Nina
Tekst en Muziek: Joost Belinfante
Nina
the vineyard lies in the morning
on the hill
the sunrays dance
the miller is drunk for sure
as he dips the bill
aunt Mary has gone for water
at the well
she’ll meet all her friends
so I will go for her daughter
with another tale to tell
pretty little Nina in the morning
when the rabbits jump through the dew
pretty little Nina in the morning
I’ve been a-pickin’ flowers for you
old baker preaches his warnings
on the stairs
nobody cares
the cobbler sits on his doorstep
he just stares
aunt Mary goes to the market
on the square
everyone’s there
so I am turning my card
for Nina fair
pretty little Nina in the morning
when the rabbits jump through the dew
pretty little Nina in the morning
I’ve been a-pickin’ flowers for you
