Hebban olla vogala

'Hebban olla vogala nestas hagunnan hinase hic anda thu, wat unbidan we nu?'

 

'Alle vogels zijn al aan het nestelen, behalve ik en jij. Waar wachten we nog op?'

 

One of the best-known phrases in Dutch language and literary history. It means, 'All the birds are already nesting, except me and you. What are we waiting for? ' They are lines from a medieval love song. A song of longing about a thousand years old.
