De Heideroosjes - G.r.a.n.d.d.a.d. Lyrics

Granddad was 80 years, physically still strong

Went every Sunday by foot from house to church

Days he was sitting against the windowpane, he greeted everyone

Kids were always in his house and parents were around

But one day grandson decided, grandpa was to old

Grandson bought the house and renovated it

Granddad got transported to a elderly condo

He got a room on the thirteenth floor with a bed

Grandpa didn't need to complain on nursing

Three times a day a meal and sometimes a short talk

But grandpa missed his house, his windowpane and his street

The neighborhood where he used to live, where his house still stands

But… Granddad was put away, cleaned up and dropped down

Thank you for the work, you can go now

Granddad is conserved, kept out of society

Your time is over, you can go now

Granddad…

Like, once a year, grandson drops by

One short visit, it's always pretty sourish

Grandson tells about his work, his wife, his house

That house in that nice neighborhood, that was grandpa's home

Grandson says: â€oeGrandpa, I need to go now”

The coffee cup not even empty, but the duty is done

And granddad thinks silently: â€oeWhy me?”

Deep inside grandpa, it's his heart that cries out loud

Granddad passed away, he couldn't take it no more

His whole life he worked hard and then he had to go

Grandpa is slowly murdered and it took a year

But grandson is happy in that house in that nice neighborhood…
