Oh sorry, the way I wrote it down with the translation it looked good, after sending it it´s formatted all shit, here we go again (without translation):

Ik hou van allen vrouwen / mijn hart is veel te groot / daar ben ik mee geboren / daar ga ik ook mee dood

Ik hou van allen vrouwen / dat is een groot verdriet / met een kan ik maar trouwen / en daarom trouw ik niet

Ik hou van alle ogen / ik kijk er gaarne in / hoe meer ik word bedrogen / hoe meer ik ze bemin

Ik hou van heel het leven / het leven om en vrouw / om ieder wat te geven / ben ik ze allen trouw

Ik hou van alle vrouwen
I love all women
mijn hart is veel te groot
My heart is far too big
daar ben ik met geboren
so I was born
daar ga ik ook mee dood
and so I´ll die

Ik hou van elle vrouwen
I love all women
dat is en groot verdriet
that´s a big problem
met een kan ik maar trouwen
I can just marry one
en daarom trouw ik niet
that´s why I don´t marry

Ik hou van alle ogen
I love all those eyes
ik kijk er gaarne in
like looking into them
hoe meer ik word bedrogen
the more I´m cheated
hoe meer ik ze bemin
the more I love them

Ik hou van heel het leven
I love all the life
het leven om een vrouw
the life around a woman
om ieder wat te geven
To give something to everyone
ben ik ze allen trouw
I`m true to all of them

I like this one, it´s from a record of RUM, Flemish folk band (of the 70`s?). If you´re REALLY into it, I can send you a tape and the text too, but I´d have to copy the LP onto a tape first... You want something more modern (chanson/cabaret) in Dutch - then try Herman Van Veen - he´s great and he should be available in Britain.
Hope this helps you,
Daniel

Yes, I am actually Dutch, although I live in Britain. Only thing is that I only have a Dutch and a (neo-tradional)Flemish tape, but no printed-out lyrics, and since they tend to be in an old-fashioned(the Dutch) or strong Antwerp ( the Flemish) dialect I'm not sure I could get it right. Do you want me to send you a tape or dou you just want me to have a go ( I couldn't do you the music, sorry, I'm not that talented) at transcribing them? If so, how many do you want, as I have at least 10 songs or more. Happy to be of help, Sophie

Can anyone give me lyrics/tunes to any folk songs in Flemish or Dutch. My grandmother was a Flemish refugee - she used to sing them to me when I was a kid, but there is only one that I can remember.

Dank U wel!

Graeme
