Lyrics
Description
[Intro]
Guitars spit, toms stomp — a city breathes
(chant) Laat knallen! Laat knallen! (x4)
[Verse 1]
On oudejaarsavond the canals remember light,
Sparklers for children, the smell of gunpowder at night.
Windows rattle with history, echoes down the steeg,
Neighbours pass the flasks and laugh — a ritual we keep.
[Pre-Chorus]
They call it safety, call it quiet, write it down in law,
But streets that sang with vuurwerk now feel shock and awe.
We taste the tang of powder on our tongues, we hear the crack,
This vuurwerkverbod can't steal the pulse that takes us back.
[Chorus]
Laat knallen! (Laat knallen!)
We will not be muted, we will not fall
Laat knallen! (Laat knallen!)
Light the sky, reclaim our oudejaarsavond call
Gang vocals: Laat — knal — len! (staccato)
[Verse 2]
From Amsterdam canals to Rotterdam's cold piers,
Kids wait for sparklers, pets cower, the neighbourhood hears
The hum of a policy that fences festive nights,
Cracked panes of memory, bonfires in the buurt alight.
[Pre-Chorus]
It's not just noise — it's how we mark the year gone by,
Bonfires, street games, the laugh that meets the sky.
They say it's for the quiet, for the thin-voiced and the frail,
But silence takes a culture — we push back and wail.
[Chorus — Variation]
Laat knallen! (x2) — louder, then a short shout: Knal Vrijheid!
We chant in rows, fists raised high
Laat knallen! — (staccato) — Let the fireworks cry
Gang vocals: Knal! Vrij! - heid! (echo)
[Bridge — Climactic Call]
Hear the posters clack, the flyers fold — meet at Dam at midnight,
Oudejaarsavond, bring your voices, bring your light.
Sign the pages, raise your placards, one song, one line:
No vrije traditie zonder keuze — keep the sky mine.
(chant, building) Laat knallen! — Laat knallen! — Laat knallen!
[Breakdown]
Guitar riff, raw and dirty; stomping toms like marching feet
A chorus of canal echoes — every straat, every straat a beat
Smell of gunpowder, taste of salt from the sea, we scream back
No quiet grave for our rituals, we take the night back.
[Final Chorus — Escalated]
Laat knallen! (full gang) — Knal Vrijheid! (call-and-answer)
We will not be muted, we will not bend
Laat knallen! — louder, higher — until the last spark ends
(High harmony) Let the sky be our page, let every burst attest
We reclaim oudejaarsavond — we refuse to rest.
[Outro]
Stomp the beat, let the chant remain
(soft) For the kids with sparklers, for the pets that cry in pain
(chant fades) Laat knallen… Laat knallen…
End on one last roar: Knal Vrijheid!
