This blog has been keeping track of my adventures since 2004. The stories and the adventures have come from my college dorm room to Uganda, Peace Corps Kyrgyzstan, learning Dutch in the Netherlands to living in the wilds of Homer, Alaska. I went back to school in Amsterdam to study Theaterwetenschap (Theatre Science) at University of Amsterdam. And now my adventures as a Fruit Fly, a Sexy Unicorn, and creating a movement with Team Sparkle in Chicago.

Kom op Konijntje

If you have seen me since I got back from the Netherlands or you saw me in the Netherlands you have probably heard me singing the song konijntje. It is a great song.
The chorus part literally translates into, "Come on Bunny, wiggle it, wiggle it." Feel free to enjoy a touch of the ridiculousness of Dutch culture.




* Found the lyrics to this amazing song and have traslated it the best I could:
Ik zie mensen wiebele
I see people wiggling

Kom op konijntje doe maar wiebele, wiebele
Come on bunny do more wiggling,wiggle
Kom op konijntje doe maar wiebele, wiebele, huppel
Come on Bunny do more wiggling,wiggle, skip
Kom op konijntje doe maar wiebele, wiebele, huppel
Come on Bunny do more wiggling,wiggle, skip
Doe maar huppele alsof je in het bos bent
Do more skipping as if you were in the forest

Kom op konijntje doe maar wiebele, wiebele
Kom op konijntje doe maar wiebele, wiebele, huppel
Kom op konijntje doe maar wiebele, wiebele, huppel
Doe maar huppele alsof je in het bos bent

Kom op konijntje doe maar huppele, wiebel
Come on bunny do more skipping, wiggle
Wiebel met je oortjes, laat ze heen en weer wiebele
wiggle with your ears, let them go ahead and wiggle
Kom op konijntje, doe je ding, doe je dansje
Come on bunny, do your thing, do you little dance
Kom op konijntje, ah
Kom op konijntje, ah

Ok konijntje, het is je dag vandaag
ok bunny, today is your day
Ik zing een liedje en ik doe het een beetje traag
I sing a little song and I do it a bit slowly
Voor jou alleen, voor niemand anders
for you alone and for no one else
Konijntje, omhoog met die handen
Bunny upwards with the hands

Huppel huppel konijntje, huppel en wiebel
skip, skip bunny, skip and wiggle
Huppel huppel konijntje, konijntje wiebel
skip skip bunny, bunny wiggle
Doe maar wiebele en huppele en wiebele
do more wiggling and skipping and wiggling
Beweeg die oortjes heen en weer
move the ears back and forth

    These lyrics are ridiculous, lol. Thank you for that.

    When are you going to write about your ridiculous faux-police encounter?! Your comment made me laugh out loud... and also a little concerned for the types of people you are hanging with in Homer... Just sayin'... :/
