Crack International ArtCamp Soundscape-Performance Dat Lân

During the CRACK International Art Camp I wrote and performed this song in Kushtia, Bangladesh. Inspired by the local people working the fields, on the other side of the pond.

Thanks to the curatorial note of Suresh, I got invited to think about the concept Panchamahabhuta (five elements). 

The people working on the fields were so connected with the earth, which was the starting point of writing this song.

Dat Lân is written in Frisian language and stands for beloning somewhere, connecting with the earth and feeling strongly grounded.

I recorded environmental sounds in Kushtia to intensify this feeling.
Glad to share it with you, would love to hear what you think!

Reina Rodina-Dat Lân

Leech by de grûn kinst net rekke wurde. 
Kinst my net reitje, kinst. 
Dreech is it om wer wekker te wurden. 
Kinst my neat meitsje kinst. 
Heech by it fjoer kinst net dreame hoege. 
Kinst my net meinimme kinst.
Nei dat lân dat se leauwe wolle. 
Oer it paad datst al witst. 

Flarden fleane om myn holle, der hinget hjir wat yn 'e loft. 
Flarden fleane om myn holle, de tijd hâldt hjir gjin skoft. 

Leech by de grûn kinst net rekke wurde. Kinst my net meinimme.

Lyrics 
Ik sjoch nei bûten, beammen stinne sa dreech. 
Bledsjes dûnsje yn de wyn, se darrelje stadich omleech. 

Ik sjoch nei bûten, fûgels fleane troch de loft.
Wjukken slagge yn 'e wyn, se geane sûnder skoft. 

Fiel it swijen, de waarmte fan de sinne. De tiid stiet stil.

Ik sjoch nei bûten, wolken streame as wetter. 
Farre op de wyn, dizze dei wurdt hieltyd better. 

Fiel it swijen, de waarmte fan de sinne. De tiid stiet stil.

Sjoch nei bûten, farre op de wyn.

Lyrics
Sasto nei my sjochst, sa sjocht gjinien, de wrâld yn. 
Sasto my besochst, sa besocht gjinien, my de wrâld yn te sjen. 
Wat ik doe tocht, tinkt gjinien, útsein do. 
Hoesto my brochst, bringt my gjinien, my by myn ljocht. 

Witsto watsto dochst. Witsto watsto dochst mei my.

Lyrics 
Leaflik sjonge wy, leaflik sjonge wy. 
Oer it op 'e nij te gean. 

Leaflik dogge wy, leaflik dogge wy. 
Tsjin inoar net mear, myn leaf. 

Waarmje op, waarmje op. 
Yn dyn, yn dyn. 

Nim ús mei, nim ús mei. 
Mei op 'e nij.

Leaflik dogge wy, leaflik sjogge wy. 
Hoe't it mei ús giet net mear. 

Waarmje op, waarmje op. 
Dat fan fjoer, dat fan fjoer. 
Yn dyn hert, yn dyn hert. 
Waarmje, waarmje. 
Yn dyn hert, yn dyn hert.

Waarmje Op

Lyrics 
Neaken lis ik hjir, op dyn waarme skoat. 
Bliedzjend út myn hert, jou ik my oer. 

Bleat toan ik my oan dy, want dat doar ik no. 
Wat west hat is foarby, dus jou ik my oer. 

Fanôf no begjint myn libben op 'e nij, sûnder dy giet noch gjin jier samar foarby. 
No't ik betrouwen haw yn dat wie doe, jou ik my oer. 

Bleat toan ik my oan dy. 
Want dat doar ik no. 
Wat west hat is foarby. 
Dus jou ik my oer.

Jou Ik My Oer

Lyrics 
Lit har gean, lit har foarút sjen
Lit har gean, lit har by inoar sykje
Har Bestean, har bestean

Hoechst net mear, hoechst net fêst te hâlden
Hoechst net mear, hoechst net drok te meitsjen om
Har Bestean, har bestean

Fêst holden, rêst nea te finen
Foldwaan wolle, neitinzen dy’t har ferbline
Oan de kimen sjocht se it wol
Se kin der no allinnich noch net komme
Oan de kimen sjocht se it wol

Freely translated
Let her go, let her look ahead
Let her go, let her seek for herself
Her existence, her existence

You don’t have to anymore, you don’t have to hold on 
You don’t have to anymore, you don’t have to worry about
Her existence, her existence

Held onto, never found peace
Trying to satisfy, thoughts that blind her
She can see it on the horizon
She just can’t get there yet
She can see it on the horizon

Lyrics
Part I
It draait yn myn holle
Ik draai troch
Ik wit net wat se wolle fan my
Ik draai troch
Ik woe noch safolle
Ik draai troch
Ik draai
Ik

Part II
Ik doch krekt as
Se fleane oer my hinne
Se fleane hiel fier fuort
Ik doch krekt as se net binne
Drippen falle yn myn skoat

Ik doch krekt as binne se
Net fan my
Mar miskien binne se ek wol
Net fan my

Ik doch krekt as
Docht it my net hiel bot sear
Ik sjoch se net mear yn de loft
Ik doch krekt as hear ik se net mear
De drippen falle yn myn skoat
Ik doch krekt as binne se
Hjir net mear
Mar miskien binne se ek wol
Hjir net mear

Part III
Flarden
Wyn
It komt wer werom
Alles komt werom
Om
Wêr giest hinne
Ik ferdwyn
It komt wer werom
Der is neat oars

Reina Rodina & Wander Kars - Diel(e)(n)

Song written in Kushtia, Bangladesh. January 2019. During CRACK International Art Camp.

The concept of the song is based on a feeling of timelessness. In between flown away memories from the past, and at the same time vague visions of the future. Being in a place where there is no order of past, present and future. Knowing everything is happening at the same time.

Ferfleagen means flown away, evaporating, bygone.

Special thanks to:
Anu Bhai for having the privilege to play on his Sarinda during the live performance
Sophie Ray Lee for designing and making the dress during the live performance (see picture, by Mridul).

Lyrics
Ferfleagen tiiden, ferfleagen dagen
Ferfleagen langstme, ferfleagen flagen
Ferfleagen eangsten, ferfleagen jierren
Ferfleagen langstme, ferfleagen blierren

Op myn siel, blierren op myn siel
Fan al dy jierren wachtsjen op dy

Ferfleagen stjerren, ferfleagen nachten
Ferfleagen langstme, ferleagen wachtsjen
Ferfleagen tsjuster, ferfleagen jierren
Ferfleagen langstme, ferfleagen blierren

Op myn siel, blierren op myn siel
Fan al dy jierren wachtsjen op dy

Dream net fierder fan wat noch kommen giet
En wat noch net ien wit
Dream net fierder fan wat noch kommen giet
En wat noch net ien wit

Allinnich wy
Allinnich wy
