lyrics

ik laat de paarden zwemmen in de kreeke
hier bie deze open plek in t riet
zie ze staan stampen aan de kant
bestoft, bezweet staan ze te dampen
vol ongeduld net terug van van t land

ik glie alvast het water in en voel
hoe het meteen mn lichaam koelt
ik leid het handperd zo de kant af
en uutgelaten volgt de rest

meestal ‘s avonds nog een leste ronde
ik kuier in mn eentje om het hof
terwijl de zon zakt achter de wilgen
bluuf ik wat stil aan t water staan
de boer en de vrouwe liggen al te slapen
maar ik tik net de nacht nog aan

ik ben de koning, ik ben de koning, ik ben de koning te rijk

we sjokken kalm terug naar de weie
ik heb mn eigen op t voorste paard gezet
en ik voel de wind zo koud deu mn haar gaan
alles nog nat van t water net
em ziewaarts zittend wieg ik mee de paarden
en heel de wereld die wiegt mee

en ik ben de koning, ik ben de koning, ik ben de koning te rijk
ik ben de koning, ik ben de koning, ik ben de koning te rijk
