Dit Is Mijn Stad Lyrics

The city is of stone
But built with the love of the land around it,
She reflects feeling
She colors your thoughts
Gives words a reason
And your actions an aim

[Refrain]
(Because) this is my life
This is my city
Here I feel safe
Here lies my heart
The streets and the squares
I know them all
This is my story

Please let me go
I watch over borders that have long ceased to exist
I feel here at home
Because you taste here the freedom
I am a man of the world
But here stands my home

[Refrain]
(Because) this is my life
This is my city
Here I feel safe
Here lies my heart
The streets and the squares
I know them all
This is my story

This is my life
This is my city
Here I feel safe
Here lies my heart
The streets and the squares
I know them all
This is my story

Never again will I want something other
My heart lies here forever
She understands me if I say
It is the place that I dream about
Where I pray and work and live
I simply do not wish to go away from here again

This is my life
This is my city
Here I feel safe
Here lies my heart
The streets and the squares
I know them all
This is my story

And it was given to me
As a day in the sun
Here lies my past
Where I once began

Here you can be old and young
Because she speaks the same language

This is my story
This is my story
