歌词

[01:23.35] Shine, shine, the light of good works shine
[01:33.90] The watch before the city gates depicted in their prime
[01:43.45] That golden light all grimy now
[01:49.04] Three hundred years have passed
[01:51.36] The worthy Captain and his squad of troopers standing fast
[02:06.15] The artist knew their faces well
[02:08.19] The husbands of his lady friends
[02:10.22] His creditors and councillors
[02:12.27] In armour bright, the merchant men
[02:14.30] Official moments of the guild
[02:16.53] In poses keen from bygone days
[02:18.48] The city fathers frozen there
[02:20.32] Upon the canvas dark with age
[02:30.49] The smell of paint, a flask of wine
[02:32.85] And turn those faces all to me
[02:34.65] The blunderbuss and halberd-shaft
[02:36.81] And Dutch respectability
[02:38.71] They make their entrance one by one
[02:40.85] Defenders of that way of life
[02:42.84] The redbrick home, the bourgeoisie
[02:44.88] Guitar lessons for the wife
[03:34.98] So many years we suffered here
[03:37.16] Our country racked with Spanish wars
[03:39.42] Now comes a chance to find ourselves
[03:41.37] And quiet reigns behind our doors
[03:43.26] We think about posterity again
[04:17.82] And so the pride of little men
[04:22.13] The burghers good and true
[04:24.52] Still living through the painter's hands
[04:27.04] Request you all to understand
