So Long H​.​N. Werkman

from Werkman by The Dutch / Son of Han

/

about

So Long H.N. Werkman is the first song on the album Werkman. It is an homage to the Dutch avant-garde printer, painter and artist Hendrik Nicolaas Werkman (1882-1945) who was one of the leading members of De Ploeg. Werkman never ceased to inspire his friends and colleagues to seek new ways of making art. The song reflects his adventurous nature, his optimism and the color richness of his “druksels”. In the song, Job Cohen, the former mayor of Amsterdam, reads one of Werkman’s Dadaist poems.

lyrics

Tutu, tutu, tutu
Tutu, tutu, tu

So Long, H.N. Werkman
Freedom of the mind
Speak out, play and fight
In violet lights
In silent nights

Circles, squares and chimneys
Prints of paradise
Racetracks, horses blue
Blue, blue, blue
Where are you

Somire mare maksi
Conbrise la contaksi
A monde microkaksi
Parfaite satisfaksi
Valore non valaxi
Presente par sequaxi
Colosso la colaxi
Un grande stupéfaxi
Aquiso quasi quaksi
Stupido adoraksi

Next call, H.N. Werkman
Carters plowing through
Descent into the Maelström
Round and round
And round and round
And round and round

Tutu, tutu, tutu
Tutu, tutu, tu

Punches, stamps and templates
Pressing cubes and lines
Werkman calling hey
Away we go
Away we go
Away we go

Subito un injaksi
Profonde profilaksi
Ridicula loquaxi
Un imposante smaksi
Regarde son pretaksi
Devalde educaxi
Retorica redaksi
Perfecte superflaxi
A basso immédiaxi
Salvo sonoso claxi
