, yes, that black man
Just buy, buy what he can
Tiralalali, tiralalala
Tiralalali, tiralalala!
3. All children are hopping, jumping
Tiralalali, tiralalala
Hear them cheerfully cheering, singing
Tiralalali, tiralalala
I also sing with pleasure
Wonderful, wonderful it is, hooray!
Tiralalali, tiralalala
Tiralalali, tiralalala!
