hi there,

I was looking for this song on the internet.

then i found this forum haha
don''t know if you will ever read (or care)

But it IS a song about dutch fishing.

just a very clean and nice song about making money on the dutch sea's.

very populair in the dutch fishingtowns.

Garn of garre means "shrimps" is a song about shrimp fishing.
with a shrimpboat (Garnkwak)
and a shrimppants (kwakkebroek)

the words are almost never used in the dutch language of in the dialect. (i speak this dialect.

the sea in the song is between "Volendam" and "almere"
you can look it up at Google earth

at the time in this song the county Flevoland didnt exists. this was sea.

hope u read it.

if u want complete translation please leave message.

Greets,

Jack
