[Verse 1]

De zomer stopt, het doek valt neer

The summer stops, the curtain falls

Niet zoals andere jaren, nee, niet meer

Not like other years, no, not anymore

Jouw lach verdwijnt, de camping stil

Your laugh disappears, the campsite quiet

Omdat jij nu verder wil

Because you want to move on now

[Chorus]

Dag mijn vriend, we zwaaien je na

Goodbye my friend, we wave you off

Al die herinneringen, ja

All those memories, yes

We zullen je missen, dat is waar

We will miss you, that is true

Maar vrienden blijven, elk jaar

But friends we'll remain, every year

[Verse 2]

Twee zomers lang, de beste tijd

Two summers long, the best time

Vol spel en dans, zonder spijt

Full of play and dance, without regret

Jij bracht de zon, de vrolijkheid

You brought the sun, the cheerfulness

Een animator, vol energie en wijsheid

An animator, full of energy and wisdom

[Chorus]

Dag mijn vriend, we zwaaien je na

Goodbye my friend, we wave you off

Al die herinneringen, ja

All those memories, yes

We zullen je missen, dat is waar

We will miss you, that is true

Maar vrienden blijven, elk jaar

But friends we'll remain, every year

[Bridge]

De afstand telt niet, dat weet je toch

Distance doesn't matter, you know that, right?

Ons contact blijft, elk moment, elk ochtendgloren

Our contact remains, every moment, every dawn

Een vriendschap die nooit dooft

A friendship that never fades

[Chorus]

Dag mijn vriend, we zwaaien je na

Goodbye my friend, we wave you off

Al die herinneringen, ja

All those memories, yes

We zullen je missen, dat is waar

We will miss you, that is true

Maar vrienden blijven, elk jaar

But friends we'll remain, every year
