They came from overseas
Hey-jah, Hoppa, Hey They came from overseas In a ship sailed by the wind, looking for profits in strange parts of the world. Manned with boys with sea legs who dreamed already of gold and fortune. Hey-jah, Hoppa, Hey They came from overseas Talked of peace and amity. Hey-jah, Hoppa, Hey They took everything. That was in the interest of the V.O.C. (Note: Dutch East India Company) De flag at the top of the mast. They were there as guests and traded a lot. The journey to this paradise had it's price, which was very expensive. Hey-jah, Hoppa, Hey They came from overseas Talked of peace and amity. Hey-jah, Hoppa, Hey They took everything. That was in the interest of the V.O.C. (Note: Dutch East India Company) That's how it worked in the golden Age, Cape of Good Hope On the streets a new call was heard: I have pepper for sale! Hey-jah, Hoppa, Hey They came from overseas Talked of peace and amity. Hey-jah, Hoppa, Hey They took everything. That was in the interest of the V.O.C. (Note: Dutch East India Company) That's how it worked in the golden Age, Cape of Good Hope On the streets a new call was heard: I have pepper for sale! Hey-jah, Hoppa, Hey They came from overseas Talked of peace and amity. Hey-jah, Hoppa, Hey They took everything. That was in the interest of the V.O.C. (Note: Dutch East India Company)
ze kwamen overzee
Heja Hoppa Hee Ze kwamen overzee Een schip gezeild door de wind, op zoek naar gewin in vreemde contreien. Bemand met jongens van stavast die droomden alvast van goud en geluk. Heja Hoppa Hee Ze kwamen overzee. Spraken over vrede en vriendschap. Heja Hoppa Hee Ze namen alles mee. Dat was in het belang van de V.O.C. De vlag ten top in de mast. Ze waren te gast en dreven veel handel. De reis naar dit paradijs kende zijn prijs, en die was peperduur. Heja Hoppa hee Ze kwamen overzee. Spraken over vrede en vriendschap. Heja Hoppa Hee Ze namen alles mee, dat was in het belang van de V.O.C. Zo ging het in de Gouden Eeuw, Kaap de Goede Hoop Er klonk op straat een nieuwe schreeuw: 'k Heb peper te koop! Heja Hoppa hee Ze kwamen overzee. Spraken over vrede en vriendschap. Heja Hoppa Hee Ze namen alles mee. Dat was in het belang van de V.O.C. Zo ging het in de Gouden Eeuw, Kaap de Goede Hoop. Er klonk op straat een nieuwe schreeuw: 'k Heb peper te koop! Heja Hoppa hee Ze kwamen overzee. Spraken over vrede en vriendschap. Heja Hoppa Hee Ze namen alles mee. Dat was in het belang van de V.O.C. © Ad van Olm
