Discover the story of the song > De boer is de keerl – Normaal

The lyrics of this song talk about the hard work and struggles of a farmer. The protagonist works hard all year round, even on Sundays, and wonders why he does it all. He has to go to the market on Tuesday mornings to buy and sell his products. Despite all his hard work, the farmer doesn't earn much money because the manufacturers and the bank take most of the profit. The farmer is also burdened with a heavy debt and struggles to pay the taxes. The lyrics emphasize that if the farmer were to go on strike, it would have a significant impact on everyone.
