On the occasion of\u00a0“Tulipmania,” the tulip trade that crashed the Dutch markets in the 1600s, Mareen Lieftink and Ward Reijmerink joined me to create a song reflecting on the fragile and short life of the tulip above ground. \u00a0For this collaboration Mareen Lieftink wrote the touching lyrics, and then I set them to music. \u00a0She and Ward Reijmerink performed the song multiple times, in the Hortus Botanicus during Museum Weekend, and in a preview concert\u00a0at the Royal Conservatoire The Hague.\u00a0 Especially stunning was the dress she designed: as she ascended a ladder, more and more colored layers of fabric appeared, as when a tulip blooms.<\/p>\n

Tulp<\/p>\n

Jij groeit niet zoals het echt hoort<\/p>\n

Zie je het licht, de hemel niet?<\/p>\n

Ik denk aan jou, ik geef om jou.<\/p>\n

Ik kan niks anders doen dan dit.<\/p>\n

We hebben weinig tijd samen<\/p>\n

Waarom ga jij je eigen gang?<\/p>\n

Geen blik, geen liefde ben ik waard?<\/p>\n

Ik wil genieten, maar hoe lang?<\/p>\n

Je takelt af, gaat van mij weg<\/p>\n

Ik kan niks meer dan aanschouwen<\/p>\n

De buiging van jouw steel en blad<\/p>\n

Kan ik niet meer staande houden.<\/p>\n

(English Translation)<\/em><\/p>\n

Tulip<\/p>\n

You are not growing like you really should<\/p>\n

Don’t you see the light, the sky?<\/p>\n

I think of you, I care for you<\/p>\n

I cannot do more than this<\/p>\n

We have little time together<\/p>\n

Why are you following your own path?<\/p>\n

No look, no love am I worth?<\/p>\n

I want to enjoy but how long?<\/p>\n

You are tearing down, going away from me<\/p>\n

I cannot do more than observe<\/p>\n

The bending of your halm and leaf<\/p>\n

I can no longer keep standing.<\/p>\n
