DE
HAAN VAN HERVE
Moag
ich mich efkes vuurstelle?
le coq de (H)erve est mon nom
ich hub hie vreuger rondgesjarreld
bin weer truuk dat is: tres bon
ich woert oets op heng gedraage
doer de elite en de chique
hub mich joare sjtil gehouwte
mer ich zeuk weer nuuj publiek
mien kippe-harem lag te weinig eier
en waste es haan ooch dees
de luuj die zint meedogenloos
doon es of ste neet bestees
zoe verdween ich oet t Mergelland
joarelangk gein kuukelekuk
mer ich kin uch huuj vertelle
D’r Haan van Herve is weer truuk
mit zien hoenders in t Mergelland
ich woar ongergedoake in ‘t Belsj
noe wuur ich Euregionaal bekind
ich kal Limburgs, Frans, gebroake Duutsch
iesj habe tout les poules bemind
ich bin d’r sjerpe Haan van Herve
ze sjtoan vuur mich in de rie
vuur mien zwarte veere, roeeje kamp
zint ze wie de kippe d’r bie
Ich bin der Hahn von Herve
de poashaas ziene groeetste leverancier
Ich hab die größte Eier
bin de beste kier op kier
ich bin d’r Haan van Herve
bekind van radio en teevee
dat ei van Columbus hat mien mam gelag
en dat woar gein sjlech idee
D’r Haan van Herve is weer truuk
mit zien hoenders in t Mergelland
ich bin d’r Haan van Herve
ich goa in ‘t Mergelland op sjtap
neë nieks hilt mich in ‘t hoenderhok
al kukkel ich van de trap
ich bin de Gallus Gallus Domesticus
bloas van jiekere kirk toren:
ich bin verguld om te kinne zegge
dat ich hie bin geboore
want d’r daag kint pas beginne
es ich goojemurge hub gezag
ich bin d’r Haan van Herve
heerser uuver daag en nach
je suis le coq de Herve
dizze macho is noets braaf
ich blief hie renne in ‘t rondj
al houwe ze mich d’r kop d’r aaf
ich bin d’r Haan van Herve
en ooch al eindig ich in de pan
Ich hub mien jonges good opgefok
en ooch die kinne d’r get van
ozze Euregio kluurt langsaam zjwart
in de toekomst noets miee blues
gein crisis in d’r hoondersjtal
mit n Mergelland Hoen in hoes
D’r Haan van Herve is weer truuk
mit zien hoenders in t Mergelland

THE
HERVE HOEN (HERVE FOWL)
May
I introduce myself
The Herve cock is my name
I used to roam free around here
I am back, that’s very good
Once I was cherished
By the upper classes
I kept quiet for many years
But now I am looking for new admirers
My harem of hens laid too few eggs
And as for the cock, oh dear,
Those people were heartless
And did as if he didn’t exist
That’s how I disappeared from the Mergelland
Many years without cock-a-doodle
There is nothing more to tell you
The Herve rooster is back
With his hens, in the Mergelland!
I had go into hiding in Belgium
Now I am ich Euregional known
I speak Limburgs, French and a bit of German
And I made love to ‘tous les poules’
I am the proud Herve rooster
The hens are excitedly lining up for me
For my black plumage, my red comb,
They can’t wait to come to me
I am the Herve Rooster
The largest deliverer of the Easter Bunny
I have the largest eggs
I am the best, over and over again
I am the Herve Rooster
Known from radio and TV
Columbus’s egg was laid by my mum
And that was not a bad idea.
The Herve rooster is back
With his hens, in the Mergelland!
I am the Herve Rooster
I will set out in the Mergelland
No, nothing will keep me in the chicken house
Not even if I tumble down the stair
I am the Gallus Gallus Domesticus
And shout from each church tower
How proud I am to be born here
And the new day can only begin
After I first greeted her ‘good morning’
I am the Herve Rooster
Ruler over day and night
‘je suis le coq de Herve’
this macho is not a softie
I keep on running around here
They will have to butcher me before I stop
I am the Herve Rooster
And even if I end up in the frying pan,
I tought my sons good lessons
And they know their stuff
Our Euregio will bit by bit colour black
A future withour blues
No crisis in the chicken house
With a Mergelland Hoen in the house
The Herve rooster is back
With his hens, in the Mergelland!
