I come from the countryside

From the Veluwe and Twenterand

Where people greet you warmly

Where life can be a bit slower

Are you coming to jump ditches soon?

Or cycling on the dike with wind force eight

Here there's less to want and need

Because more than enough grows on the land

It's beautiful, beautiful here

Just beautiful, beautiful here

They can say what they want in the big city

I find it beautiful, beautiful here

We lie on our backs

Gazing at the blue sky

A swallow flies south

But every year it comes back

It's beautiful, beautiful here

Just beautiful, beautiful here

They can say what they want in the big city

I find it beautiful, beautiful here

Building rafts and then sailing together in the canal

A calf at the neighbor's that can just stand wobbly

Hiding in the haystack at the old farm

A nest with young kittens on an afternoon in May

Building huts in the forest

Running with your hair loose

Under a thousand stars, peeing outside in the ditch

Climbing the highest tree

Until you see the whole world

When I'm tired of all the hustle, I come back here

It's beautiful, beautiful here

Just beautiful, beautiful here

They can say what they want in the big city

I find it beautiful, beautiful here

It's beautiful, beautiful here

Just beautiful, beautiful here

They can say what they want in the big city

I find it beautiful, beautiful here

It's beautiful, beautiful here

I just stay beautiful here

I stay beautiful, beautiful here

I just stay beautiful here

SONG MEANING

“Mooi Hier” is Trinity’s sunny love-letter to life outside the hustle of the big city. With playful Dutch imagery, the Jamaican singer paints a picture of wide fields in the Veluwe and Twenterand where time slows down, neighbours greet you, and there is always something green growing. From jumping over ditches and cycling against a strong headwind to lying on your back cloud-watching, each line celebrates the freedom, friendship, and innocence found in nature.

At its heart, the song is a joyful reminder that happiness often hides in the simplest moments: building rafts, climbing trees, or watching swallows return every year. While “they” in the city might chase what is new and loud, Trinity proudly repeats “het is mooi hier” – “it is beautiful here.” She invites listeners to breathe, unplug, and rediscover childlike wonder in the countryside, proving that sometimes the most magical place is the familiar patch of earth we call home.
